Origin of elevational replacements in a clade of nearly flightless birds – most diversity in tropical mountains accumulates via secondary contact following allopatric speciation

Abstract: Tropical mountains are biodiversity hotspots. In particular, mountains in the Neotropics exhibit remarkable beta diversity reflecting species turnover along elevational gradients. Elevational replacements of species have been known since early surveys of the tropics, but data on how such replacements arise are scarce, limiting our understanding of mechanisms underlying patterns of diversity. We employed a phylogenetic framework to evaluate hypotheses accounting for the origin of elevational replacements in the… Show more

“…Determining the processes that shape species geographic ranges and corresponding patterns in species richness across climatic gradients is a key question in evolutionary ecology, especially in the context of climate change. Physiological constraints, evolutionary history, and competition are thought to be some of the key factors that shape species ranges; however, exactly how these factors interact to form range limits has remained a contentious topic for almost two centuries (Forbes 1846, Mayr 1963, Endler 1977, 1982a, Morin and Chuine 2006, Kellermann et al 2012, Chan et al 2019, Cadena and Céspedes 2020. Tropical montane island ecosystems are ideal natural laboratories to investigate why patterns in species richness occur across environmental gradients because they often have high levels of endemism and climates change rapidly over limited geographic space (Jankowski et al 2013).…”

“…Phylogenetic and phylogeographic comparative studies suggest this process has occurred in Ithioma butterflies (Elias et al, 2009) and Andean amphibians and reptiles (Arteaga et al, 2016). In Andean birds, a broad consensus holds that elevational replacements primarily form through divergence in allopatry followed by secondary contact and displacement (Cadena et al, 2012;DuBay and Witt, 2014;Caro et al, 2013;Cadena and Céspedes, 2019), despite equivocal results in some tests. Yet we are aware of only one study that has used population genomics to evaluate speciation across elevational gradients, which found strong evidence that adaptation to altitude drives speciation in Senecio ragwort plants in temperate Italy (Chapman et al, 2013;Osborne et al, 2013).…”
