Pacific Plate biogeography, with special reference to shorefishes

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.
