    J Evol Biol 21:421-34. 2008
    ..Here, I review the recent integration of GIS and GIS-based predictive niche models into the above evolutionary sub-disciplines. I also describe evolutionary analyses that could be further enhanced through the implementation of GIS...

    N G Swenson
    Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA
    J Evol Biol 19:717-25. 2006
