This kind of data is precisely what sharpens
panbiogeography'steeth.
A Modern perspective of an such alternative history is presented in
Biogeografía 2 It is odd that making sense of links between Madagascar and South America should still be rare. Part of the problem comes from the editing on getting the view, such, into the literature.
John Grehan had this to say
quote:
(about the most cited paper of Croizat)
I am pleased to announce that a transcribed copy of Croizat’s manuscript for the paper “On the ”Center of Origin’”, previous to the modified version co-authored by Gary Nelson and Donn Rosen, has now been posted on the web for general access.
Many years ago Michael Heads and I submitted the ms to Systematic Zoology for publication to allow this kind of comparison (in the days before the web) but it was rejected by the editor. The submission was revived and as one of the reviewers Gary Nelson did not object to publication. So with those caveats in mind the ms can be accessed directly at http://www.sciencebuff.org/ftp_only/croizat1974ms.pdf or via the link at Page not found - Buffalo Museum of Science
Videos on Croizat have been created in South America.
