Synopsis Studies of the Papuan region have provided fundamental insights into evolutionary processes generating its exceptional biodiversity, but influence geological merits further study. Lying at junction five tectonic plates, this has experienced a turbulent history that not only produced towering mountains allowing elevational specialization and island archipelagos with varying degrees isolation promoting vicariance, also active margins where land masses collided been subsequently rifted...

A bstract Studies of the Papuan region have provided fundamental insights into both evolutionary processes generating its exceptional biodiversity, as well support for alternative hypotheses geological history. Lying at junction five tectonic plates, this has experienced a turbulent history that not only produced towering mountains allowing elevational specialization, and island archipelagos varying distance promoting vicariance, but also active margins where land masses collided been...
