Analysis of intrinsic evolutionary factors leading to microendemic distributions in New Caledonian leaf beetles

Abstract Microendemicity, or the condition of some species having local ranges, is a relatively common pattern in nature. However, the factors that lead to this pattern are still largely unknown. Most studies addressing this issue tend to focus on extrinsic factors associated with microendemic distr...
