历史生物地理学的进展

Advances in Historical Biogeography: a Brief Perspective

摘要:

近年来历史生物地理学的进展主要是隔离分化学派的进展。对隔离分化学派的几个分支学派,特别是分支生物地理学和泛生物地理学在理论和方法方面的进展作了简要回顾和介绍。最近十年来分子手段广泛应用于历史生物地理学研究的各个方面,尤其是谱系生物地理学的快速崛起是历史生物地理学的一个明显特征。对本学科的发展做了初步的展望。

Abstract:

The theoretical and technical updates of several research programs of vicarism historical biogeography (here as a counterpart of dispersalism historical biogeography), especially the cladistic biogeography and panbiogeography are briefly reviewed. The routinely use of molecular techniques in a broad field of historical biogeographical studies, and the rapid recognition of the theoretical and technical aspects of the phylogeography, have been the most remarkable characteristics in historical biogeography in the last decade. A prospect for the science is also briefly depicted.
