Molecular phylogeny, classification, and biogeography of snakes of the Family Leptotyphlopidae (Reptilia, Squamata) (2009, background): “…division that has been recorded in reconstructions of the paleogeographic history of Africa, and was in large part affected by high sea levels in the mid-Cretaceous (Ali & Aitchison 2008; Cox & Moore 2005; Hallam 1994; Nishihara et al. 2009; Reyment & Dingle 1987; Scotese 2009; Smith et al. 1994).”
Evolutionary and biogeographical history of an ancient and global group of arachnids (Arachnida: Opiliones: Cyphophthalmi) with a new taxonomic arrangement (2012, background): “Several lineages may have returned to the Thai-Malay Peninsula or moved between islands around the Cretaceous/ Tertiary boundary during a period in which south-east Asia was subjected to drastic changes and the Indo-Malay Archipelago variously connected (Hall, 2002; Ali & Aitchison, 2008).”
Early evolutionary history of the flowering plant family Annonaceae: steady diversification and boreotropical geodispersal (2011, unknown): “2), which post-dates the collision of the Indian plate with the Asian continent c. 35 Ma (Ali & Aitchison, 2008).”
Late Cretaceous bioconnections between Indo‐Madagascar and Antarctica: refutation of the Gunnerus Ridge causeway hypothesis (2011, background): “Knowledge that physical connections between Indo-Madagascar and the rest of Gondwana were severed in the middle Aptian (Ali & Aitchison, 2008; this paper), and that the palaeogeographical model of Hay et al. (1999) and Case (2002) are flawed in these respects, necessitates a rethinking of previous…”
Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. II. Diversification history and origin of regional assemblages (2013, background): “However, the rapid latitudinal change in India’s position during the Early Cretaceous until collision with Eurasia some 35 Ma (Ali & Aitchison, 2008) is thought to have led to the extinction of numerous lineages (Morley, 2000) including palms.”
‘Out‐of‐Africa’ dispersal of tropical floras during the Miocene climatic optimum: evidence from Uvaria (Annonaceae) (2012, background): “Ali & Aitchison (2008) proposed the existence of a palaeogeographic connection between Madagascar and India in the Late Cretaceous (85–65 Ma) via the Seychelles–Mascarene Plateau, which was exposed due to the sea-floor elevation; this connection was extended into the Palaeocene due to the…”
