摘要: The year 2010 marks the 175th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s visit to Galapagos Islands. A recent paper by J. C. Briggs, ‘Darwin’s biogeography’ (Journal Biogeography, 2009, 36, 1011–1017), summarizes contributions field biogeography, stressing importance his natural history specimens. Here, we illustrate how a plant collected Darwin during Floreana and not since can provide insights into dispersal oceanic islands as well extinction island plants, based on ancient DNA from herbarium specimen.
