  Phylogeography : The History and Formation of Species by John C. Avise
Phylogeography, a textbook based on a combining of the empirical and conceptual fields of phylogenetic biology and population genetics, is not for everyone.
Phylogeography is a field of study concerned with the principles and processes governing the geographic distributions of genealogical lineages.
Phylogeography captures the conceptual and empirical richness of the field, and also the sense of genuine innovation that phylogeographic perspectives have brought to evolutionary studies.

Phylogeography is the study of the processes controlling the geographic distributions of lineages by constructing the genealogies of populations and genes.
Two developments during the 1960s and 1970s were particularly important in laying the groundwork for modern phylogeography; the first was the spread of cladistic thought, and the second was the development of plate tectonics theory.
Phylogeography is a useful tool in understanding the origins and distributions of different viral strains.

The word "phylogeography" was coined in 1987, and since then the scientific literature has reflected an exploding interest in the topic.
The study of phylogeography grew out of the observation that mitochondrial DNA lineages in natural populations often display distinct geographic orientations.

 American Zoologist: Phylogeography: The History and Formation of Species
Phylogeography combines information from population genetics, phylogenetics, geoclimatic history, paleontology, population biology, molecular evolution, and historical biogeography in order to characterize the geographic distributions of genealogical lineages across the geographic landscape (referred to as phylogeographic patterns), and to infer the evolutionary, demographic and biogeographic processes that have shaped these patterns.
Throughout Phylogeography: The History and Formation of Species there is a bias towards multicellular animals, as Avise acknowledges in the preface (this reflects a bias in existing empirical phylogeographic studies, rather than that of the author).
Although researchers deeply entrenched in phylogeography are unlikely to find a great deal of novel material, they too should find the book quite valuable as a general reference or as a text for a course or seminar in phylogeography.

Population biologist use "phylogeography" to describe their study of population structure by looking at reticulating populations and their haplotype distributions and gene flow.

 Phylogeography
Recent approaches have taken a stronger statistical approach to phylogeography that was done initially.
A comparative phylogenetic approach in the Australian Wet Tropics indicates that regional patterns of species distribution and diversity are largely determined by local extinctions and subsequent recolonizations corresponding to climatic cycles.
Phylogeography has also proven to be useful in understanding the origin and dispersal patterns of our own species, Homo sapiens.

Phylogeography is the study of patterns of genetic variation within, between, and among populations distributed across geographic space.
In addition to the obvious implications of phylogeography for the field of evolutionary biology, it also has important practical applications to conservation biology.
In particular, the analysis of DNA sequences that is becoming an integral tool in phylogeography can help to identify evolutionarily significant units (ESUs).

Many of the preceding genetic applications focus on the distribution of genetic diversity within and among populations and derive from the field of population genetics.
Comparative phylogeography requires an examination of the geographic and temporal distribution of evolutionary lineages of unrelated taxa that share similar geographic ranges (Avise 2000).
Regions that contain geographically circumscribed ESUs for a range of taxa (distinct from other such regions) may be considered phylogeographic "hotspots." Avise (1996) raises the prospect of biogeographic reserves that conserve distinct phyogeographic populations segments across a range of species.

 EVOLUTION: ON PHYLOGEOGRAPHY
1) Phylogeography [1] is a young and fast-growing field that analyses the geographical distribution of genealogical lineages.
It grew out of the new techniques of the 1980s that made it possible to determine DNA sequence variation from individuals across a species range, and hence to reconstruct gene genealogies.
Today, a range of DNA techniques, combined with new analytical methods and recent palaeoclimatic and geological studies are providing important insight into the distribution of genetic diversity around the globe, and how it evolved.
