“…This also differs from the common pattern, shown by many southeastern USA animals, of an Atlantic/Florida lineage and a Gulf/Texas lineage (presumably deriving from eastern-and western-refuging Pleistocene populations) meeting approximately where N. similaris apalachicola is found (Avise et al 1987;Swenson & Howard 2005;Walker & Avise 1998). Taxa such as N. similaris apalachicola, the beetle Dineutus angusta (Gustafson & Miller 2015) which is also centered on the Apalachicola region, and the Myola frog (Litoria myola) in northeast Queensland, Australia (which also exhibits a small distribution within a "suture zone"), show how differences in ecological and/or historical factors can cause individual taxa to diverge from patterns found in other local community members. Several other southeastern USA cicadas show a different concordant pattern of a "mainland" species or subspecies meeting a Florida peninsula form (e.g., Cicadetta floridensis, Neocicada hieroglyphica johannis, Neotibicen lyricen virescens, and Neotibicen tibicen australis) (see maps in Sanborn & Phillips 2013).…”
