    Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2016) 43, 591–602 ORIGINAL Allopatric speciation with little niche ARTICLE divergence is common among alpine Primulaceae Florian C. Boucher1*, Niklaus E. Zimmermann2,3 and Elena Conti1 1Institute of Systematic Botany, University of ABSTRACT Zurich,€ 8008 Zurich,€ Switzerland, 2Dynamic Aim Despite the accumulation of cases describing fast radiations of alpine Macroecology, Swiss Federal Research plants, we still have limited understanding of the drivers of speciation in alpine Institute WSL, 8903 Birmensdorf, Switzerland, 3Department of Environmental floras and of the precise the timing of their diversification. Here, we investi- Systems Science, Swiss Federal Institute of gated spatial and temporal patterns of speciation in three groups of alpine Technology ETH, CH-8092 Zurich,€ Primulaceae. Switzerland Location Mountains of the European Alpine System. Methods We built a new phylogeny of Primulaceae including all species in three focal groups: Androsace sect. Aretia, Primula sect. Auricula and Soldanella. Combining phylogenetic information with a detailed climatic data set, we investigated patterns of range and ecological overlap between sister-species using an approach that takes phylogenetic uncertainty into account. Finally, we investigated temporal trajectories of diversification in the three focal groups. Results We found that a large majority of sister-species pairs in the three groups are strictly allopatric and show little differences in substrate and cli- matic preferences, a result that was robust to phylogenetic uncertainty. While rates of diversification have remained constant in Soldanella, both Androsace sect. Aretia and Primula sect. Auricula showed decreased diversification rates in the Pleistocene compared to previous geological epochs. Main conclusions Allopatric speciation with little niche divergence appears to have been by far the most common mode of speciation across the three groups studied.

Search for "Wesley" at: <http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/browse-author> For more details and a summary of the patterns found in the data, see the Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society for an article based on this species list, published in 2008, entitled "The vascular plant diversity of the Finger Lakes region of central New York State: changes in the 1800s and 1900s," by P.L. Marks, F.R. Wesley, & S. Gardescu. For a link to the Journal's 2008 issues and abstracts, go to: <http://www.torreybotanical.org/journal.html> The following list of vascular plants includes native and non-native species that occur in a multi-county area in central New York State (see map below). We have called this the "Cayuga Region," as it includes the "Cayuga Quadrangle" of the flora of Clausen (1949) and the "Cayuga Lake Basin" of earlier floras (Dudley 1886, Wiegand & Eames 1926). A single set of modern species concepts was used, to correct for variations in nomenclature among the floras. Species found only under cultivation are not included. SPECIES NAMES are in alphabetical order, within major group. NATIVE/NOT is with respect to the Cayuga Region. For non-natives, WHEN HERE is the year by which the species had first established i the region, based on the floras of Dudley (1886), Wiegand & Eames (1926), Clausen (1949), and Wesley (2005; unpublished).
