Not sure I follow the point, but thanks for the feedback. I'm don't see
the "Darwinian biogeographers" label at all problematic since the term
is well defined with respect to methodological principles outlined by
Darwin(of centers of origin and dispersal) and is no different to my
being referred to a panbiogeographer if I use the methodological
principles outlined by Croizat.
