Landscape Boundaries: Consequences for Biotic Diversity and Ecological Flows
The emergence of panorama ecology through the Eighties represents an impor tant maturation of ecological thought. as soon as enamored with the conceptual fantastic thing about well-balanced, homogeneous ecosystems, ecologists now assert that a lot of the essence of ecological platforms lies of their lumpiness. Patches with differing homes and behaviors lie strewn around the land scape, items of the complicated interactions of weather, disturbance, and biotic tactics.

4 to 9 Ma. There is a paucity of dated phylogenetic studies for plants characteristic of Caribbean island SDTF. The one exception is work on the legumes Pictetia, Poitea and Hebestigma (Lavin et al. 2001, 2003, 2004). All species of these genera with a single exception are endemic to the Greater Antilles. They are shown to have diverged from their continental sister genera 38 Ma (Hebestigma), 16 Ma (Poitea) and 14 Ma (Pictetia), and the diversification in each occurred during the Tertiary. Each is therefore a relatively old radiation, and in the case of the Cuban endemic Hebestigma, the divergence date from its sister genus Lennea strongly implies that the vicariance of Cuba from Central America underlies its distribution.
We should caution, however, that the models used do not incorporate edaphic variables, which must be important as SDTF species, particularly A. urundeuva, tend to prefer more fertile soils than those underlying most of the terra firme (nonflooded) Amazonian forest. 4 Molecular Biogeographical Evidence: (i) Dated Phylogenies An equation of high species endemism with antiquity might not be correct if the species diversity of SDTF were the result of recent speciation. Pleistocene origin of SDTF species was suggested by Pennington et al.
