“…MTZ is an area of natural endemism for Curculionoidea (Morrone 2014b), with a complex history (in geological and evolutionary aspects) favorable to being the center of endemism or diversity for many taxa (Escalante et al 2013;Miguez-Gutiérrez et al 2013) and possibly the origin of coevolutionary events of the cactus plant-cactus weevil. According to Halffter (1974), these Neotropical species are distributed in the lowlands and did not invade the Mexican highlands and could have originated in the Oligocene-Miocene from the Central American Nucleus of the Mountain Mesoamerican cenocron (Morrone 2015).…”

“…However, we did not include the south-western United States where AEs are absent for our taxon groups. We compiled a database from presence records of 55 species of beetles from 19 genera in the family Passalidae and 51 species belonging to four genera in the family Scarabaeidae (Ateuchus, Canthon, Onthophagus and Phanaeus; Table S1.2); groups previously studied in the MTZ (Guti errez-Vel azquez et al, 2013;Halffter, 1987;Marshall & Liebherr, 2000;Miguez-Guti errez, Castillo, M arquez, & Goyenechea, 2013;Morrone & M arquez, 2001).…”

Aim The Mexican Transition Zone (MTZ) is an area where the Nearctic and Neotropical biogeographical regions overlap, generating high species richness and endemism. The objective of this study was to analyse if potential changes in the composition and the geographical location of areas of endemism (AEs) for beetles and mammals during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the mid‐Holocene (MH) or the Last Interglacial (LIG) have influenced the definition of the MTZ in the present. Location Mexico and Central America. Methods Ecological niche models (ENM) were generated describing the current distribution of 218 species associated with the MTZ and then transferred to three periods into the past. A parsimony analysis of endemicity (PAE) was run to identify current AEs. The transferred models of each set of species that form the current AEs were used to assess if the geographical ranges of the species’ ecological niches changed over time, or whether they remained stable supporting the validation of the AEs during three past recent periods (LGM, MH and LIG). Results Two current AEs were detected that persisted geographically during the three past periods (LGM, MH and LIG). Main conclusions The results show that some AEs change through time as a response of climate, whereas others remained stable. Thus, the MTZ could be considered as a dynamic zone at least over the last 130,000 years. The climate analysis of the AEs allows them to be recognized either as true spatio‐temporal units, or as temporarily restricted patterns of co‐distribution resulting from changes in climate over time.

The Mexican transition zone is the complex and varied area in which the Neotropical and Nearctic biotas overlap. In a series of contributions, Gonzalo Halffter provided a coherent theory that explains how sets of taxa that evolved in different geographical areas assembled in this transition zone. Halffter's theory developed gradually, being refined and clarified in successive contributions from him and other authors. After a review of the historical development of the Mexican transition zone, including the characterization of the dispersal or distributional patterns recognized by Halffter, its relevance for evolutionary biogeography is discussed briefly. The Mexican transition zone in the strict sense includes the highlands of Mexico and Guatemala (Sierra Madre Occidental, Sierra Madre Oriental, Transmexican Volcanic Belt, Sierra Madre del Sur and Chiapas Highlands provinces), whereas northern Mexico and the southern United States are clearly Nearctic, and the lowlands of southern Mexico and Central America are clearly Neotropical. The distributional patterns recognized by Halffter are considered to represent cenocrons (sets of taxa that share the same biogeographical history, constituting identifiable subsets within a biota by their common biotic origin and evolutionary history). The development of the Mexican transition zone is summarized into the following stages: (1) Jurassic–Cretaceous: the four Paleoamerican cenocrons extend in Mexico; (2) Late Cretaceous–Palaeocene: dispersal from South America of the Plateau cenocron; (3) Oligocene–Miocene: dispersal from the Central American Nucleus of the Mountain Mesoamerican cenocron; (4) Miocene–Pliocene: dispersal from North America of the Nearctic cenocron; and (5) Pleistocene: dispersal from South America of the Typical Neotropical cenocron.
