Actually, apart from the title, the word panbiogeography hardly appears
(twice in the conclusions), and the word track never appears. So its
relevance is obscure.

I struggled to believe after failing to concur with the author's Method
statement that 'It was observed that the lizard disjunction in New
Caledonia (Fig. 1A) follows a major geological structure, the sillon or
furow.'  And the word 'follow' just doesn't hack it as a useful technical
term.
