1 Relationships of Floras (& Faunas) Knowledge of earth and organism histories now permit closer examination of relationships of disjunct floras and faunas. Southern Hemisphere temperate Southern Hemisphere tropics the Wallace Line Eastern Asian - Eastern North American temperate Stewartia malacodendron Theaceae - tea family Eastern North America and Eastern Asia is the classic north temperate disjunction pattern Stewartia sinensis Stewartia pseudocamellia This disjunct pattern, also seen in animals, was one of the original repeated patterns that led Rosen, Nelson, and Platnick to formulate cladistic biogeography Floristic connection between the two areas is strong at the generic level Impression of a biological connection has been strengthened by similarities in climate and ecology or ecological biogeography They interpreted such a repeated pattern as due to vicariance (erection of barrier in once continual biota)
2 First disjunction recognized by botanical biogeographers and thus played an important role in Darwin s evidence for evolution Pattern also involves fossil taxa from the Tertiary (back to about 40 mya), and thus has been termed the Arcto-Tertiary Flora Miocene Magnolia fossils - Idaho Credit for the recognition of the floristic similarities often given to Asa Gray (Harvard University), but the first published reference was in a thesis by Linnaeus student Jona Halenius (1750) Pattern first noticed by a Jesuit priest, Father Joseph Lafitau, who found American ginseng (1716) near Montreal after reading description of the Chinese ginseng Caulophyllum robustum Jun Wen Smithsonian Institute of Natural History
3 1. Pattern originally thought to include identical species (Gray listed 134) but now believed to be largely congeneric not conspecific. By 1992 the list included only 8 conspecific examples, and by 1999 only Pattern originally thought to include identical species (Gray listed 134) but now believed to be largely congeneric not conspecific. By 1992 the list included only 8 conspecific examples, and by 1999 only 1. Caulophyllum robustum Caulophyllum thalictroides Blue cohosh - Berberidaceae Mitchella undulata Mitchella repens Partridge-berry, Rubiaceae 1. Pattern originally thought to include identical species (Gray listed 134) but now believed to be largely congeneric not conspecific. By 1992 the list included only 8 conspecific examples, and by 1999 only Pattern originally thought to include identical species (Gray listed 134) but now believed to be largely congeneric not conspecific. By 1992 the list included only 8 conspecific examples, and by 1999 only 1. Symplocarpus renifolius Symplocarpus foetidus Skunk cabbage, Araceae Phryma leptostachya var. asiatica Phryma leptostachya var. leptostachya Lopseed, Verbenaceae
4 2. Up to 120 genera of plants have been cited as exhibiting this pattern. If remove genera (like blue beech) with western North American or western European distributions as well, then 65 genera in 42 different families involved and included in the 65 genera are trees Carpinus betulus Europe Carpinus caroliniana American hornbeam, blue beech Betulaceae Liriodendron chinense Liriodendron tulipfera Tulip tree, Magnoliaceae 1 sp. E. Asia vs. 1 sp. E. North America and included in the 65 genera are trees and included in the 65 genera are vines Hamamelis mollis Hamamelis virginiana Witch hazel, Hamamelidaceae Parthenocissus heneryana Parthenocissus quinquefolia Virgnia creeper, woodbine, Vitaceae 2 spp. E. Asia vs. 2 spp. E. North America 9 spp. E. Asia vs. 3 spp. E. North America

6 3. In few cases, the disjunction involves different but closely related genera 3. In few cases, the disjunction involves different but closely related genera Eomecon chionantha Sanguinaria canadensis Bloodroot, Papaveraceae Weigela florida Diervilla splendens Bush honeysuckle, Caprifoliaceae 4. The disjunction typically involves E. North America and E. Asia but can involve western North America... Clintonia, bead lily
7 4.... and central Asia/Europe Fossil evidence indicates widespread Arcto-Tertiary Flora existed with subsequent extinction in many portions of this range: The European plane tree is a hybrid between the eastern North American and central Asian sycamores - Platanus x hybrida - and is more tolerant to urbanization Ginkgo, now confined to east-central China, had a wide Holarctic distribution from the Paleocene into the Neogene as indicated by fossil localities (!) Fossil evidence indicates widespread Arcto-Tertiary Flora existed with subsequent extinction in many portions of this range: Fossil evidence indicates widespread Arcto-Tertiary Flora existed with subsequent extinction in many portions of this range: Pseudotsuga (Douglas fir) is widespread today in western North America but has only relictual stands (+) in eastern Asia. Fossil localities (!) indicate its wider distribution in the past. Sequoia, now confined to coastal California and adjacent Oregon, had a Holarctic Tertiary distribution as indicated by some of its fossil sites (!).
8 Summary: Tertiary, as well as present day distributions, indicate that a widespread Arcto-Tertiary or Holarctic Flora existed, especially during 25-3 mya, throughout the entire North Temperate region, and facilitated by Bering and North Atlantic land bridges. Why not present today? 1. Climate deterioration during end of Tertiary and into the Pleistocene Worldwide cooling then commenced during the Tertiary and culminated in the Pleistocene glaciations Ginkgo - Tertiary Stewartia - today Quaternary Pleistocene + Holocene Summary: Tertiary, as well as present day distributions, indicate that a widespread Arcto-Tertiary or Holarctic Flora existed, especially during 25-3 mya, throughout the entire North Temperate region, and facilitated by Bering and North Atlantic land bridges.

Glaciation effects most severe in western Europe where E-W mountain chains prevented forest flora going south to refugias extinction of forest species Stewartia - today General interpretation is that the Arcto-Tertiary Flora (and Fauna) was a widespread biota that got fragmented by various events vicariance

10 1 Nyssa +/- Symplocarpus YES Nyssa sylvatica - sour gum, black gum,black tupelo Symplocarpus foetidus, skunk cabbage Symplocarpus renifolius Molecular clocks - when did the species diverge? AND ages consistent with single vicariance event? 1. Liriodendron - tulip trees 13 mya from reading! 2. Magnolia - magnolias 2 mya 3. Campsis - trumpet creepers 25 mya Species relationships & Molecular clocks - do not support classical idea of vicariance! Recent analysis of 100 examples of disjunctions (33 with absolute time divergences) among these four areas provides some new insights on the Holarctic Flora
11 1 plants animals plants animals % of examples showing various disjunct patterns % of examples showing various disjunct patterns 1. Plants show considerably higher proportion of Eastern Asia - Eastern North America disjunct pattern than do animals 1. Plants show considerably higher proportion of Eastern Asia - Eastern North America disjunct pattern than do animals 2. Plants show considerably lower proportion of Western North America - Eastern North America disjunct pattern than do animals 3. Eastern Asia is source of 20 of the disjuncts, and Eastern North America only 1. These dispersal events occurred over the last 30 my and with Beringia the likely route. Summary: Tertiary, as well as present day distributions, indicate that a widespread Arcto-Tertiary or Holarctic Flora existed, especially during 25-3 mya, throughout the entire North Temperate region, and facilitated by Bering and North Atlantic land bridges. Is vicariance a mechanism for the repeated pattern? Vicariad species recognized on morphological similarity are not necessarily sister species using phylogenetics. The large range in estimated time splits for vicariad species indicates that vicariance alone is not an adequate explanation. Dispersal and speciation did not all occur at the same time in all groups. Arrows indicate inferred directions of dispersal
