“…Similar observations of distantly related, sympatric haplogroups have been made in studies of other arthropod groups in New Zealand, mainly on South Island that was most affected by orogenetic and climatic changes of the Pliocene and Pleistocene. Sympatry of divergent lineages has been explained as the result of fast in situ evolution of mtDNA in harvestman spiders (Boyer et al, 2007), but in insects it has been attributed to hybridization (Buckley et al, 2006) or range movement of differentiated lineages (Marshall et al, 2008;Pratt et al, 2008;Trewick, 2008;Wallis and Trewick, 2009). These range shifts seem to be directly linked to postglacial forest regrowth (Leschen et al, 2008) or retreat of glaciers in mountain habitat (Buckley and Simon, 2007;Trewick, 2008).…”

“…For example, a species flock of galaxiid fishes (G. vulgaris sensu lato) show some limited parapatric overlap in the South Island, as a result of natural secondary contact, and some of these contacts show occasional hybridisation (Allibone et al 1996). Within the radiation of New Zealand cicadas many parapatric species form hybrid zones upon contact (Marshall et al 2008). New Zealand tree weta hybrid zones have been described on m ountain ranges (Hemideina maori, King et al 1996King et al , 2003 …”

Hybridisation between related taxa has a range of possible biological consequences, ranging from the production of sterile offspring, through introgression of alleles into populations, to the formation of new species. Examples of plant and animal species hybridising with related taxa abound in the New Zealand region. We review New Zealand examples of hybridisation that have been verified with chromosomal, protein or DNA data. Contemporary hybridisation has been studied at hybrid zones where distinct populations meet and mate in a defined and stable zone of contact. The role of human habitat modification is highlighted with examples of recent range changes that have led to hybridisation and subsequent conservation problems. Hybridisation can result in the swamping of endangered species, although it can also act as a bridge for the transfer of adaptations among lineages. Historical hybridisation in New Zealand has been examined with phylogenetics and there are many examples of organelle introgression or capture. The origin of new species of New Zealand stick insects, ferns and daisies via hybridisation has been demonstrated with cytogenetic and DNA sequence evidence. Thus the importance of hybridisation in the evolution of New Zealand's flora and fauna is highlighted.

“…In many respects northern hemisphere biology has been dominated by Pleistocene climate extremes causing fluctuating population size, but New Zealand biology appears to have an older signature and identification of the respective roles of past geophysical events is in its infancy [but see for example tiger beetles- [19], weta- [24], cicadas- [25]). We know that after separation from Gondwanaland starting 80 Ma, the continent of Zealandia gradually submerged beneath the sea, and that modern New Zealand is primarily the product of tectonic activity initiated ∼25 Ma [3], [4], [5].…”

New Zealand biodiversity has often been viewed as Gondwanan in origin and age, but it is increasingly apparent from molecular studies that diversification, and in many cases origination of lineages, postdate the break-up of Gondwanaland. Relatively few studies of New Zealand animal species radiations have as yet been reported, and here we consider the species-rich genus of carabid beetles, Mecodema. Constrained stratigraphic information (emergence of the Chatham Islands) and a substitution rate for Coleoptera were separately used to calibrate Bayesian relaxed molecular clock date estimates for diversification of Mecodema. The inferred timings indicate radiation of these beetles no earlier than the mid-Miocene with most divergences being younger, dating to the Plio-Pleistocene. A shallow age for the radiation along with a complex spatial distribution of these taxa involving many instances of sympatry implicates recent ecological speciation rather than a simplistic allopatric model. This emphasises the youthful and dynamic nature of New Zealand evolution that will be further elucidated with detailed ecological and population genetic analyses.
