Meeting Abstract 16.6 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Upstream colonization of Australasia by Neotropical Opiliones (Arachnida) SHARMA, P.P.*; GIRIBET, G.; Harvard University; Harvard University psharma@fas.harvard.edu The species richness and endemism of the Southwest Pacific are traditionally held to result from dispersal from Australasian continental landmasses (e.g., Australia, New Guinea, Southeast Asia), in concert with prolonged isolation. In the present […]
