Molecular evidence for an old world origin of Galapagos and Caribbean band-winged grasshoppers (Acrididae: Oedipodinae: Sphingonotus).
Patterns of colonization and diversification on islands provide valuable insights Hall or Caged Light into evolutionary processes.Due to their unique geographic position and well known history, the Galapagos Islands are an important model system for evolutionary studies.Here we investigate the evolutionary history of a winged grasshopper genus to i
