Abstract: The genus Anthroherpon Reitter, 1889 exhibits the most pronounced troglomorphic characters among Coleoptera, and represents one of the most spectacular radiations of subterranean beetles. However, radiation, diversification, and biogeography of this genus have never been studied in a phylogenetic context. This study provides a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of the Anthroherpon radiation, using a dated molecular phylogeny as a framework for understanding Anthroherpon diversification, reconstructing the anc… Show more

“…Our extension of Janzen's hypothesis to subterranean habitat also provides a potential mechanism for explaining the high rate of local endemism and increased species packing that are typically observed in disparate subterranean systems (e.g., Hedin, ; Njunjić et al, ; Ribera et al, ; Wessel et al, ). It is acknowledged that strong topographic heterogeneity could both inflate speciation rate by increasing specialization and imposing barriers to dispersal, and decrease the extinction rate by promoting local survival during climate shifts (Eme et al, ; Jetz & Rahbek, ; Ohlemüller et al, ).…”

“…Important subterranean radiations are known in all major taxonomic groups (Deharveng & Bedos, 2019), but only a few of them have been well documented. These include Amphipoda (Zakšek et al ., 2019), Collembola (Lukić et al ., 2019), and Coleoptera (Leys et al ., 2003; Faille et al ., 2010; Njunjić et al ., 2018). Which evolutionary processes best explain these radiations remains highly debated (Q13) and it would be particularly interesting to compare and contrast radiations of surface‐dwelling plants and animals (Gillespie et al ., 2020) with subterranean‐adapted species to determine if any universal patterns exist.…”

“…Since then, a wealth of evidence has accumulated testifying that subterranean organisms are indeed among the most spectacular biological models on earth. Subsurface habitats yield some remarkable examples of convergent evolution (Jones et al 1992, Juan et al 2010, Protas and Jeffery 2012, of striking biological radiations (Wessel et al 2013, Hedin 2015, Njunjić et al 2018, and subterranean organisms can provide key evidence for timely and debated topics, from the 'tempo and mode' of speciation (Wilkens and Hüppop 1986, Leys et al 2003, Arnedo et al 2007, Niemiller et al 2008, Ribera et al 2010, Strecker et al 2012 to the existence of life on other planets (Rohwerder et al 2003, Boston et al 2006, Northup et al 2011. A charismatic example attesting the potential of subterranean species as biological models is offered by cavefishes, especially those in the genus Astyanax (Characidae).…”
