“…However, these clades share no haplotypes between them and in all instances the phylogenetic reconstruction suggest strong lineage isolation by this geographic barrier. These results corroborate a pattern commonly found in other bird distributions at this region (Parker et al, 1985;Bates and Zink, 1994;Johnson and Jones, 2001;Miller et al, 2007;Weir, 2009). Furthermore, Clades D and C in Ecuador are separated east and west at each mountain system by the Ecuadorian Andean Valley shear, a pattern previously reported by Chaves et al (2007).…”

“…The model-corrected ND2 distance between the Darien (eastern Panama) and Talamanca (western Panama) clades of M. olivaceus was 2.0%. Across this same geographical span, Myadestes solitaires showed identical mtDNA divergence (Miller et al 2007). If we assume a constant rate of mtDNA divergence of ca 2.0% Myr K1 , then both montane Mionectes and Myadestes in southern Middle America began to differentiate across the Isthmus of Panama ca 1.0 Myr ago, well after its Pliocene formation.…”

Most Neotropical lowland forest taxa occur exclusively on one side of the Andes despite the availability of appropriate habitat on both sides. Almost all molecular phylogenies and phylogenetic analyses of species assemblages (i.e. area cladograms) have supported the hypothesis that Andean uplift during the Late Pliocene created a vicariant barrier affecting lowland lineages in the region. However, a few widespread plant and animal species occurring in lowland forests on both sides of the Andes challenge the generality of this hypothesis. To understand the role of the Andes in the history of such organisms, we reconstructed the phylogeographic history of a widespread Neotropical flycatcher (Mionectes oleagineus) in the context of the other four species in the genus. A molecular phylogeny based on nuclear and mitochondrial sequences unambiguously showed an early basal split between montane and lowland Mionectes. The phylogeographic reconstruction of lowland taxa revealed a complex history, with multiple cases in which geographically proximate populations do not represent sister lineages. Specifically, three populations of M. oleagineus west of the Andes do not comprise a monophyletic clade; instead, each represents an independent lineage with origins east of the Andes. Divergence time estimates suggest that at least two cross-Andean dispersal events post-date Andean uplift.

“…Although the greater distance between Caribbean islands and the Galápagos might make a direct Caribbean-toGalápagos dispersal seem unlikely, birds have previously demonstrated the ability to disperse long distances. For example, solitaires in the genus Myadestes have colonized both the Hawaiian Islands and Greater Antilles from Mesoamerica (Miller et al 2007). Moreover, other Galápagos taxa exhibit affiliations with Caribbean taxa (Grehan 2001), indicating a Caribbean origin is plausible.…”
