“…Understanding the distribution dynamics of taxa is crucial, especially when biogeography is used in tandem with conservation projects, such as uncovering invasive species, monitoring biodiversity loss or directing efforts in ecological and/or species restoration 93 . Geogenomics is an emerging field that uses large-scale sequencing data to discern biogeographical patterns via genetic information 94 . The field of geogeonomics faces challenges in heterogeneous habitats, where high numbers of ecological interactions require interdisciplinary expertise to unravel the complex biogeography within 95 .…”

Approximately 1.8 million metric tonnes of honey are produced globally every year. The key source behind this output, the honey bee (Apis mellifera), works tirelessly to create the delicious condiment that is consumed worldwide. The honey that finds its way into jars on store shelves contains a myriad of information about its biogeographical origins, such as the bees that produced it, the botanical constituents, and traces of other organisms or pathogens that have come in contact with the product or its producer. With the ongoing threat of honey bee decline and overall global biodiversity loss, access to ecological information has become an key factor in preventing the loss of species. This review delves into the various molecular techniques developed to characterize the collective DNA harnessed within honey samples, and how it can be used to elucidate the ecological interactions between honey bees and the environment. We also explore how these DNA-based methods can be used for large-scale biogeographical studies through the environmental DNA collected by foraging honey bees. Further development of these techniques can assist in the conservation of biodiversity by detecting ecosystem perturbations, with the potential to be expanded towards other critical flying pollinators.

“…JBI became a popular venue for phylogeography during the 2000s, spurred by a rapid series of advances in genetic and computational methods and an eponymous very highly cited book (Avise, 2000). Phylogeography became the most substantial fraction of papers in JBI during the 2010s, mirroring its popularity more broadly (Figure 2c), though recent developments show phylogeography is ripe for rejuvenation (Dawson et al, 2022; McGaughran et al, 2022). The recent increase in JBI articles addressing functional biogeography and related areas in the last decade is particularly noteworthy, given the relatively recent origin of many of the concepts and approaches (Violle et al, 2014).…”

The first issue of Journal of Biogeography (JBI) was published by Blackwell Scientific in March 1974. Volume 1 summed to 279 pages over four issues, and its remit was broad-biology, geography, palaeontology, genetics, human modification of the environment, effects on biotic distributions, their medical relevance, and more (Watts, 1974). Although other journals carried some biogeographical papers (e.g. see Cowell & Parker, 2004), JBI remained the sole journal dedicated to publishing biogeography until the early 1990s when two sister titles-Biodiversity Letters and Global Ecology and Biogeography Letters-were created to accommodate growth in the field (Figure 1), the rise of global environmental concerns (Stott, 1991) and momentum captured in newly coined concepts such as 'biodiversity' (Stott, 1993). These sister journals metamorphosed into the now more familiar titles Diversity and Distributions (DDI) and Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) in the late 1990s to publish the burgeoning studies of, respectively, biological invasions (Richardson, 1998) and macroecology (Whittaker, 1999). Throughout, JBI continued to act as the most inclusive venue for biogeography, its content shifting through the years as the interests of authors and readers waxed and waned.The commitment to represent the full breadth of biogeography has remained a constant since (Linder, 2016;Whittaker, 2005), as has the commitment that JBI should be a journal about biogeography, by biogeographers, and for biogeographers both as authors and as readers (Linder, 2016).Changes in biogeographical journals also have reflected changes in publishing. JBI, for example, transitioned from its initial sub-A4sized format to A4 in 1989A4 in (Whittaker, 2014. The editorial introducing GEB also noted the adoption of email for handling reviews, encouraged authors to submit electronic versions of revised manuscripts 'by disk', and referred to the journal website as a key source of information; papers could be downloaded as PDF files, and HTML versions were on the immediate horizon (Whittaker, 1999). A halfdecade later, 'Online-Early' was imminent, allowing digital publication online before print issues and citation using the Digital Object Identifier (DOI); referral pathways, to transfer articles among sister journals, were starting to take shape (Whittaker, 2005). Around the same time, Online Supporting Information was enabled, which accompanied >80% of articles in JBI a decade later (Whittaker, 2014); the proportion for research articles is now >95%. Linder (2016) remarked on the emergence of data repositories, the surge of papers relying on 'recycled' data, and the need for recognition of data authors, deposition of new data, and policies for data access.

“…We characterized genomic variation in a model study system, leveraging the unique host‐web parasitism modes of kleptoparasitic spiders of Taiwan, the Ryukyu Island Chain, the Philippines, and Australia. The unusual natural history of our focal taxon allows us to test the prevalence, and evaluate the relative importance of historical biogeographic processes versus ecological factors, which may act variably on lineage diversification in the insular faunas of East Asian archipelagos using a geogenomic approach (Dawson et al., 2022).…”

AimWe assessed the population genetic structure of the kleptoparasitic spider Argyrodes bonadea across the Southwestern Pacific islands. Our aim is to evaluate the impact of overseas distances and, in particular, the Kerama gap, as potential drivers of genetic differentiation. If no relationship exists, then we assume dispersal following adaptive change as alternative non‐vicariant mechanism that generates divergence.LocationSouthwestern Pacific Islands.Taxon Argyrodes bonadea. MethodsWe used mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase 1 (CO1) gene sequences and Restriction Site‐associated DNA Sequencing (RAD‐seq) for our analyses.ResultsTwo strongly supported lineages, an Amami‐Okinawa Lineage (AOL) and an Austral‐Asia Lineage (AAL), correspond to two separate clades, roughly divided by the Kerama Gap, in phylogenetic trees estimated here. However, species delimitation led to the interpretation of only a single species present. The AOL exhibits complex, geographically structured host web spider species specificity, wherein the Amami population utilizes Cyrtophora, but AOL samples in Okinawa associate exclusively with Nephila—and yet all broadly distributed AAL populations show no evidence of host web spider species specificity.Main ConclusionThe population boundary between AOL and AAL likely results from local adaptation to novel hosts—instead of isolation by the Kerama Gap—following long‐distance dispersal and range expansion. Our results suggest kleptoparasitic spiders have the capacity to overcome permanent deep‐sea barriers and colonize distant landmasses. Whereas peripheral populations (AOL) demonstrate the capacity for specialization to a single host, which may have contributed to genetic differentiation and isolation, the broadly distributed AAL persists and has successfully expanded its geographical range as a host generalist, which may contribute to ongoing gene flow inferred in this study.
