Molecular systematics of the cashew family (Anacardiaceae) (2004, background): “This is consistent with studies of other organisms that found similar evidence for one or more dispersal events between Africa and Madagascar (i.e. Begonia: Plana, 2003; carnivores: Yoder et al., 2003; cichlids: Murray, 2001; primates: Yoder, 1996; Wolfiella: Kimball et al., 2003).”
Has Vicariance or Dispersal Been the Predominant Biogeographic Force in Madagascar? Only Time Will Tell (2006, background): “As potentially decisive support for the dispersal hypotheses, divergence ages for the Malagasy lineages are shown to be far too recent to be compatible with ancient vicariance (Murray 2001, Vences et al. 2001).”
The biogeography of lower Mesoamerican freshwater fishes (2005, background): “…fossil records of cichlids in South America in the Miocene strongly suggest that cichlids migrated from Africa to South America across the South Atlantic via the South Equatorial Current (Murray, 2001), providing biogeographical evidence that cichlids are capable of crossing marine barriers.”
