[Taxacom] Post-doctoral vacancy at RBGE: Conserving the Flora of Socotra

[John Grehan]

A nice example of potential integration of evolution into conservation for
Socotra may be provided in the biogeography of a clade of freshwater crabs
where a gondwanan clade (Poamonautidae - Africa, Madagascar and Seychelles
+ Gecarinucidae - India to McPherson-Macleay Overlap) and a Tethyan clade
(Poamidae - Borneo to Gibraltar,  including Socotra where the gondwanic
clade is absent. See Heads "Biogeography of Australasia."
