How has the biogeography of Gondwanan mammal clades varied across deep time?

Abstract:

My thesis concerns the changing biogeography of terrestrial therian mammals in South America, Antarctica and Australia, focussing on the Palaeogene Period [66-23.03 Ma] to the present day. During much of the Palaeogene, South America and Australia were joined to Antarctica to form the supercontinent Gondwana, with dispersal opportunities between these continents likely resulting in the present-day geographical distributions of different Gondwanan therian clades. Across three data chapters, I ...
