  abstract = {{F}or a long time, {N}ew {C}aledonia was considered a continental island, a fragment of {G}ondwana harbouring old clades that originated by vicariance and so were thought to be locally ancient. {R}ecent molecular phylogenetic studies dating diversification and geological data indicating important events of submergence during the {P}aleocene and {E}ocene (until 37 {M}a) brought evidence to dismiss this old hypothesis. {I}n spite of this, some authors still insist on the idea of a local permanence of a {G}ondwanan biota, justifying this assumption through a complex scenario of survival by hopping to and from nearby and now-vanished islands. {B}ased on a comprehensive review of the literature, we found 40 studies dating regional clades of diverse organisms and we used them to test the hypothesis that {N}ew {C}aledonian and inclusive {P}acific island clades are older than 37 {M}a. {T}he results of this meta-analysis provide strong evidence for refuting the hypothesis of a {G}ondwanan refuge with a biota that originated by vicariance. {O}nly a few inclusive {P}acific clades (6 out of 40) were older than the oldest existing island. {W}e suggest that these clades could have extinct members either on vanished islands or nearby continents, emphasizing the role of dispersal and extinction in shaping the present-day biota.},
