Madagascar as a model region of species diversification (2009)
Journal Article
Vences, M., Wollenberg, K. C., Vieites, D. R., & Lees, D. C. (2009). Madagascar as a model region of species diversification. Trends in ecology & evolution, 24(8), 456-465. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2009.03.011

Tropical biotas provide excellent settings in which to explore mechanisms of evolutionary diversification, yet these processes remain poorly understood. Pioneering work on biodiversity patterns and diversification processes in other tropical regions... Read More about Madagascar as a model region of species diversification.
