Global biogeographic structuring of tropical shallow-water brittle stars

Global biogeographic structuring of tropical shallow-water brittle stars

Aim Biogeographic barriers emerged in the tropical oceans as continental masses moved with plate tectonics, and as the tropics contracted to lower latitudes from the late Eocene. These barriers have shaped tropical marine biodiversity. We characterize large‐scale diversity patterns for tropical brit...

Zusammenfassung:Aim Biogeographic barriers emerged in the tropical oceans as continental masses moved with plate tectonics, and as the tropics contracted to lower latitudes from the late Eocene. These barriers have shaped tropical marine biodiversity. We characterize large‐scale diversity patterns for tropical brittle stars and investigate the effect of biogeographic barriers on these in space and time. Location Shallow‐water (
