Placing populations and their attributes into a geographic context is currently the thing to do. Partly this may be because mapping has been revolutionized by geographic information systems (GIS) technology and the increasing power of desktop computers. Also, molecular data now allow inference of monophyla that are worth mapping; and for population-level analyses, there is phylogeography (), a statistically rigorous way of overlaying geography onto an estimated gene tree to measure the strength of geography/phylogeny associations.
Age estimation from molecular sequences has emerged as another powerful new tool. With access to absolute times, evolution can be linked to geological events and, for the first time, the most recent arrival of a lineage in an area can be estimated, which is different from the information gained from fossils. Inferring the historical assembly of ecological communities via the comparison of multiple dated phylogenies is a recent outgrowth of this ability (; ). Lastly, the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution (), although hardly full-fledged (), may have added further to the excitement about the geographic context of evolution and adaptation. This new edition of Biogeography by Mark V. Lomolino, Brett R. Riddle, and James H.

Brown thus comes at an opportune time. The first edition of Biogeography by Brown and Arthur C. Gibson was published in 1983, the second edition, by Brown and Lomolino, 15 years later in 1998, and the third a mere 6 years later in 2005.
This is not just a textbook—it is the most comprehensive text and general reference book in the field, now with a 50-page long bibliography that cites over 1000 sources published between 1820 and 2004. There are 18 chapters, grouped into six units, and 447 black-and-white illustrations, mostly graphs and maps, but also a few wonderful photos of people and landscapes. Unit 1, focusing on the history of biogeography, has hardly changed from the previous editions, and ends with the role of null hypotheses in studies of community assembly. Unit 2 includes chapters on the physical setting (solar radiation, winds, rainfall, soils, aquatic environments, oceans), the factors covering distributions of single species and those that may govern the geography of communities. As expected, there are brief descriptions of all major biomes.
Unit 3, “Earth History and Fundamental Biogeographic Processes,” has a chapter on dispersal (focusing on autecology and with only 19 post-1998 references), and one on speciation and extinction. The latter includes discussions of species concepts, micro- and macroevolution, and modes of speciation. This year's astonishing discovery of a case of sympatric speciation in palms on an oceanic island () unfortunately could not yet be included. In an idiosyncratic choice, Unit 3 has the geological time scale, continental drift, and Pleistocene glaciations (Chapters 8 and 9) following speciation and extinction (Chapter 7). Many of the paleodistribution maps are new, and the text of all four chapters has been much updated. For teaching purposes, the Northern Hemisphere responses to the Pleistocene climatic cycles are the ideal basis for a discussion of global warming, and the book's bias towards its largest market is nowhere more evident than in this chapter, which contains a single figure illustrating Pleistocene changes outside the Americas (p. Unit 4, “Evolutionary History of Lineages and Biotas,” comprises chapters on endemism and biogeographic regions, on reconstructing the history of lineages and that of biotas.
The last two are the contribution of the new coauthor of Biogeography, Brett Riddle, whose research focuses on the phylogeography of Great Basin montane island biota and molecular systematics of North American rodents. He has done an excellent job of explaining the relevant basic concepts, such as phylogenetic inference, properties of molecular characters, construction and interpretation of haplotype networks, and molecular clocks.
The sections explaining the role of fossils in biogeography are all new, and very good. Cfx Manager Software Update. By comparison with another recently revised text, Cox and Moore's Biogeography (cf. The review by ), Lomolino et al. Provide much more information about methods, such as reconciling trees, dispersal-vicariance analysis and Brooks parsimony analysis, always pointing the reader to appropriate original literature. Unit 5 turns to ecological biogeography, and comprises two chapters on island biogeography—Brown and Lomolino are important contributors to the current nonequilibrium view of island biota—and a chapter on diversity gradients and macroecology from the keyboard of Brown. This chapter pays tribute to historical explanations of diversity, even if the exposition is strangely a historical.
