[Wikipedia] Extensive Range: This species is notable for its extremely wide distribution, which it achieved only over the last 2 million years (from its region of origin in Australia) via oceanic dispersal. Harrington and Gadek (2009) referred to D. viscosa as having "a distribution equal to some of the world?s greatest transoceanic dispersers". (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
