“…The previous studies on the EA-NA disjunction primarily utilized plants as model organisms and the timing of most disjunctions could be dated to less than 30 Ma (MidLate Tertiary), which suggests vicariance over the Bering Land Bridge (Wen 1999;Sanmartin et al 2001;Donoghue & Smith 2004;Ren et al 2013). The studies of insects distributed in EA and NA, such as swallowtail butterflies of the Papilio elwesi species-group, support a dispersal route of the ancestor to Eurasia via the Bering Land Bridge (BLB) (Wu et al 2015), and the cases of aphids and leaf beetles reveal a consistent biogeographic pattern with their host plants, highlighting the significance of host distribution for diversification (von Dohlen et al 2002;Sota et al 2008;Ren et al 2013). Apart from its diversification in Eastern Asia, no species have been recorded in the western Palaearctic region.…”

Abstract. Synchroidae Lacordaire, 1859 is a taxonomically and biologically poorly known group. In the present paper, diagnostic characters used to separate genera are analysed and the phylogenetic relationships within this family are preliminarily investigated. Results suggest that the characteristic Synchroa pangu Hsiao, Li, Liu & Pang, 2016 can be removed to establish a new genus, Thescelosynchroa gen. nov. The new combination, T. pangu (Hsiao, Li, Liu & Pang) gen. et comb. nov., is proposed. The definitions of Synchroa Newman, 1838 and Synchroina Fairmaire, 1898 are revised. Moreover, morphological analysis and character comparison also suggest that the familial placement of Mallodrya subaenea Horn, 1888 is questionable. Six species are re-examined and rediagnosed: Synchroa chinensis Nikitsky, 1999, S. elongatula Nikitsky, 1999, S. formosana Hsiao, 2015, S. melanotoides Lewis, 1895, S. punctata Newman, 1838 and Synchroina tenuipennis Fairmaire, 1898. The male of S. chinensis and the female of S. formosana are described for the first time. Synchroa elongatula and Synchroina tenuipennis are newly recorded from Laos and Indonesia, respectively. We also hypothesize that the Eastern Asian-North American disjunction of Synchroa could be connected to a Mid-Late Tertiary migration of plants via the Bering Land Bridge.

“…Positions encoding proteins were translated to amino acids using MACCLADE v. Phylogenetic trees were inferred by parsimony using PAUP Ã beta v. 4.0b8 (Swofford 2001) using default settings. Bootstrap resampling (Felsenstein 1985) was applied to assess support for individual nodes using 500 replicates.…”

“…Climatic fluctuations producing episodic connections between Eurasian and North American faunal and floral elements have been invoked recently to explain disjunct distributions in bacteria (Maekawa et al 2005), flowering plants (Wen 1999), aphids (von Dohlen et al 2002), alligators and cryptobranchid salamanders (Pough et al 2004) and even humans (Brown & Lomolino 1998). Particularly important for herpetofaunal exchanges was a MidMiocene connection of eastern Eurasia and eastern North America by a continuous temperate deciduous forest; this connection provided habitats for amphibian and reptilian groups otherwise excluded from the high latitudes at which Eurasia and North America are in close proximity.…”

Assembly of the eastern North American herpetofauna: new evidence from lizards and frogs

et al. 2006

Darwin first recognized the importance of episodic intercontinental dispersal in the establishment of worldwide biotic diversity. Faunal exchange across the Bering Land Bridge is a major example of such dispersal. Here, we demonstrate with mitochondrial DNA evidence that three independent dispersal events from Asia to North America are the source for almost all lizard taxa found in continental eastern North America. Two other dispersal events across Beringia account for observed diversity among North American ranid frogs, one of the most species-rich groups of frogs in eastern North America. The contribution of faunal elements from Asia via dispersal across Beringia is a dominant theme in the historical assembly of the eastern North American herpetofauna.

“…Genomic DNA was extracted using DNAzol ® according to the manufacturer's protocol. The partial fragments of mt COII, one of the representative molecular markers for the identification of species in subfamily Aphidinae (Moran et al, 1999;von Dohlen and Moran, 2000;von Dohlen et al, 2002;von Dohlen and Teulon, 2003), were obtained from the various populations in the Sitobion avenae-complex by PCR using the primers of 2993ϩ (CAT TCA TAT TCA GAA TTA CC) and A3772 (GAG ACC ATT ACT TGC TTT CAG TCA TCT) (von Dohlen and Moran, 2000). PCRs were performed using Advantage PCR II Taq polymerase (BD Advantage™) and the reaction mixture (20 ml contained 10 mM each primer, 200 mM dNTPs, 2.5 mM MgCl 2 and 0.04 mg genomic DNA template.…”

Four grain aphids, Sitobion spp. [S. avenae (F.), S. akebiae (Shinji), S. miscanthi (Takahashi) and S. fragariae (Walker)] on various grasses (Poaceae), nominated as Sitobion avenae-complex in this paper, were compared for their morphological and genetic characteristics. For morphological comparison, ten characters frequently used in the identification of S. avenae-complex were compared among samples from various global locations. The results from these comparisons demonstrated that the ranges of specific characteristics overlap considerably. The means of most characteristics were very similar among S. avenae, S. miscanthi and S. akebiae, indicating that the characteristics are not useful for the individual identification of these three grain aphids. Also, the intra-specific variations of the Far Eastern S. akebiae were as large as the inter-specific differences between S. miscanthi and S. avenae. In the nucleotide sequence comparison of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit II (mt COII) gene, the pair-wise genetic distances among the populations of the three species ranged from 0.00 to 1.56%, almost equal to the intra-specific distances of Far Eastern S. akebiae (0.00-1.38%). In this context, it is suggested that S. akebiae (Shinji) syn. n. and S. miscanthi (Takahashi) syn. n. be synonymized under the senior name, S. avenae (F.).
