This thesis provides a study about the Pacific lithospheric
plate that forms a major subunit of the Indo-Pacific biogeographic region.
This thesis is defended on two primary grounds: the sharp decrease in numbers of
taxa as one proceeds eastward across the western margin of the Pacific Plate,
and the presence of a high degree of endemism on the Plate.
