Introductionion seems to require that we do not use all the apparently relevant data. Latitudinal diversity gradients (Chapter 3) and species-area relationships (Chapter 4) are examples. How do we decide which data are useful? Any satisfactory exlplanation of the patterns must encompass both supporting and conf

In other words, species in similar ‘niches’ are different taxa which have had different histories. Historical biogeography focuses on evolution - change in t

Speciations of speciation: inferences in biogeography may therefore depend on how new species arise. Finally, the wealth of molecular data now becoming available gives accurate information about phylogenies over the very long time-scales with which much of biogeography is concerned.
