[Taxacom] Geophylogeny

[Richard Zander]

Seems to me there are lots of evolutionary discussions about allopatry
and sympatry, and geography, including the concept of niche (remember
niche?), is an integral element in standard evolutionary theory as well
as panbiogeography. The ecological species concept is built, in part, on
niche, which is part geography.
