From page 1...
... . For marine taxa more generally, a wide variety of phylogeographic outcomes implies the operation of other evolutionary processes as well, such as sympatric or ecological speciation in some cases, environmental effects from historically shifting climates, and the important role of organismal behavior and natural history in shaping current phylogeographic motifs.

From page 2...
... This study finds partial congruence in phylogeographic patterns that can be attributable to shared historical influences plus similarities in life history and environmental needs. However, the authors then go much further by embracing the close link between phylogeographic pattern and historical population demography to deduce that these taxa had species-specific population demographies in their recent past.

... , the simplified evolutionary arena of oceanic islands can reveal phylogeographic patterns that are obscured in a more complex continental setting.
