Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biogeography has a capital role in evolutionary biology. This discipline also has an important role to play in the discovery and conservation of biodiversity and is essential in creating small- and large-scale patterns of species’ responses to global environmental change.
The recent development of the biogeographic methodology and the integration of biogeography with various data sources associated with the expansion of new statistical methods and, at the same time, the important advances in the fields of molecular dating, have provided some ideas of great relevance on the patterns of species diversification through time and space, as well as the progress of new methods to estimate speciation and extinction rates from phylogenetic data.
This Special Edition is open to articles on taxonomy and phylogeny of angiosperms, with special interest in aquatic ones, which have an impact in the field of biogeography.
