Establishing the cladistic biogeographic method How to do cladistic biogeography (or how to start reforming) Reform and the three phases of biogeography Chapter 2: Biogeography Comes to Australasia Biological classification and biogeography: a condensed history The two area classifications: the triumph of Humboldt's plant geography Australian biogeography: flora, fauna, elements and biomes The need for testable hypotheses Chapter 3: Carving up Australasia: The Quest for Natural Biogeographic Regions Is New Zealand a zoological region? Are Australia's regions artificial? Reinvention thesis and bioregionalization Chapter 4: The Spectre of Cladism: Cladistics in the Land of Oz The cladistics war Early Australasian practitioners and critics of numerical cladistics Transformed cladistics in the Land of Oz Cladistics in Australian palaeontology Chapter 5: A New Biogeography: The Panbiogeography Revolt in New Zealand Panbiogeography: Earth and life evolving together The development of panbiogeography in New Zealand (1978-1989) Panbiogeography and its reformation Chapter 6: Goodbye Gondwana: The drowning of Zealandia and the Rise of Neodispersalism New Zealand: archipelago, island continent or oceanic island? The New Zealand drowning hypothesis: towards an integrative biogeography Integrative biogeography: an undisciplined discipline? Chapter 7: All Possible Futures Entering the analytical phase: testing the link between evidence and hypothesis Extending Ball's criteria: invasions, drowning and neodispersalism Towards the analytical phase and biogeographic discovery A future of Australasian biogeography ending the cycle of reinvention Framing biogeographic problems using the taxonomy analogy Glossary Endnotes References Index
Synopsis
Biogeography, the study of the distribution of life on Earth, has undergone more conceptual changes, revolutions and turf wars than any other scientific field. Australasian biogeographers are responsible for several of these great upheavals, including debates on cladistics, panbiogeography and the drowning of New Zealand, some of which have significantly shaped present-day studies. Australasian biogeography has been caught in a cycle of reinvention that has lasted for over 150 years. The biogeographic research making headlines today is merely a shadow of past practices, having barely advanced scientifically. Fundamental biogeographic questions raised by naturalists a century ago remain unanswered, yet are as relevant today as they were then. Scientists still do not know whether Australia and New Zealand are natural biotic areas or if they are in fact artificial amalgamations of areas. The same question goes for all biotic areas in Australasia: are they real? Reinvention of Australasian Biogeography tells the story of the history of Australasian biogeography, enabling understanding of the cycle of reinvention and the means by which to break it, and paves the way for future biogeographical research. The book will be a valuable resource for biological and geographical scientists, especially those working in biogeography, biodiversity, ecology and conservation. It will also be of interest to historians of science., Biogeography, the study of the distribution of life on Earth, has undergone more conceptual changes, revolutions and turf wars than any other scientific field. Australasian biogeographers are responsible for several of these great upheavals, including debates on cladistics, panbiogeography and the drowning of New Zealand, some of which have significantly shaped present-day studies.
