Preface
Part 1: History and conceptual background

This section introduces the meaning and purview of
phylogeography, describes the history of the discipline
on both the empirical and theoretical sides, and
highlights novel perspectives that the field has
spawned. It concentrates in particular on the tight
connections between genealogy and population demography,
and the nonequilibrium (i.e., historical) nature of
population genetics.

Summary

Part 2: Empirical intraspecific phylogeography

Theories of lineage sorting and the coalescent indicate
that a great diversity of intraspecific phylogeographic
patterns might be anticipated as functions of species'
varied demographic histories. Empirical findings
(primarily from mt DNA assays) appear to have borne this
out. This section illustrates the wide assortment of
idiosyncratic phylogeographic patterns documented to
date. It asks whether general trends nontheless have
emerged that carry predictive power in relating
comparative phylogeographic patterns across taxa to
particular categories of natural history or
environmental circumstance.

Summary

Part 3: Genealogical concordance:
Toward speciation and beyond

Much of the effort of empirical phylogeography
summarized in Part 2 involved molecular examinations of
the genealogical histories of single genes (usually
mtDNA) in particular species, one at a time. The third
section of this book extends such approaches to multiple
genes, multiple codistributed species, and comparisons
with more traditional kinds of biogeographic data. Such
extensions into comparative phylogeography introduce
several distinct aspects of genealogical concordance
germane to evolutionary inference at the scale of
landscape history. Interpretations of phylogeographic
population structure at the interspecific level often
grade into broader issues of species concepts and
taxonomic assignments, so this concluding section also
addresses these issues in greater detail. In particular,
phylogeographic studies can be highly informative about
population demography, geography, and temporal
durations of the speciation process.
