Keywords:

  • historical biogeography, geographic distributions of organisms - phylogenetic, evolutionary change to geological and climate changes;
  • area and biota, problematic concepts - authors, applying the same noun at different scales, and to different phenomena;
  • potential sources of noise, obscuring biogeographic congruence - analytical techniques teasing out signal of congruence
