Recent and rapid colonization of the Lesser Sundas Archipelago from adjacent Sundaland by seven amphibian and reptile species

2019-03-09

Abstract excerpt

The Lesser Sundas Archipelago is comprised of two parallel chains of islands that extend between the Asian continental shelf (Sundaland) and Australo-Papuan continental shelf (Sahul). These islands have served as stepping-stones for taxa dispersing between the Asian and Australo-Papuan biogeographic realms. While the oceanic barriers have prevented many species from colonizing the archipelago, a number of terrestr...
