“…In summary, the analyses presented here indicate that the findings reported by Bacon et al (3) are robust to the issues raised (4,5). Recent efforts have shed light on the geological formation of the Isthmus of Panama and its impact on the region's biodiversity, climate, and oceanic circulation (9,10).…”

“…A potential earlier formation of the Isthmus of Panama (Bacon et al, ; Lessios, ; Montes et al, ; O'Dea et al, ) would not affect our results, as it is plausible that the Pacific lineage that gave rise to the MED population may already have been present in the North Atlantic before the closure of the CAS. Moreover, some researchers have suggested that the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean may have remained intermittently connected by shallow waters other than the CAS (Jaramillo et al, ).…”

Aim: Determine the evolutionary origin of the heretofore poorly characterized contemporary Great White Shark (GWS; Carcharodon carcharias) of the Mediterranean Sea, using phylogenetic and dispersal vicariance analyses to trace back its global palaeo-migration pattern. Location: Mediterranean Sea.Taxon: Carcharodon carcharias. Methods:We have built the largest mitochondrial DNA control region (CR) sequence dataset for the Mediterranean GWS from referenced historical jaws spanning the 19th and 20th centuries. Mediterranean and global GWS CR sequences were analysed Handling Editor: Michelle Gaither for genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships and divergence time. A Bayes factor approach was used to assess two scenarios of GWS lineage divergence and emergence of the Mediterranean GWS line using fossil records and palaeo-geographical events for calibration of the molecular clock. Results: The results confirmed a closer evolutionary relationship between Mediterranean GWS and populations from Australia-New Zealand and the North-eastern Pacific coast rather than populations from South African and North-western Atlantic. The Mediterranean GWS lineage showed the lowest genetic diversity at the global level, indicating its recent evolutionary origin. An evaluation of various divergence scenarios determined the Mediterranean GWS lineage most likely appeared some 3.23 million years ago by way dispersal/vicariance from Australian/Pacific palaeo-populations. Main conclusion: Based on the fossil records, phylogeographic patterns and divergence time, we revealed that the Mediterranean GWS population originated in the Pliocene following the Messinian Salinity Crisis. Colonization of the Mediterranean by GWS likely occurred via an eastward palaeo-migration of Australian/eastern Pacific elements through the Central American Seaway, before the complete closure of the Isthmus of Panama. This Pliocene origin scenario contrasts with a previously proposed scenario in which Australian GWS colonized the Mediterranean via antipodean northward migration resulting from navigational errors from South Africa during Quaternary climatic oscillations.

“…20 and 6 Ma; marine vicariance at c . 23 and 7 Ma; see debate about “an early closure of the Isthmus of Panama”: Bacon et al., ; Lessios, ; Marko et al., ). On the contrary, the divergence time between the WN population and the EN population of A. litoralis estimated in this study could support both of these hypotheses, considering the 95% HPD intervals (3.28–7.06 Ma).…”

We investigated the species trees, temporal divergence and historical biogeography of Emplenota Casey and Triochara Bernhauer (ET clade hereafter), subgenera of the Aleochara coastal staphylinid beetles, to determine their place of origin. We explored a multilocus dataset to infer gene trees and species trees based on traditional concatenated and multispecies coalescentbased approaches using both model-(maximum likelihood and Bayesian) and parsimony-based methods. The multilocus dataset comprised DNA sequences from five nuclear genes (ArgK, CAD, EF1-a, wg and 28S) and three mitochondrial genes (COI, COII and 16S). *BEAST analysis according to a coalescent-based approach resolved the following phylogenetic relationships: ((A. trisulcata (A. nubis + A. zerchei)) (A. obscurella ((A. pacifica (A. curtidens + A. litoralis)) (A. hayamai (A. yamato (A. fucicola (A. segregata + A. puetzi))))))). Using a relaxed molecular clock, we reconstructed a time-calibrated phylogeny for this group. Furthermore, to account for the historical biogeography of the ET clade at the ages of major divergences, we investigated the ancestral area based on a time-calibrated phylogeny. Biogeographical analyses suggested that the ancestor of the ET clade was widely distributed along the eastern and western Palearctic and the western Nearctic coasts in the early Miocene. According to reconstruction of the ancestral area, one dispersal and three vicariance events were required, and the analyses indicated that vicariance events were important in shaping its current distribution patterns. Most of the divergence events occurred in the late Miocene and early Pliocene along the Pacific coasts, and the East Asian seacoasts harboured the most species-rich fauna, including eight of the 13 species in the ET clade.
