Dating nodes on molecular phylogenies: a critique of molecular biogeography
- M. Heads
- Biology
- 1 February 2005
Taxa have been dated using three methods: equating their age with the age of the oldest known fossil, with the age of strata the taxa are endemic to, and with the age of paleogeographic events. All… Expand

Biogeographic disjunction along the Alpine fault, New Zealand
- M. Heads
- Biology

Eighty taxa (subspecies, species, species groups, genera and families) showing disjunction along the New Zealand Alpine fault (Australian/Pacific plate boundary) are documented and mapped. Four plant… Expand
Towards a panbiogeography of the seas
- M. Heads
- Biology
- 1 April 2005
A contrast is drawn between the concept of speciation favoured in the Darwin–Wallace biogeographic paradigm (founder dispersal from a centre of origin) and in panbiogeography (vicariance or… Expand

Aim The aim of this paper is to analyse the biogeography of Nothofagus and its subgenera in the light of molecular phylogenies and revisions of fossil taxa. Location Cooler parts of the South… Expand
Old taxa on young islands: a critique of the use of island age to date island-endemic clades and calibrate phylogenies.
- M. Heads
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 March 2011
The age of a clade has been estimated by using the age of its oldest fossils, the age of islands or strata that the clade is endemic to, and the age of tectonic events that are spatially related to… Expand
