Biogeographic and dating analyses suggest that Western Asia and the Eastern rbcL trnL-F Mediterranean have played a major role as centers of migration and diversification within the Campanula Campanulaceae alliance, probably in relation to the intense orogenic activity that took place in this region during the Late Campanula Neogene, and that could have promoted isolation and allopatric speciation within lineages. Diversifica- tion rates within several Campanula lineages would have increased at the end of the Miocene, coinciding with the Messinian Stage. Strong selective pressures from climate changes and the expansion of moun- tainous regions during this period are suggested to explain the adaptation to drought, cold or disturbed environments observed in many Campanula species. Several independent long-distance dispersal events to North America are inferred within the Rapunculus clade, which seem to be related to high ploidy levels. Ó 2009 Elsevier Inc.

This is developed (e.g., Ree et al., 2005; Moore et al., in press; Ree and reflected in the plethora of new methods developed to infer the Smith, 2008; Sanmartín et al., 2008). Current analytical methods, spatial and temporal evolution of organisms (Sanderson, 2002; including the widely popular dispersal–vicariance analysis method Thorne and Kishino, 2002; Ree et al., 2005; Drummond et al., (DIVA, Ronquist, 1996, 1997), reconstruct biogeographic patterns 2006).
