Over the last decade, molecular studies carried out on the
Australasian biota have revealed a new world of organic structure
that exists from submicroscopic to continental scale. Furthermore,
in studies of global biogeography and evolution, DNA sequencing has
shown that many large groups, such as flowering plants, passerine
birds and squamates, have their basal components in this area.
Using examples ranging from kangaroos and platypuses to kiwis and
birds of paradise, the book examines the patterns of distribution
and evolution of Australasian biodiversity and explains them with
reference to tectonic and climatic change in the region. The
surprising results from molecular biogeography demonstrate that an
understanding of evolution in Australasia is essential for
understanding the development of modern life on Earth. A milestone
in the literature on this subject, this book will be a valuable
source of reference for students and researchers in biogeography,
biodiversity, ecology and conservation.
