It seems entirely plausible that both African and Eurasian species could have expanded their ranges into Arabia, promoting intercontinental dispersal. A lengthy look at climate and its role in ...

This phenomenon, called hydrochory, allows species to cross otherwise hostile regions. Rivers thus become "highways" for biodiversity. This dispersal ... of successful colonization, spread over ...

They then mapped where each species is found, allowing them to examine patterns of movement between the Amazon and Atlantic rainforests. They found 16–20 "dispersal events" when species arrived ...
