“…The in situ hypothesis fits less comfortably with the molecular dates than the docking hypothesis because the key geological events (creation of Cenderawasih Bay -early Pliocene, 6 Mya; formation of Langguru Fold Belt -Late Miocene, 11 Mya) (Charlton, 2000;Bailly et al, 2009) are much younger than our mean molecular dates of DNA divergence (19.8 Mya). Also, the topology of the three major clades of E. novaeguineae in the phylogeny is more directly consistent with the docking hypothesis than the in situ hypothesis because the Birds Head haplotypes are collectively sister to a clade comprising the Northern and Southern Clades (Fig.…”

“…Under the in situ hypothesis, E. novaeguineae was widespread before becoming fragmented by vicariance events associated with the development of the Central Ranges, the Langguru Fold Belt, and Cenderawasih Bay. Formation of the Langguru Fold Belt in the Birds Neck region (Bailly et al, 2009), coupled with the opening of Cenderawasih Bay by counterclockwise rotation of the Birds Head that began in the Early Pliocene (Charlton, 2000), would have effectively isolated the populations to the west, on Birds Head and PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF AN ENDEMIC TURTLE 201 associated islands. It is important to note that the very narrow continental shelf surrounding the Birds Neck region would have maintained this isolation through the periods of Pleistocene sea level lows (+1 to −135 m; Clark & Mix, 2002); the deep waters of the Aru Trough and Cenderawasih Bay occur close to the current coastline on either side of the Birds Neck (Fig.…”

The island of New Guinea lies in one of the most tectonically active regions in the world and has long provided outstanding opportunity for studies of biogeography. Several chelid turtles, of clear Gondwanal origin, occur in New Guinea; all species except one, the endemic Elseya novaeguineae, are restricted to the lowlands south of the Central Ranges. Elseya novaeguineae is found throughout New Guinea. We use mitochondrial and nuclear gene variation among populations of E. novaeguineae throughout its range to test hypotheses of recent extensive dispersal versus more ancient persistence in New Guinea. Its genetic structure bears the signature of Miocene vicariance events. The date of the divergence between a Birds Head (Kepala Burung) clade and clades north and south of the Central Ranges is estimated to be 19.8 Mya [95% highest posterior density (HPD) interval of 13.3-26.8 Mya] and the date between the northern and southern clades is estimated to be slightly more recent at 17.4 Mya (95% HPD interval of 11.0-24.5 Mya). The distribution of this endemic species is best explained by persistent occupation (or early invasion and dispersal) and subsequent isolation initiated by the dramatic landform changes that were part of the Miocene history of the island of New Guinea, rather than as a response to the contemporary landscape of an exceptionally effective disperser. The driving influence on genetic structure appears to have been isolation arising from a combination of: (1) the early uplift of the Central Ranges and establishment of a north-south drainage divide; (2) development of the Langguru Fold Belt; (3) the opening of Cenderawasih Bay; and (4) the deep waters of the Aru Trough and Cenderawasih Bay that come close to the current coastline to maintain isolation of the Birds Head through periods of sea level minima (−135 m). The dates of divergence of turtle populations north and south of the ranges predate the telescopic uplift of the central ranges associated with oblique subduction of the Australian Plate beneath the Pacific Plate. Their isolation was probably associated with earlier uplift and drainage isolation driven by the accretion of island terranes to the northern boundary of the Australian craton that occurred earlier than the oblique subduction. The opening of Cenderawasih Bay is too recent (6 Mya) to have initiated the isolation of the Birds Head populations from those of the remainder of New Guinea, although its deep waters will have served to sustain the isolation through successive sea level changes. The molecular evidence suggests that the Birds Head docked with New Guinea some time before the Central Ranges emerged as a barrier to turtle dispersal. Overall, deep genetic structure of the species complex reflects events and processes that occurred during Miocene, whereas structure within each clade across the New Guinea landscape relates to Pliocene and Pleistocene times.

Cryptic Diversity in Indo-Australian Rainbowfishes Revealed by DNA Barcoding: Implications for Conservation in a Biodiversity Hotspot Candidate

et al. 2012

The rainbowfishes of the family Melanotaeniidae represent one of the largest radiations of freshwater fishes from the Indo-Australian archipelago. A total of 75 nominal species have been described, among which several have become very popular among tropical fish hobbyists because of their tendency to form large schools of colourful individuals. Facing habitat loss and competition or predation by introduced species, this group has become a priority in the conservation of ornamental fishes in Indonesia. In this context, several expeditions have been conducted between 2007 and 2010 in Indonesian Papua with the aim to initiate a large-scale survey of the genetic resources in this group. We assessed the diversity of the Papua rainbowfishes with DNA barcoding. We sequenced the mitochondrial COI gene for 350 specimens belonging to 53 nominal species throughout the Indo-Australian archipelago. Unexpected levels of cryptic diversity and endemism were detected since additional cryptic lineages were detected in several watersheds from the Vogelkop and the Lengguru massif. DNA barcoding supports the presence of nearly 30 evolutionary lineages among the 15 nominal species sampled in the Vogelkop and all these lineages are endemic to a single lake or watershed. This result highlights that the diversity of the family has been largely underestimated and urges for the identification of conservation priorities in Papua.

All along the belt, deformation is accommodated by N100°E trending and strike-slip faults [9]. But recent motion is difficult to interpret and to date because it runs parallel to the fabric of the metamorphic rocks.…”

Papua is one of part in Indonesia which is the geology research of that place isn't developed and limited. It causes the seismotectonic of Papua hasn't been known. WinITDB was used to determine the dip angle plate which was on the north part of Papua. The determination of angle was done through seismicity's cross section analysis in the area. To show that seismicity, earthquake history data that ever occurred in the area is needed. The result on the seismicity's cross section of plane A-A', was confluence by two plates with angle 150° against horizontal on the depth up to ±68 km. On the seismicity's cross section of plane B-B' had angle 135° against horizontal on the ±82 km depth. On the plane C-C' seismicity's cross section, was confluence of two plate which located between -1,77°S until -4,97°S subducted until 171 km depth on 1,38°N -4,97°S. It proved that subduction characteristic in the northern Papua which was Australia continent plate subducted to north, followed by collision and the Pacific plate subduction on New Guinea. It is also confirmed by focus mechanism analysis which showed the earthquake activities are controlled by the not really deep active fault.
