Aim Phylogenetic studies concerning island biogeography have been concentrated in a fraction of the numerous hot-spot archipelagos contained within the Pacific Ocean. In this study we investigate relationships among island populations of the thomisid spider Misumenops rapaensis Berland, 1934 across the Austral Islands, a remote and rarely examined southern Pacific hot-spot archipelago. We also assess the phylogenetic position of M. rapaensis in relation to thomisids distributed across multiple…

Biogeography of the fauna of French Polynesia: diversification within and between a series of hot spot archipelagos
TLDR
Molecular markers highlight the rapidity of Polynesian human (plus commensal) migrations and the importance of admixture from other populations during the period of prehistoric human voyages.
Diversity despite dispersal: colonization history and phylogeography of Hawaiian crab spiders inferred from multilocus genetic data
TLDR
The results indicate that dispersal has been sufficiently limited to allow extensive ecological diversification, yet frequent enough that interisland migration is more common than speciation.
Molecular phylogeny of Indo‐Pacific carpenter ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae, Camponotus) reveals waves of dispersal and colonization from diverse source areas
TLDR
Results indicate that the Pacific members of this group comprise several robust clades that have distinctly different biogeographical histories, and they suggest an important role for Australia as a source of Pacific colonizations.
Phylogeography of Australian and New Zealand spray zone spiders (Anyphaenidae: Amaurobioides): Moa's Ark loses a few more passengers
TLDR
The present study further limits the scope of the Moa's Ark hypothesis of vicariant New Zealand biogeography by showing that Amaurobioides reached Australia approximately 4.5 Mya and dispersed twice to New Zealand.
Genetic relationships of Amaurobioides (Anyphaenidae) spiders from the southeastern coast of New Zealand
TLDR
This study expands the distribution records of three morphological species of Amaurobioides found on the eastern and southern coasts of New Zealand’s South Island and uses mitochondrial DNA to examine their relationships and characterize their dispersal capabilities.
A preliminary molecular analysis of phylogenetic and biogeographic relationships of New Zealand Thomisidae (Araneae) using a multi-locus approach
TLDR
Evidence of recent dispersal to New Zealand by Australian stephanopines combined with the proposed maximum divergence date of 5.3 mya indicates that the New Zealand thomisids are a younger lineage than previously suspected.
Species diversification patterns in the Polynesian jumping spider genus Havaika Prószyński, 2001 (Araneae, Salticidae).
TLDR
This study examines the evolutionary patterns exhibited by the jumping spider genus Havaika Prószyński, 2001 in the Polynesian islands of the Hawaiian and Marquesas chains and concludes that genealogical relationships are better predicted by geographical affinity than by morphological characters used in the original descriptions of the species.
Molecular phylogeography of the Society Islands (Tahiti; South Pacific) reveals departures from hotspot archipelago models
TLDR
This work reviews phylogenetic and phylogeographical studies incorporating Society Island terrestrial animal and plant taxa and asks where are the sister groups of Societies lineages distributed and how old is the Societies biota.
Charting the course of reed-warblers across the Pacific islands
TLDR
The phylogeny and biogeography of the insular reed-warblers of the tropical Pacific Ocean are investigated, suggesting a previously undetected case of reverse colonization for the Australian lineage and indicating that A. luscinius, as currently defined, is not monophyletic.
Evidence for Miocene overwater colonization in Caribbean Cyrtognatha spiders
TLDR
The authors' analyses refute vicariance and instead support an overwater colonization to the Caribbean in mid-Miocene, suggesting a monophyletic radiation of Caribbean Cyrtognatha, containing 11 to 14 species that are exclusively single island endemics.

Biogeography of spiders on remote oceanic islands of the Pacific: archipelagoes as stepping stones?
TLDR
Coloration of the Hawaiian, Marquesas and Society archipelagoes by Tetragnatha spiders appears to have occurred independently, most likely in each case from a continental source, but not from the nearest archipelago, and in situ speciation has occurred in the Marquesa and Society Islands in a similar manner to that in Hawaii, although apparently on a smaller scale.
Patterns of genetic variation in Pacific island land snails: the distribution of cytochrome b lineages among Society Island Partula
TLDR
The distribution of mitochondrial lineages across islands strongly indicates that their origins predate the colonization of the islands in the study, and that they are very unlikely to have evolved entirely in situ.

Geographical history of the central‐western Pacific black fly subgenus Inseliellum (Diptera: Simuliidae: Simulium) based on a reconstructed phylogeny of the species, hot‐spot archipelagoes and hydrological considerations
TLDR
The geological history of islands where Inseliellum occurs, plus a cladistic analysis and hydrological considerations, provide the basis for a reconstructed geographical history of the species, indicating dispersal back to older islands, with minor subsequent species radiation.
SEQUENTIAL RADIATIONS AND PATTERNS OF SPECIATION IN THE HAWAIIAN CRICKET GENUS LAUPALA INFERRED FROM DNA SEQUENCES
  • K. Shaw
  • Biology, Medicine
    Evolution; international journal of organic evolution
  • 1996
TLDR
The phylogenetic estimate produced from both maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony supports the hypothesis that speciation in Laupala occurred mainly within islands, and Hypotheses that may explain the conflict between the phylogenetic patterns of mtDNA variation and the species taxonomy are discussed.

  • M. Hedin
  • Biology, Medicine
    Evolution; international journal of organic evolution
  • 1997
TLDR
Analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences for a sample of individuals from 81 populations representing 28 Nesticus species indicate that considerable genetic divergence exists within and among currently recognized morphological species, and evidence to suggest that cryptic phylogenetic lineages exist within some morphologically continuous units.

  • 2002
TLDR
The nDNA phylogeny corroborates the hypothesis of allopatric divergence and multiple invasions, and when compared with mtDNA patterns, suggests that interspecific hybridization is a persistent feature of the history of Laupala.
Stepping stones to Hawaii: a trans-equatorial dispersal pathway for Metrosideros (Myrtaceae) inferred from nrDNA (ITS+ETS)
TLDR
From an origin in New Zealand, the woody angiosperm Metrosideros is likely to have crossed the equator to Hawaii using a staging point in the remote Marquesas Islands, a possible climatic mechanism for this dispersal is described.
Origin of the Hawaiian endemic mints within North American Stachys (Lamiaceae).
TLDR
It is hypothesize that the Hawaiian mints may be polyploid hybrids whose reticulate genomes predate the Hawaiian dispersal event and are derived from Stachys lineages with flowers exhibiting insect- vs. bird-pollination characteristics.
