Biogeography considers the distribution of biological units over a
wide range of scales. The units range from genotypes, populations
and species to families and higher taxa. Processes can be local,
such as the isolation on islands due to sea-level fluctuations, or
large-scale tectonic processes that separates continents and
creates oceans. In all processes time is an important factor and by
combining data on recent patterns with paleontological data the
understanding of the distribution of extant taxa can be improved.
This volume focuses on speciation due to isolation in island-like
settings, and the evolution of large-scale diversity as the result
of origination, maintenance and extinction.
