Spatial and temporal divergence among populations in P. xanthodes, A. orientalis, and N. rotundatus, illustrated on a map of East Asia. Coloured areas represent endemism for ancestral area reconstruction, and arrows represent dispersal routes of each species. Letters represent custom-defined distribution areas in ancestral range reconstruction analysis.
🏔️The Qinling-Daba Mountains represent a critical #ecological transition zone.
🔎Comparative #phylogeography reveals it was a key dispersal corridor for three Oriental Palaeartic megalopteran species.
