Fossil-calibrated phylogenies of Southern cave wētā show dispersal and extinction confound biogeographic signal

The biota of continents and islands are commonly considered to have a source–sink relationship, but small islands can harbour distinctive taxa. The distribution of four monotypic genera of Orthoptera on young subantarctic islands indicates a role for long-distance dispersal and extinction. Phylogene...
