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…

Diversity despite dispersal: colonization history and phylogeography of Hawaiian crab spiders inferred from multilocus genetic data
- Environmental Science, BiologyMolecular ecology
- 2009
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.

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
- Biology
- 2016
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.
Molecular phylogeography of the Society Islands (Tahiti; South Pacific) reveals departures from hotspot archipelago models
- Biology
- 2016
The phylogeography of the native terrestrial biota of the Society Islands, an archipelago formed < 4.6 Ma, is reviewed to test the model that the biotas of oceanic hotspot archipelagos diversify in parallel with the formation of the islands on which they live.
Genetic relationships of Amaurobioides (Anyphaenidae) spiders from the southeastern coast of New Zealand
- Biology

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
- BiologyInvertebrate Systematics
- 2013
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.

Evidence for Miocene overwater colonization in Caribbean Cyrtognatha spiders
- Biology, Environmental SciencebioRxiv
- 2018
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.
Molecular insights into the phylogenetic structure of the spider genus Theridion (Araneae, Theridiidae) and the origin of the Hawaiian Theridion‐like fauna
- Biology
- 2007
Results indicate that the Hawaiian Islands were colonised by two independent Theridiinae lineages, one of which originated in the Americas and both lineages have undergone local diversification in the archipelago and have convergently evolved similar bizarre morphs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The continental sister group of Polynesian Bidens appears to be a group of Latin American herbaceous species with determinate growth in section Psilocarpaea rather than the indeterminate woody vines of section Greenmania, which suggests that woodiness and indeterminates growth are apomorphic in Polynesia Bidens.
