Why is Madagascar special? The extraordinarily slow evolution of pelican spiders (Araneae, Archaeidae).

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2015

Wood Hannah M, Gillespie Rosemary G, Griswold Charles E, Wainwright Peter C

Abstract excerpt

Although Madagascar is an ancient fragment of Gondwana, the majority of taxa studied thus far appear to have reached the island through dispersal from Cenozoic times. Ancient lineages may have experienced a different history compared to more recent Cenozoic arrivals, as such lineages would have encountered geoclimatic shifts over an extended time period. The motivation for this study was to unravel the signature...
