Exploring the combined role of eustasy and oceanic island thermal subsidence in shaping biodiversity on the Galápagos

Aim We constructed a series of high‐resolution palaeogeographical models for the Galápagos archipelago for the last 700 kyr, accommodating thermal subsidence of the islands, eustatic sea‐level change, and associated sea‐floor loading. We assessed the possible impacts of these changes for the terrestrial fauna. Location The Galápagos Islands. Methods Palaeogeographical modelling and evaluation of biogeographical distributions. Results Since 700...
