“…5 Ma (Figures and ), when Taiwan had not yet emerged above sea level (Teng, ). Recent studies on animals (Li et al., ; Lv et al., ; Nishizawa et al., ) and plants (Wang et al., ) have noted a similar pattern. In other regions of the world, it has been reported that the ages of island endemic taxa significantly pre‐date the ages of islands (Parent et al., ; Renner, Strijk, Strasberg, & Thébaud, ).…”

Aim Phylogeographical studies of Taiwan have advanced our knowledge of the origins of its fauna, but the discrepancies raise issues related to the interpretation of single‐taxon studies. Here, we provide a synthesis of the biogeographical histories of multiple terrestrial vertebrates endemic to Taiwan and infer the colonization processes within the context of geological and climatic events. Location Taiwan and neighbouring land masses. Taxon Terrestrial vertebrates. Methods We conducted a meta‐analysis of 28 phylogenetic studies of 33 endemic Taiwanese terrestrial vertebrates to summarize the insights into their source regions and divergence times. We used dispersal–extinction–cladogenesis models to reconstruct the ancestral ranges of 54 endemic species based on a recently published time‐calibrated phylogenetic tree. By constructing a frequency histogram that quantified the number and timing of divergence events within 1 Myr bins, we inferred the spatiotemporal colonization patterns of endemic Taiwanese species. Results The results from 28 phylogenetic studies revealed that South China is the main source region of endemic Taiwanese species. However, based on a more comprehensive time tree, the ancestral area reconstruction analyses indicated that endemic species are predominately of Eastern Himalayan origin. Both datasets highlighted a temporal pattern that the majority of colonization events of terrestrial vertebrates endemic to Taiwan occurred from the early Pliocene (c. 5 Ma) onwards, and these events were temporally congruent with the geological estimates of the emergence of Taiwan Island. Main conclusions Terrestrial vertebrates endemic to Taiwan reached the island over the last 5 Myr from a variety of zoogeographical regions. In contrast to the traditional notion, the Eastern Himalayas is the most important source region of endemic Taiwanese species, followed by South China and Indochina. In addition to the land bridge, transoceanic dispersal provided another potential mode for species to colonize Taiwan.

“…Recent molecular dating of the tribe Burasaieae of Menispermaceae suggests that the ancestor of the endemic species of southern Taiwan, Tinospora dentata Diels, was in mainland China (W. Wang & al., 2017). Pseudotsuga wilsoniana Hayata (Pinaceae) originated in the mainland and later migrated to Taiwan; its divergence from its relatives P. forrestii Craib and P. brevifolia Cheng & L.K.Fu took place around 15.31 mya, which is also much earlier than the emergence of Taiwan (X.X.…”

Temperate South American-Asian disjunct distributions are the most unusual in organisms, and challenging to explain. Here, we address the origin of this unusual disjunction in Lardizabalaceae using explicit models and molecular data. The family (c.40 species distributed in ten genera) also provides an opportunity to explore the historical assembly of East Asian subtropical evergreen broadleaved forests, a typical and luxuriant vegetation in East Asia. DNA sequences of five plastid loci of 42 accessions representing 23 species of Lardizabalaceae (c. 57.5% of estimated species diversity), and 19 species from the six other families of Ranunculales, were used to perform phylogenetic analyses. By dating the branching events and reconstructing ancestral ranges, we infer that extant Lardizabalaceae dated to the Upper Cretaceous of East Asia and that the temperate South American lineage might have split from its East Asian sister group at c. 24.4 Ma. A trans-Pacific dispersal possibly by birds from East Asia to South America is plausible to explain the establishment of the temperate South American-East Asian disjunction in Lardizabalaceae. Diversification rate analyses indicate that net diversification rates of Lardizabalaceae experienced a significant increase around c. 7.5 Ma. Our findings suggest that the rapid rise of East Asian subtropical evergreen broadleaved forests occurred in the late Miocene, associated with the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the intensified East Asian monsoon, as well as the higher winter temperature and atmospheric CO 2 levels.
