Giant tortoises are not so slow: rapid diversification and biogeographic consensus in the Galápagos.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 27 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

Isolated oceanic archipelagos have played a major role in the development of evolutionary theory by offering a unique setting for studying spatial and temporal patterns of biological diversification. However, the evolutionary events that cause associations between genetic variation and geography in archipelago radiations are largely unknown. This finding is especially true in the Galápagos Islands, where...
