“…Also, if we accept dispersal as a possible explanation for disjunct patterns, vicariance explanations would never be inferred (Platnick and Nelson 1978;Morrone and Crisci 1995). (b) Lack of predictive power: Dispersal-based hypotheses are lineage-specific, idiosyncratic scenarios that can only explain the biogeographic history of individual lineages (e.g., Brundin 1966) but cannot provide a general theory to explain how organisms with different ecologies and dispersal abilities came to occupy the same biogeographic regions and to exhibit similar distribution patterns (Croizat et al 1974;Nelson and Platnick 1981;Humphries and Parenti 1986).…”

Biogeography is the discipline of biology that studies the present and past distribution patterns of biological diversity and their underlying environmental and historical causes. For most of its history, biogeography has been divided into proponents of vicariance explanations, who defend that distribution patterns can mainly be explained by geological, tectonic-isolating events; and dispersalists, who argue that current distribution patterns are largely the result of recent migration events. This paper provides an overview of the evolution of the discipline from methods focused on finding general patterns of distribution (cladistic biogeography), to those that integrate biogeographic processes (event-based biogeography), to modern probabilistic approaches (parametric biogeography). The latter allows incorporating into biogeographic inference estimates of the divergence time between lineages (usually based on DNA sequences) and external sources of evidence, such as information on past climate and geography, the organism fossil record, or its ecological tolerance. This has revolutionized the discipline, allowing it to escape the dispersal versus vicariance dilemma and to address a wider range of evolutionary questions, including the role of ecological and historical factors in the construction of biomes or the existence of contrasting patterns of range evolution in animals and plants.

“…Cladistic vicariance biogeography (Rosen 1978;Platnick and Nelson 1978;Nelson and Platnick 1981;Wiley 1988) was born from the fusion of cladistics and Croizat's concept of vicariance (Fig. 1c).…”

“…Viewed in this light, inferring organismal phylogeny from single genes becomes as fraught as inferences based on single morphological characters 3 , making it essential to analyse multiple genes. In the same way, parasitologists 4 and biogeographers 32 have stressed the need to use multiple associate trees to infer the relationships among hosts and areas, respectively.…”

“…Luego de dicha revisión, ha aparecido una obra de síntesis (CRAW et al 1999), se han producido algunos avances metodológicos -sobre todo la implementación del análisis de Vicarianza versus dispersión. Uno de los debates más importantes en la historia de la biogeografía de los siglos XIX y XX se refirió a cuál proceso biogeográfico histórico es más importante, la dispersión o la vicarianza (NELSON 1978;PLATNICK & NELSON 1978;NELSON & PLATNICK 1981;HUMPHRIES & PARENTI 1999). Clásicamente, se consideró que la dispersión era el factor más importante.…”

ABSTRACT. Recognition of biotic components is a key element for understanding evolution in space-time. Panbiogeography represents a biogeographic approach that may be applied to identify these biotic components. A revision of the panbiogeographic approach is provided herein, including definitions of basic concepts (individual and generalized tracks, nodes, baselines, and main massings) and methods (manual, connectivity and incidence matrices, track compatibility, and parsimony analysis of endemicity). As an example of this approach, 70 biotic components of Latin America and the Caribbean are identified, briefly characterized, and arranged in a biogeographic system of three regions, seven subregions, and two transition zones. The relevance of the recognition of biotic components and transition zones is discussed. KEYWORDS.Biogeography; evolution; Neotropics; nodes; parsimony analysis of endemicity; tracks. RESUMEN.El reconocimiento de componentes bióticos resulta clave para comprender la evolución en espacio-tiempo. La panbiogeografía representa un enfoque biogeográfico que puede aplicarse para identificar estos componentes bióticos. Se proprorciona una revisión del enfoque panbiogeográfico, incluyendo definiciones de conceptos básicos (trazos individuales y generalizados, nodos, líneas de base y centros de masa) y métodos (manual, matrices de conectividad e incidencia, compatibilidad de trazos y análisis de parsimonia de endemismos). Como un ejemplo de este enfoque, se identifican 70 componentes bióticos de América Latina y el Caribe, se caracterizan brevemente, y se ordenan en un sistema biogeográfico de tres regiones, siete subregiones y dos zonas de transición. Se discute la relevancia del reconocimiento de componentes bióticos y zonas de transición. KEYWORDS.Biogeografía; evolución; Neotrópicos; nodos; análisis de parsimonia de endemismos; trazos.La biogeografía estudia la distribución de los seres vivos en espacio y tiempo, al reconocer patrones de distribución, proponer hipótesis acerca de los procesos que los causaron y proporcionar un sistema de regionalización biótica del planeta. Esta disciplina es idiosincrásica, pues pese a la existencia de numerosos libros, simposios y cursos sobre la misma, raramente hay "biogeógrafos" (NELSON 1985), lo cual se debería a que ocupa un espacio intermedio entre la geografía, la geología y la biología, siendo practicada por sistemáticos, ecólogos, paleontólogos y geógrafos, entre otros. En la actualidad, la biogeografía atraviesa por un periodo extraordinario de renovación teórica y metodológica (MORRONE & CRISCI 1995;ANDERSSON 1996;VUILLEUMIER 1999;CRISCI 2001).Durante la historia de la biogeografía se han desarrollado varios enfoques diferentes, los que pueden clasificarse en dos grandes campos, denominados biogeografía ecológica y biogeografía histórica. La biogeografía ecológica generalmente analiza patrones de distribución individual o poblacional, a escalas espaciales y temporales pequeñas, mientras que la biogeografía histórica básicamente analiza patrones de di...
