Within the Australian continent, glacial cycles were not 25 associated with changes in ice cover and instead largely resulted in fluctuations from 26 moist to arid conditions across the landscape. Here, we investigate the role of 27 hydrological and coastal topographic changes brought about by Plio-Pleistocene 28 climatic changes on the biogeographic history of a small Australian freshwater fish, 29 the southern pygmy perch Nannoperca australis.
