New twist to a fantastical distribution: Fiji-Tonga iguanas.
Over-water 'rafting' accounts for much of the biota on the 'oceanic' islands. Arguably, the most spectacular example concerns the iguanas on Fiji and Tonga. Scarpetta et al. have recently provided compelling evidence for them originating in western North America, with their trans-oceanic dispersal occurring within the past 33 million years.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE) is a comprehensive journal featuring polished, concise, and readable reviews, opinions, and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. Catering to researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers, and students, it serves as a valuable source of information. The journal keeps scientists informed about new developments and ideas across the spectrum of ecology and evolutionary biology, spanning from pure to applied and molecular to global perspectives. In the face of global environmental change, Trends in Ecology & Evolution plays a crucial role in covering all significant issues concerning organisms and their environments, making it a major forum for life scientists.
