In some ways, islands provide a ready-made laboratory for studying evolution. Thanks to their isolation from each other and the mainland, islands offer an ideal venue for speciation, with Darwin's ...

In the realm of marine biogeography, there is a widely held scientific principle: the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans are ...

AbstractThe biogeography of speciation and what can be learned about the past mode of speciation from current biogeography of sister species are recurrent problems in evolution. We used a trait- and ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers is advocating for convergent research that integrates the fields of biogeography and behavioral ecology to more rapidly respond to challenges associated with ...

The International Biogeography Society (TIBS) has relaunched its flagship open-access scientific journal, Frontiers of Biogeography (FoB), on the ARPHA platform, where it will be co-published with ...

Island biogeography theory, the idea that fragmented ecosystems have lower species richness per unit of area compared with contiguous habitats, has served as a useful conceptual model to understand ...

In the realm of marine biogeography, there is a widely held scientific principle: the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans are ...

(Phys.org)—For the first time in decades, researchers have conducted an extensive exploration for deep-sea corals and sponges in submarine canyons off the northeastern coast of the US. The survey ...
