“…Many authors, on the other hand, have underscored the importance of time scale in biogeographic research (Grande, 1985;Page, 1990b;Upchurch, Hunn, 2002;Donoghue, Moore, 2003;Nihei, 2008). They argue that ignoring the time dimension obscures the connection between biogeographic patterns and their underlying causes (Donoghue, Moore, 2003, Posadas et al, 2006. Page (1990b), for example, states that the addition of a temporal component increases our ability to distinguish congruence from incongruence.…”

Biogeography of Amazonian fishes: deconstructing river basins as biogeographic units

Biogeography of Amazonian fishes (2,500 species in vastly disjunct lineages) is complex and has so far been approached only partially. Here, we tackle the problem on the basis of the largest database yet on geographical distribution and phylogenetic relationships of Amazonian fishes, including all information available. Distributions of 4,095 species (both Amazonian and outgroups) and 84 phylogenetic hypotheses (comprising 549 phylogenetically-informative nodes) were compiled, qualified and plotted onto 46 areas (29 Amazonian and 17 non-Amazonian). The database was analyzed with PAE, CADE, BPA and BPA 0 , yielding largely congruent results and indicating that biogeographic signal is detectable on multiple dimensions of fish distribution, from single species ranges to cladistic congruence. Agreement is especially pronounced in deeper components, such as Trans-Andean, Cis-Andean, Western Amazon and Orinoco basins. Results show that all major Amazonian tributaries, as well as the Amazon basin itself, are non-monophyletic and constitute hybrid sets of heterogeneous biotic partitions. Amazonian drainages should not be assumed a priori as historically cohesive areas, contrary to widespread practice. Our hypothesis allows reevaluation of broader issues in historical biogeography, such as the predictive power of biogeographic hypotheses, the vicariant/ dispersal duality, the significance of widely distributed taxa, and the need for temporal dimension in biogeographic patterns. A biogeografia dos peixes amazônicos (2.500 espécies de diferentes linhagens) é complexa e até agora foi abordada apenas parcialmente. Aqui abordamos o problema com base no maior banco de dados já feito sobre a distribuição geográfica e as relações filogenéticas dos peixes amazônicos, incluindo todas as informações disponíveis. A distribuição de 4.095 espécies (tanto amazônicas como de grupos-externos) e 84 hipóteses filogenéticas (que incluíam 549 nós filogeneticamente informativos) foram compiladas e qualificadas em 46 áreas (29 amazônicas e 17 não-amazônicas). O banco de dados foi analisado a partir das metodologias PAE, CADE, BPA e BPA0, resultando em topologias amplamente congruentes e indicando que o sinal biogeográfico é detectável em múltiplas dimensões, desde a simples distribuição de peixes até em congruência cladística. A concordância topológica é especialmente pronunciada em componentes mais profundos, como as bacias Trans-Andina, Cis-Andina, Amazonas Ocidental e Orinoco. Os resultados demonstram que todos os principais afluentes amazônicos, bem como a própria bacia amazônica, não são monofiléticos e constituem conjuntos híbridos formados a partir de parcelas bióticas heterogêneas. As drenagens amazônicas não devem ser consideradas a priori como áreas historicamente coesas, contrariamente à prática generalizada. Nossa hipótese permite a reavaliação de questões mais amplas na biogeografia histórica, como o poder preditivo de hipóteses biogeográficas, a dualidade vicariante/dispersão, significância de táxons amplamente distribuídos e a n...

“…The progression rules, however, may be seen as a null hypothesis for predictions on the distribution of clades due to the inherent reasonability and possibility of testing it through integrative phylogenetic and distribution models. Despite the controversy surrounding concepts of center of origins and ancestral areas (Posadas et al 2006), basing on the procedure of associating distribution and phylogeny, the reported phylogenetic predictability registered for insular species (Rundell et al 2004, Gillespie 2005, Parent et al 2008, Rubinoff 2008) could also be tested and possibly confirmed for mainland taxa.…”

Neotropical Polistinae (Vespidae) and the Progression Rule Principle: the Round-Trip Hypothesis

et al. 2015

The progression rule principle is based on the relation between centers of origin and basal forms, and the prediction that recently colonized areas are where novelties commonly occur. Using this concept as the null hypothesis, the aim of the present study was to test whether intuitive predictions of this model are confirmed in the Neotropical paper wasps, a group fairly studied through phylogenetic frameworks. The analyses consisted of a careful review of the distribution of different wasps of the subfamily Polistinae with available phylogenies and the association of this information with colonization routes. This procedure allowed the determination of a two-step colonization process in the Neotropical region based on the progression rule principle, for which the round-trip hypothesis is proposed. The first route (east to west) is seen in a small group of Polistes. This route is rare but strengthens the arising of paper wasps in the Americas in a Gondwanan scenario. The second route (west to east) is remarkably repeated in several other lineages. Thus, the northwestern Neotropics, mainly Amazon Forest, is proposed as the major center of origins for living Neotropical Polistinae and the round-trip hypothesis may explain both earlier and later colonization routes of the paper wasps analyzed.

“…Critiques against event-based methods are mostly based on the idea that if the costs assigned to each of the biogeographical processes considered are wrong, the biogeographical inference would be wrong; and that these approaches offer the possibility of an infinite combination of costs (Siddal & Kluge 1997, Grant & Kluge 2003, Posadas et al 2006. Sanmartín (2007) points out that this argument has been used against model based methods, such as maximum likelihood or Bayesian inference in phylogenetic analysis.…”
