Flying shells: historical dispersal of marine snails across Central America.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Mar 2012

Miura Osamu, Torchin Mark E, Bermingham Eldredge, Jacobs David K, Hechinger Ryan F

Abstract excerpt

The geological rise of the Central American Isthmus separated the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans about 3 Ma, creating a formidable barrier to dispersal for marine species. However, similar to Simpson's proposal that terrestrial species can 'win sweepstakes routes'-whereby highly improbable dispersal events result in colonization across geographical barriers-marine species may also breach land barriers given...
