“…Although Borneo and the Philippines were isolated by high sea levels during the Pleistocene (Haq et al. , 1987), dispersals from Borneo to the Philippines were possible during periods of lower sea level (Reis & Garong, 2001; Bird et al. , 2005).…”

“…, 2005). However, it is thought that Palawan has never been connected by dry land to the other Philippines islands (Heaney, 1986; Reis & Garong, 2001; Esselstyn et al. , 2004; but see Harrison et al.…”

“…The wide distribution of the common palm civet makes this species a good model with which to study Asian biogeography. However, nothing is known about the dispersal abilities of Paradoxurus civets, and humans may have transported the common palm civet to several areas, including the Lesser Sunda Islands and Sulawesi (Groves, 1976(Groves, , 1984Lekagul & McNeely, 1977;Schreiber et al, 1989;Veron, 2001), and Palawan and the other Philippine islands (Reis & Garong, 2001), although Heaney et al (2002) considered the common palm civet to be a native species in the Philippines.…”

“…The Philippine islands lie east of Borneo and are of volcanic origin. One of the Philippine islands, Palawan, was possibly connected to Borneo by a dryland corridor (Heaney, 1986;Voris, 2000;Hall, 2001), but is thought to have never been connected by dry land to the other Philippine islands (Heaney, 1986;Reis & Garong, 2001;Esselstyn et al, 2004; but see Harrison et al, 2006). The Philippine fauna may have resulted from over-water colonization events (see review in Esselstyn et al, 2009).…”

Aim Using molecular data and dental features, we investigated the genetic and morphological diversity among species of palm civets in the genus Paradoxurus, with a focus on the common palm civet, Paradoxurus hermaphroditus (Carnivora, Viverridae), in order to address biogeographic scenarios and provide recommendations for a taxonomic revision.Location Asia: Pakistan to the Lesser Sunda Islands.Methods We investigated the genetic diversity within Paradoxurus using two mitochondrial (cytochrome b, control region) and one nuclear (intron 7 of the b-fibrinogen) markers. We used samples from 85 individuals of P. hermaphroditus (including 20 museum specimens) and one representative of each of the other species in the genus Paradoxurus: Paradoxurus jerdoni and Paradoxurus zeylonensis. DNA sequences were analysed using phylogenetic and haplotype network methods, and divergence dates were estimated for the clades retrieved. Furthermore, we examined dental characters from a large series of specimens and compared the morphological variation with the molecular data. ResultsOur phylogenetic analyses revealed that P. hermaphroditus is paraphyletic. We identified three major lineages distributed: (1) in the Indian subcontinent, south China, Hainan and in areas above 200 m in Indochina; (2) in Peninsular Malaysia, Java, Sumatra and in areas below 200 m in Indochina; and (3) in Borneo, the Philippines and the Mentawai archipelago. Our morphological observations were congruent with these three molecular lineages. Divergence date estimates inferred a Pliocene origin for Paradoxurus (2.8-5.7 Ma), with the three main clades diversifying from the mid-Early Pliocene to the end of the Pliocene. We suggest that the flooding of the Isthmus of Kra during the Pliocene was a major event shaping the diversification of Paradoxurus palm civets. We also hypothesize that the elevational segregation of the two lineages on the mainland could have resulted from the vegetational changes that were induced by Late Pliocene glacial episodes.Main conclusions The Isthmus of Kra is a major boundary between two major lineages of P. hermaphroditus. There is a need for a taxonomic revision for P. hermaphroditus, and we suggest that this species should be split into at least three species.

“…Based on their biostratigraphic similarity to the Javanese Punung 220 fauna, these sites can probably be dated in the early Last Interglacial (between 128 +/-15 and 118 +/-221 3 ka) ( Palawan island is considered part of the Sundaic biogeographic region as well (Reis & Garong 2001). 233…”
