Abstract
Track analysis draws lines between geographically separated groups of related organisms. A track poses questions as to why those related species are disjunct and why they are found in their present location. When several tracks are superimposed, it suggests that there may be a common underlying explanation. The explanations may involve geological or other hypotheses that are of profound interest to evolutionary, cladistic, geological, climatic, and other analyses. Atlases of tracks provide a gold mine of profound questions leading to interesting answers about the origin, evolution, and composition of global biodiversity. John Grehan is particularly interested in the integration of historical biogeography and biodiversity, and has promoted the development of a biogeographic Atlas of Biodiversity. He also works on the biogeography, evolution, and systematics of ghost moths (Hepialidae).
