This result is inconsistent with the assumption of the equilibrium theory of island 'biogeography' that animal density is independent of island area.
Historical 'biogeography' deals with phylogenetic patterns among species and higher lineages attributable to relatively ancient events in earth history.

Platnick and Nelson, who introduced the concepts of cladistic 'biogeography' , required that all taxa used must occur in three or more similar areas.
Uncertainties in history, archeology, 'biogeography' , anthropology and biosystematics obscure the dates and places of the first domestication of cultivated crops.
By using trilobite examples they push cladistic 'biogeography' beyond the typical scope because the focus is a marine taxon whose evolutionary history predates the fragmentation of Pangea.
Despite its very promising beginnings, we agree with the assessment of Nelson and Ladiges that cladistic 'biogeography' has yielded few genuinely new insights over the last twenty years.
The lasting contribution of the book is in its summary of avian distributions and natural history, not in the phylogenetic interpretation of speciation and 'biogeography' .
The foregoing is not to say that Newton does not appreciate the fact that a phylogenetic hypothesis can be important in 'biogeography' .
We would like to thank Michael L. May for many helpful discussions of damselfly biology and 'biogeography' .
Nothofagus, the southern beech, is a classic example of plant 'biogeography' .
No observations from the fossil record or genomics or 'biogeography' or comparative anatomy that undermine standard evolutionary thinking.
Darwin's third line of evidence came from 'biogeography' , the study of the geographic distribution of plants and animals.

Second, the results of standard cladistic 'biogeographic' analyses, which may combine groups of different ages, cannot be unambiguously attributed to any particular cause.
‘The changes [in ocean acidity] aren't huge,’ said John Guinotte, a marine 'biogeographer' at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute in Bellevue, Washington.
These taxa are biostratigraphically and 'biogeographically' significant and are discussed more fully below.
Furthermore, trilobite faunas in the Early Cambrian were already differentiated 'biogeographically' .
Artists, photographers, filmmakers, kids doing nature study, 'biogeographers' , conservation biologists, and activists, as well as taxonomists, shuffle through them for the sake of beauty, curiosity, and amazement.
Clearly, raising each unique sequence type to the level of a strain is not biologically informative as each ‘strain’ will map to a terminal branch in a phylogeny and little can be inferred 'biogeographically' or evolutionarily.
Because of its systematic and 'biogeographical' position, this genus is also relevant for the understanding of plant evolution.
