Indonesia · Across the deep-water straits
Sulawesi
A central island group in the Wallacean transition.
Landscape & scope
An island-specific view.
Deep-water straits separate Wallacea from the Asian and Australian continental shelves. That long history of separation makes island-level evidence especially useful when reading eastern Indonesian distributions.
Included here
Sulawesi and associated islands, including Buton, Selayar, Togian, Sangihe and Talaud.
