The Greater Antilles Rise-Aves Ridge, commonly known as GAARlandia, is a hypothesized land bridge which is thought to have connected the Greater Antilles to South America around 33 million years ago (mya). Plants, animals, and other organisms are believed to have colonized the Caribbean Islands through dispersal and vicariance, and the most prominent vicariance hypothesis involves colonization via GAARlandia. The hypothesis has been supported by studies of individual lineages, but simultaneous colonization by multiple lineages is yet to be proven.
