Directional asymmetry of long-distance dispersal and colonization could mislead reconstructions of biogeography

Aim: Phylogenies are increasingly being used to attempt to answer biogeographical questions. However, a reliance on tree topology alone has emerged without consideration of earth processes or the biology of the organisms in question. Most ancestral-state
