AB -  Historical biogeography is going through an extraordinary revolution concern­ ing its foundations, basic concepts, methods, and relationships to other disci­ plines of comparative biology (35, 36). In the last two decades considerable progress has been due especially to the development of cladistic biogeography (48, 71,73, 120, 128, 133). Several quantitative methods have been proposed, and software is now available for applying most of them; however, confusion about methods has largely inhibited their application (100). On the other hand, most of the theoretical papers recently published on this subject are partisans of a particular method. For these reasons, we believe a critical review of the historical biiogeographic methods available would be useful. This pap�r is an introduction to historical biogeographic methods. We ex­ plain and ililustrate the most frequently used procedures, briefly discuss the theoretical background of each, enumerate representative empirical studies, and provide: information about relevant software. We also discuss an approach to integrate most of the methods as part of a single comprehensive analysis. COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY Metaphors are important components of any scientific paradigm, not only performing an explanatory function by bridging the gap between an abstract the paradigm (46).
