| sea-level changes and palaeo-ranges: reconstruction of ancient shorelines and river drainages and the phylogeography of the australian land crayfish engaeus sericatus clark (decapoda: parastacidae). | historical sea levels have been influential in shaping the phylogeography of freshwater-limited taxa via palaeodrainage and palaeoshoreline connections. in this study, we demonstrate an approach to phylogeographic analysis incorporating historical sea-level information in a nested clade phylogeographic analysis (ncpa) framework, using burrowing freshwater crayfish as the model organism. our study area focuses on the bass strait region of southeastern australia, which is marine region encompassin ... | 2008 | 19120999 |
