Symposium on Phylogeny and Biogeography of Hawaiian Terrestrial Biota; Honolulu, HI; August, 1992

夏威夷生物群物种形成和生物地理模式专题讨论会的每个与会者将对他们的数据应用系统学方法，产生关于关系和生物地理的假说。使用一致的方法将允许直接对比不同群体的辐射模式。探测到的模式可以用来探索该群体的适应性辐射和生态。广泛的生物(昆虫、蜘蛛、鸟类、双子叶开花植物)将被用来测试岛屿物种形成和生物地理的想法。这将是第一次对夏威夷生物(除了众所周知的夏威夷果蝇)进行详细的生物地理分析。最后，这项努力是第一次尝试测试夏威夷生物体的独立谱系表现出与该群岛独特的地质直接相关的类似殖民和分化模式的想法。

Each participant in the symposium on patterns of speciation and biogeography of the Hawaiian biota will apply phylogenetic methods to their data, generating hypotheses of relationships and biogeography. Using a consistent methodology will allow patterns of radiation for the different groups to be directly contrasted. Detected patterns can be used to explore adaptive radiation and ecology of that group. A broad spectrum of organisms (insects, spiders, birds, dicot flowering plants) will be used to test ideas of island speciation and biogeography. These will be the first detailed biogeographical analyses for Hawaiian organisms (other than the well known Hawaiian Drosophila). Finally, this effort represents the first attempt to test the idea that independent lineages of Hawaiian organisms exhibit similar patters of colonization and differentiation directly related to the unique geological of this archipelago.
