Recent phylogeographic studies have overturned three paradigms for the origins of marine biodiversity.
(i) Physical (allopatric) isolation is not the sole avenue for marine speciation: many species diverge along ecological
boundaries. (ii) Peripheral habitats such as oceanic archipelagos are not evolutionary graveyards: these regions can export biodiversity. (iii) Speciation in marine and terrestrial ecosystems follow similar processes but are not the same: opportunities for allopatric isolation are fewer in the oceans, leaving greater opportunity for
speciation along ecological boundaries. Biodiversity hotspots
such as the Caribbean Sea and the Indo-Pacific Coral Triangle produce and export species, but can also
accumulate biodiversity produced in peripheral habitats. Both hotspots and peripheral ecosystems benefit from
this exchange in a process dubbed biodiversity feedback.
