Biogeography and diversification of hermit spiders on Indian Ocean islands (Nephilidae: Nephilengys).

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 May 2011

Kuntner Matjaž, Agnarsson Ingi

Abstract excerpt

The origin of the terrestrial biota of Madagascar and, especially, the smaller island chains of the western Indian Ocean is relatively poorly understood. Madagascar represents a mixture of Gondwanan vicariant lineages and more recent colonizers arriving via Cenozoic dispersal, mostly from Africa. Dispersal must explain the biota of the smaller islands such as the Comoros and the chain of Mascarene islands, but...
