A key objective of our paper is therefore to assess the sensitivity to assumptions inherent in the applications of Conservation Biogeography we review In
A prevailing assumption in biogeography has been that most isolated populations of shallow-water marine organisms are a result
claw size: Assumptions and a null hypothesis Syst [Predaceous crabs; biogeography; allometry; diversity This assumption was shown to be valid
the Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography (ETIB) Two assumptions of the ETIB: 1 Rate of immigration of new species decreases with increasing species
Presumably using com- ponent analysis coupled with the assumption that wide ranging species be allowed to "float" over the area cladogram, Platnick (152)
is better and more neutral than any other biogeographical assumption Key- WOrds: Assumption 2; Brooks Parsimony Analysis; Cladistic Biogeography; Com‑
Area cladograms are widely used in historical biogeography to summarize area the assumptions are inapplicable to event–based methods of biogeographic
