ABSTRACT The distribution pattern of 67 genera, 507 species and 2 subspecies of North American Plecoptera is examined using a variant of Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity (PAE), Cladistic Analysis of Distributions and Endemisms (CADE), to assess hierarchical relationships of 85 large political units belonging to Canada, the USA and Mexico. Consensus area cladograms generated from the 146 minimum‐length area cladograms revealed three main assemblages of area clades: The states of northwestern Mexico (Chihuahua, Sonora, Baja California) together with the states and provinces of the western USA and Canada (Nunavut, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Arizona, South Dakota, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, Yukon, Montana, Idaho, Alberta, British Colombia, California, Oregon, Washington); the states and provinces of the eastern USA and Canada (Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Newfoundland, Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nebraska, North Dakota, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, District of Columbia, New Jersey, Delaware, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois); and the remaining states of Mexico (Sinaloa, Tabasco, San Luis Potosi, Puebla, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Nayarit, Michoacan, Morelos, Distrito Federal, Mexico, Jalisco, Durango, Coahuila, Chiapas, Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Guerrero). The major clades of the consensus area cladograms may be reflecting historical phenomena as these can be correlated with geologic events that either fragmented or joined principal North American land areas in the late Jurassic (clade 67), early and mid‐Cretaceous, and Miocene (clades 2 and 24). Low values for the consistency (CI), retention (RI) and rescaled consistency (RC) indices of the 146 minimum‐length area cladograms very likely reflect one or some combination of (1) the extinction of taxa; (2) the influence of random distribution of taxa; (3) the high number as well as the artificial nature of the geographic area units; or (4) incomplete information concerning the distribution of North American Plecoptera genera and species. The hierarchical patterns of this PAE/CADE analysis will need to be corroborated by species phylogenies of North American Plecoptera when they become available.

These workers concluded that there were at species representatives of a large number of least three basic groupings of the North American Plecoptera genera, have generated a cladistic stonefly fauna: Eastern Boreal, Western Boreal, and hypothesis on family and generic relationships Austral.

Based on the assumption A number of methodological approaches have that shared distribution patterns of a biota reflect an been employed to analyze the distributions of underlying common historical explanation, this organisms. Morrone (2005) organized these in a study employs a panbiogeographic method that of methods that are initially divided into applies a variant of the Parsimony Analysis of two classes. The first consist of dispersalist Endemicity (PAE) approach termed Cladistic approaches that use dispersal from previously Analysis of Distributions and Endemisms (CADE) identified centers of origin or ancestral areas to (Cracraft 1991; Porzecanski & Cracraft 2005). This explain distribution of organisms. The second method uses parsimony to construct a cladogram include vicarance approaches. These consist of the depicting the hierarchical pattern of relationships methods of panbiogeography, which first construct a between geographic areas based on distributional track of distribution between related organisms and data of taxa. Geographic areas that have been used in then look for congruence between tracks of unrelated PAE analyses include artificially determined units organisms, and cladistic biogeography, which such as quadrants of varying sizes and natural units construct relationships between the geographic areas such as islands, oceans, continents, ecoregions or a group of organisms inhabit by employing the biogeographic regions.
