Assembly and division of the South and South-East Asian flora in relation to tectonics and climate change (2018, background): “New early Eocene vertebrate assemblage from western India reveals a mixed fauna of European and Gondwana affinities.”
Clades, Clocks, and Continents: Historical and Biogeographical Analysis of Myrtaceae, Vochysiaceae, and Relatives in the Southern Hemisphere (2004, background): “…from multiple species have accumulated over the last decades, it has become apparent that a molecular clock is not fully supported in general (Britten 1986; Gillespie 1986; Li 1997; Wray 2001; Smith and Peterson 2002) or specifically in angiosperms (Wilson et al. 1990; Bosquet et al. 1992;…”
The Phylogeny of Ceratosauria (Dinosauria: Theropoda) (2008, background): “…difficult to imagine the Lameta Formation including more than two co-existing abelisaurid taxa, particularly given the relatively small size of the Indian subcontinent, which was probably either isolated during the Maastrichtian or connected only to Madagascar (Scotese 2001; but see Briggs 2003).”
The role of molecular genetics in sculpting the future of integrative biogeography (2008, background): “Shortly after separating from Laurasia, rifting between Western Gondwana (Africa plus South America) and Eastern Gondwana (Madagascar plus India, Antarctica, and Australia) commenced (Briggs, 2003) as evidenced by the vast outpourings of the Karoo volcanics (182 +/- 1 Ma; de Wit, 2003).”
Has Vicariance or Dispersal Been the Predominant Biogeographic Force in Madagascar? Only Time Will Tell (2006, background): “…toward its ultimate collision with Asia in the earliest Eocene (Beck et al. 1995, Zhu et al. 2005) (Figure 1f ), others argue that India’s lack of a significantly endemic biota indicate that it must have remained within close proximity to other landmasses during its journey (Briggs 1989, 2003).”
Out of the Palaeotropics? Historical biogeography and diversification of the cosmopolitan ectomycorrhizal mushroom family Inocybaceae (2009, result): “…(Inocybe sp. ZT8944) and three African taxa 64 (40–93) Ma, a result consistent with vicariance between India and Africa per Raven (1979), but not entirely inconsistent with the hypothesis that exchanges between India and Africa (and Madagascar) occurred during the late Cretaceous (Briggs, 2003).”
