5 Historical biogeography: What s the point? Tradi6onally, back to parsimony days, the point has been Ancestral Area Reconstruc6on e.g. Hawaiian Psychotria

6 Historical biogeography: What s the point? Sugges7on: let s replace Ancestral Area Reconstruc6on with Ancestral Range Es6ma6on (credit: Brian Moore) e.g. Hawaiian Psychotria

7 Historical biogeography: What s the point? Sugges7on: let s replace Ancestral Area Reconstruc6on with Ancestral Range Es6ma6on (credit: Brian Moore)

8 Historical biogeography: What s the point? Is Ancestral Range Es6ma6on the only point of historical biogeography? Not originally. The original hope was that by looking at many taxa, we could infer common pacerns and processes. (e.g.: General Area Cladograms, Lieberman- modified Brooks Parsimony Analysis)

9 Historical biogeography: What s the point? I think sta6s6cal model choice can bring process back into historical biogeography in a big way. We can do this by implemen6ng different models and seeing what probability they confer on the data (the likelihood). We don t expect this to be perfect, of course, but it is becer than just picking one model and not tes6ng it. - Already standard procedure in PCMs.

10 George Box All models are wrong, but some models are useful. This phrase is ubiquitous, but s6ll not kept in mind enough. Perhaps drama6za6on will help George E. P. Box ( )

49 Now we have 12 models. Is that the end? Nope. Models morghulis. Models dohaeris.

50 DEC (LAGRANGE) Figure 1, Matzke 2013, Frontiers of Biogeography

51 Anagene7c range- switching parameter, a In one sense, anagene6c range- switching is an absurd process (models morghulis) a But, it might be a decent approxima6on, if jump dispersal is the main dispersal mode, but many lineages are ex6nct or unsampled (models dohaeris) BAYAREALIKE*- d- e+a equals unordered character model (island model)

52 BAYAREALIKE*- d- e+a is a model we can use for valida7on BioGeoBEARS state probabili6es phytools state probabili6es (Revell)

55 Biogeographical Stochas7c Maps converge on state probabili7es BioGeoBEARS, distribu6on of many Biogeographical Stochas7c Maps DEC state probabili6es

56 DEC, DEC+J (BioGeoBEARS) vs. ClaSSE (diversitree) To make ClaSSE & DEC equivalent: DEC or DEC+J equals ClaSSE, *if*: - d and e control character change rates - all ex6nc6on rates set to zero - specia6on rate for each cladogenesis = (Yule rate) 6mes weight/sum(weights) - subtract equilibrium probabili6es at the root

57 DEC, DEC+J (BioGeoBEARS) vs. ClaSSE (diversitree) LnLs for: DEC- e = d DEC = e DEC+J = j

58 Outline 1. Historical biogeography: What s the point? 2. Models morghulis 3. Models in BioGeoBEARS, and valida6on 4. Adding more realism with +x and +n 5. Es6ma6ng the global angiosperm macroevolu6onary dispersal kernel

59 Standard approach: manual dispersal matrix One of the revolu6onary features of Lagrange was adding manual dispersal modifiers E.g., You might try a constrained model, where * dispersal from North America - > South America gets a mul6plier of 1 * dispersal from Africa - > South America gets a mul6plier of 0.1 * dispersal from Africa - > North America gets a mul6plier of 0.01

60 Standard approach: manual dispersal matrix These mul6pliers are subjec6ve, but I think such constrained models are useful. If you get improvement, it indicates some improved fit between the phylogene6c da6ng, distribu6ons, and observed geography at the 6ps If LnL gets worse, it indicates at least one of these is off (probably the da6ng really)

61 Distances Geographic distance = Great Circle Distance between area centroids (rescaled by dividing by min. observed distance) Environmental distance = Difference in absolute value of la7tude

62 New approach: es7mate dispersal matrix Let s try it. Phylogeny: Zanne et al. (2013), Nature, 15,000+ angiosperms Geography: median lat/long of species ranges Regions: Realms x Biomes (58 regions total) Assump7on: everything lives in 1 area
