Aim We investigated the biogeographical patterns of a widespread arboreal lizard found throughout Wallacea and the western Pacific islands. Wallacea contains longstanding oceanic currents that flow from the Pacific Ocean into the Indian Ocean, known as the Indonesian Throughflow. Using genetic data, we aim to estimate the timing and sequence of island colonisation in the Lesser Sunda archipelago of southern Wallacea, and to de...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Recent colonization and expansion through the Lesser Sundas by seven amphibian and reptile speciesNARA Subscribed
The Lesser Sundas Archipelago is comprised of two parallel chains of islands that extend between the Asian continental shelf (Sundaland) and Australo‐Papuan continental shelf (Sahul). These islands have served as stepping stones for taxa dispersing between the Asian and Australo‐Papuan biogeographical realms. While the oceanic barriers have prevented many species from colonizing the archipelago, a number of terrestrial vertebr...
Aim The Lesser Sunda Islands are situated between the Sunda and Sahul Shelves, with a linear arrangement that has functioned as a two‐way filter for taxa dispersing between the Asian and Australo‐Papuan biogeographical realms. Distributional patterns of many terrestrial vertebrates suggest a stepping‐stone model of island colonization. Here we investigate the timing and sequence of island colonization in Asian‐origin fanged fr...
Cryptic diversity and biogeographical patterns within the black salamander ( Aneides flavipunctatus ) complexNARA Subscribed
Aim Phylogeographical structure in the black salamander ( Aneides flavipunctatus ) was inferred using two independent genetic datasets. Concordance between the datasets was sought in order to evaluate earlier suggestions of species‐level breaks and evidence of vicariance and long‐term isolation within the complex. We hypothesized that major phylogeographical breaks would either correspond to current tectonic plate boundaries o...
The accurate delimitation of evolutionary population units represents an important component in phylogeographic and conservation genetic studies. Here, we used a combined population assignment and historical demographic approach to study a complex of ecomorphologically distinctive populations of B lack S alamanders ( A neides flavipunctatus ) that are parapatrically distributed and meet at a three‐way contact zone in north‐wes...
