I hope to have time the summer to spell out all of the details so that there is no confusion over what I am trying to get in communication with panbiogeographers with/over.<BR/><BR/>It is odd that Grehan and or Ebach have kept me from posting on their discussion list. They have not told me why.<BR/><BR/>It may be however that I AM correct and this may explain why Page moved away from Panbiog to more mainline pursuits. The MST seems a bit too contrived to be precisely what Croizat had in mind, fully. But I can not disuade myself from finding that MSTs can not be used when ordinating collection localities TO or AWAY from proposed water/land boundaries over the face of the globe. Morrone's recent use of the baseline concept within the mainland shows how difficult it is to out live panbiogeography.<BR/><BR/>There is no doubt that high-tech is going to bring panbiogeography up against so-called standard evolutionary theory, but seeing how Gould frames geographic range in his "Structure of Evolutionary Theory" book there are still some "juices" to be stewed as Leon wrote on, about Stephen Gould.<BR/><BR/>Brad McFallBrad McFallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05435667819382158485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081779.post-29719849361451937062007-06-07T15:09:00.000+01:002007-06-07T15:09:00.000+01:00Sad to see you labeled yourself as "WAS " once a p...Sad to see you labeled yourself as "WAS " once a panbiogeography enthusiast. Well, maybe it is the washbrain of molecular enthusiasts. Hope one day you can open up your eyes to the REAL future. We really admire you ... at once.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Mr. LoRtZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783924021588503754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081779.post-72748026528508415512007-06-07T05:39:00.000+01:002007-06-07T05:39:00.000+01:00As of your comment on the use of Google Earth to d...As of your comment on the use of Google Earth to display panbiogeographic tracks, surely this idea would be welcome, provided the necessary tool for computing minimum-spanning trees and representing them in the required format is available. <BR/><BR/>And just as an aside, <B>Panbiogeography is alive and quicking</B> - see the continuous flow of publications by John Grehan, Michael Heads (both your former colleagues in NZ), Juan Morrone, and others (myself included), in the <I>Journal of Biogeography</I> and elsewhere. <BR/><BR/>Grehan, Morrone, and Malte Ebach manage a discussion list on Biogeography (in general), as well as an electronic bulletin (<I>Biogeografia</I>) where there are frequent discussions of the panbiogeographic method and synthesis. The list and the bulletin can be reached at http://www.sebasite.org/.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081779.post-1148981746342026852006-05-30T10:35:00.000+01:002006-05-30T10:35:00.000+01:00What an excellent idea... will be really useful fo...What an excellent idea... will be really useful for studies of human population history.
