Global biogeographic patterns in "higher landbirds"
Swedish Museum of Natural History, Sweden
Abstract
Despite their unique dispersal abilities major groups of birds do exhibit distributional patterns that often can be explained by large scale geological events, as plate tectonics. Here I will discuss the evolution and biogeography of major groups of "higher landbirds" and their allies based on an ancestral area analysis of this large clade of birds.
