| glacial oceanographic contrasts explain phylogeography of australian bull kelp. | the evolutionary effects of southern hemisphere pleistocene oceanographic conditions - marked by fluctuations in sea levels and water temperatures, and redirected currents - are poorly understood. the southeastern tip of australia presents an intriguing model system for studying the biological impacts of palaeoceanography. in particular, contrasting oceanographic conditions that existed on eastern vs. western sides of the bassian isthmus during pleistocene glacial periods allow for natural compa ... | 2009 | 19389161 |
