Abstract

Abstract Throughout time, humans have moved across landscapes, traveling with plants and animals that were important and even critical for survival. In island environments, where many of these plant co-travelers were not able to self-disperse, the phylogeography and genetic relationships of these species can be used to infer the origins and interactions of the humans carrying them. This is the basis of the “commensal model.” This chapter describes considerations for designing a study using the commensal model, illustrated with examples of its application. Aspects of the settlement of the Pacific and the transported landscapes carried by Pacific peoples are presented as a case study of the commensal approach.
