“…Following this some species reached the Iberian Peninsula, and then the western regions of Northern Africa. In contrast Grammognatha euphratica , Myriochila melancholica , Lophyra flexuosa could be populated Southern Europe (Garcia-Reina et al 2014), Western and Central Asia as well as Sind and some regions of South-Eastern Asia. Finally, possible during the last Glacial Period, the ancestors of Cicindela javeti and Cicindela herbacea dispersed into the Levant from the Anatolia, a region characterized by a higher level of diversity of the species of the Cicindela campestris group (Cassola 1999; Franzen 2007; Deuve 2011, 2012; our unpublished data).…”

Based on field studies, museums collections and literature sources, the current knowledge of the tiger beetle fauna of Israel and adjacent lands is presented. In Israel eight species occur, one of them with two subspecies, while in the Sinai Peninsula nine species of tiger beetles are now known. In the combined regions seven genera from two tribes were found. The Rift Valley with six cicindelids species is the most specious region of Israel. Cylindera contorta valdenbergi and Cicindela javeti azari have localized distributions and should be considered regional endemics. A similarity analysis of the tiger beetles faunas of different regions of Israel and the Sinai Peninsula reveal two clusters of species. The first includes the Great Rift Valley and most parts of the Sinai Peninsula, and the second incorporates most regions of Israel together with Central Sinai Foothills. Five distinct adult phenological groups of tiger beetles can be distinguished in these two clusters: active all-year (three species), spring-fall (five species), summer (two species), spring-summer (one species) and spring (one species). The likely origins of the tiger beetle fauna of this area are presented. An annotated list and illustrated identification key of the Cicindelinae of Israel and adjacent lands are provided.

“…The dynamic palaeogeographical evolution of the Western Mediterranean, especially since the late Oligocene (Andeweg, 2002; Carminati et al, 2012; Mas‐Peinado et al, 2018; Rosenbaum et al, 2002; Appendix S1), involved the emergence of land bridges in the middle Miocene and volcanic archipelagos in the Pliocene that probably had a decisive role in the evolutionary history of many flightless species (Condamine et al, 2013; Hidalgo‐Galiana & Ribera, 2011; Mas‐Peinado et al, 2018; Micó et al, 2009; Riccieri et al, 2017). The subsequent disappearance of these land bridges later contributed to the disjunct distribution of a variety of taxa, including beetles (Faille et al, 2014; García‐Reina et al, 2014; Palmer & Cambefort, 2000).…”

Aim Discerning the relative role of geographical and ecological factors in promoting diversification is central to our understanding of the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. We explore the roles of geology and ecological tolerance in the diversification of a group of wingless beetles with low dispersal potential. Location Western Mediterranean (Iberian Peninsula and North Africa). Taxon Darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae: Misolampus). Methods We sequenced nine gene fragments from the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in all extant Misolampus species to reconstruct their phylogeny, evaluate species boundaries and potential contact zones and estimate divergence times. We modelled species distributions for different time periods to infer ecological preferences and assess the effects of climatic changes since the last interglacial. We used a time‐stratified process‐based biogeographical model to estimate ancestral areas of origin and the evolution of geographical ranges. Results The palaeoclimatic model projections show contractions of favourable areas during the last interglacial period and mid‐Holocene, and wide stretches of suitable areas during the last glacial maximum. Analyses of ancestral bioclimatic preferences reveal ecological adaptations in isolated lineages within three species. The phylogeny of Misolampus is strongly supported and unveils deep divergences within the six species. Two well‐supported clades were recovered, one distributed in North Africa‐Balearic Islands and another in the Iberian Peninsula. The divergence between the North African and Iberian clades occurred during the early Miocene. Biogeographical analyses infer an ancestral range including the Iberian, Betic and Rifean Plates, with subsequent splits followed by dispersal events. Main conclusions Our results favour a dual role of vicariance and dispersal in driving the historical biogeography and diversification of Misolampus since the early Miocene. We also found evidence for incipient speciation events, underscoring the role of tectonic events and adaptation to local climatic conditions in the diversification of the group.
