• Directional asymmetry of long‐distance dispersal and colonization could mislead reconstructions of biogeography (2005, background): “Wind and ocean currents are probably the two major abiotic processes that might lead to congruent LDDC patterns across multiple taxa (e.g. Raven, 1973; Wardle, 1978; Gaines et al., 2003; McDowall, 2004; Muñoz et al., 2004).”
• Inferring dispersal: a Bayesian approach to phylogeny‐based island biogeography, with special reference to the Canary Islands (2008, background): “This situation contrasts with the increasing interest among biogeographers for the development of methods of biogeographical inference that give dispersal primacy over vicariance in explaining general biogeographical patterns (McDowall, 2004; de Queiroz, 2005; Riddle, 2005; Cowie & Holland, 2006).”
• Has Vicariance or Dispersal Been the Predominant Biogeographic Force in Madagascar? Only Time Will Tell (2006, background): “Numerous studies published within the past few years reveal case after case wherein biotic distributions can only be explained via hypotheses of dispersal (Cook & Crisp 2005, de Queiroz 2005, McDowall 2004, McGlone 2005).”
• Hello New Zealand (2006, background): “As a result, attention has focused on distribution patterns rather than exploration of alternative causal processes for the origin of New Zealand’s native biota (McDowall, 2004).”
• Ecological correlates of dispersal distance in terrestrial mammals (2013, background): “Dispersal behaviour plays a determinant role in a number of ecological processes and is considered a key element in biogeography (McDowall, 2004) and conservation biology (Macdonald and Johnson, 2001).”
• Towards a panbiogeography of the seas (2005, background): “McDowall (2004) responded that ‘Interestingly, Ebach & Humphries (2003) do not seem to invest much effort in vicariance theories for the biogeography of albatrosses or oceanic sharks.”
• Towards a generalized biogeography of the Southern Ocean benthos (2009, background): “McDowall (2004) suggests that, like the region, the biota of New Zealand has a highly complex origin, including both the vicariant speciation of an ancient Gondwanan fauna and the more recent dispersal from neighbouring Australia.”
• Driven by the West Wind Drift? A synthesis of southern temperate marine biogeography, with new directions for dispersalism (2008, background): “(McDowall, 2004).”
