“…The closely nested diversification rate shifts during the Late Miocene to Early Pleistocene (~12-1 Mya) (shifts 4, 5, and 7-15) occurred only in two characteristically Tibetan lineages of polyploidy cyprinids, with one (shifts 7-15) composed entirely of the cleft breast cyprinids in the genus Schizothorax and the other (shifts 4 and 5) the highly specialized schizothoracine fishes except the Schizothorax (clade SCH and SPE, respectively, Figure 3). Although the southern Tibetan Plateau underwent its main stage of fast uplift in the Early Miocene and the elevation probably remained unchanged over the past 15 million years (Harris, 2006;Spicer et al, 2003), further significant uplifts (with possible intervening deformation) of the east and north of Tibet took place within recent 15 million years (Lu et al, 2004;Ritts et al, 2008). Geological evidence suggested that rapid uplift might take place in Eastern Tibet since about 15 Mya because an cessation of rapid Pacific trench migration during the Early to Middle Miocene (~20-15 Mya) probably contributed to the onset of rapid surface uplift and crustal thickening in Eastern Tibet (Royden et al, 2008).…”

Origin and diversification of the Tibetan polyploid cyprinids (schizothoracins) may help us to explore relationships between diversification of the cyprinids and the Tibetan Plateau uplift. Cyprininae phylogeny was analyzed using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences to trace origins of polyploidy and diversifications of schizothoracins. Ancestral states reconstruction for ploidy levels indicated that the Cyprininae was diploid origin and the schizothoracin clades tetraploid origins. There were two diversification rate shifts along with diversification of the cyprinine fishes in response to the Tibetan uplift. The unusual diversification shifts were located to branches subtending the clades of Tibetan polyploid cyprinids. Our analyses suggested that (i) phylogeny of Cyprininae recovered two independent origins of the Tibetan polyploidy schizothoracins; (ii) diversifications of the schizothoracins were closely related to the Neogene uplift of the Tibetan plateau in the following ways: the relatively ancient Late Oligocene-Middle Miocene adaptive radiation may be associated with the uplift of the southern Tibet and Himalaya; the Middle Miocene-Early Pleistocene lineage-specific diversification broadly coincident with major phase of the Neogene Tibetan uplift; and the most recent Pleistocene diversification shift in Schizothorax closely coincident with the successive Kunlun-Huanghe and Gonghe movements of the Tibetan uplift and the glaciation-induced climate oscillations on the plateau.Cyprininae, polyploid, schizothoracins, the Tibetan Plateau, diversifications Citation:Wang, X., Gan, X., Li J., Chen, Y., and He, S.

“…The area belongs to the transition zone between Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Loess Plateau with altitudes ranging from 1650 m to 4395 m. The divergence time of the two lineages of P. putjatia is estimated as about 1.78 Ma (95% HPD: 0.92-3.06 Ma), which is highly consistent with the final phase of the Qingzang Movement (1.7 Ma; Li et al, 1996). During this phase, there took place accelerated rising at the Xining-Huzhu region, along Huangshui River, the firstclass tributary of Yellow River (Lu et al, 2004). There was a significant readjustment of the fluvial catchment during 1.55-1.2 million years ago in the region of paleoHuangshui, resulting in the modern pattern of Huangshui River.…”

especially in the context of Quaternary and Holocene histories of regional biotas (Hewitt, 2001). The dramatic geological and climatic history and striking habitat diversity of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), ranging from broad plantation surfaces, basins to mountain ranges, have made it a geographic focus of many phylogeographic studies Qu et al., 2010;Xu et al., 2010;Zhan et al., 2011). As reviewed by Yang et al. (2009), the geomorphic and climatic changes on the plateau during the Quaternary have a remarkable influence on regional and adjacent biogeographic patterns.The Quaternary glaciations in the QTP and the bordering mountains were the consequence of a combination between climate and local tectonic uplift. The diversification of P. putjatia may be triggered by the tectonic movement in the Huangshui River valley during the C phase of Qingzang Movement. Subsequently, the glacial climate throughout the Pleistocene may have continued to impede the gene flow of P. putjatia, eventually resulting in the genetic divergence of P. putjatia in the allopatric regions. Demographic estimates revealed weak population expansion in one lineage of P. vlangalii (A2, the Qaidam Basin lineage) and one lineage of P. putjatia (B2, the north Qinghai Lake lineage) after approximately 42 000 years before present. However, constant population size through time was inferred for two lineages (A1 and B1), the source of Yellow River lineage of P. vlangalii and the southeast of Qinghai Lake lineage of P. putjatia, possibly due to stable populations persisting in areas unaffected by glacial advances. Our results also suggest: 1) at least four differentiated lineages of P. vlangalii complex may have evolved allopatrically in different regions during the Pleistocene glaciation events; 2) in support of several recent studies, P. putjatia is a valid species, having a more wide distribution than previously considered; and 3) a hypothesis referring to P. v. hongyuanensis, inhabiting in the source region of the Yellow River, being synonymous with P. v. pylozwi is supported.

“…Unfortunately, the timing of the tectonic events is poorly constrained relative to the timing of climate changes and Changes in continental position and height have frequently been invoked as causes of large-scale climatic shift during Cenozoic (Lyle et al, 2008). Data compilation of Aeolian records spanning early Miocene to late Pleistocene (central China) were used to infer aridity of the mid-continent was caused by global cooling or topographic uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, the latter might caused a rain shadow effect (Lu et al, 2004). A close association of drying proxies with global cooling and suggest a reduced role for topographic growth on climate change (Lu et al, 2004 ).…”
