Abstract
Concludes that during the Oligocene and Miocene, ancestors of the Galapagos islands flora and fauna migrated across a land bridge which extended to within approximately one hundred miles of the islands and were transported over the remaining distance either by flotsam and jetsam on the ocean, by the wind, or by migratory birds.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
