Beringia (eastern Asia, Alaska, northwest Canada) has been a land‐bridge dispersal route between Asia and North America intermittently since the Mesozoic Era. The Quaternary, the most recent period of exchange, is characterized by large, geologically rapid climate fluctuations and sea‐level changes that alternately expose and inundate the land‐bridge region. Insights into how Quaternary land‐bridge geography has controlled species exchange and assembly of the North American flora comes from focusing on a restricted community with narrow ecological tolerances: species that are today restricted to isolated steppe habitats (dry grasslands) in the Subarctic. We evaluated (i) potential controls over current spatial distributions of steppe plants and their pollinators in Alaska and Yukon and (ii) their ecological distributions in relation to potential biogeographic histories. Taxa present in North America that are disjunct from Asia tended to have larger altitudinal ranges (tolerating colder temperatures) than taxa disjunct from farther south in North America, which were largely restricted to the warmest, lowest‐elevation sites. Ecological findings support the following biogeographic scenarios. Migration from Asia via the land‐bridge occurred during Quaternary glacial periods when conditions were colder and drier than today. While a corridor for migration of cold‐tolerant species of cold steppe and tundra, the land bridge acted as a filter that excluded warmth‐demanding species. Migration from North America occurred under warm, dry interglacial conditions; thermophilous North American disjuncts taking this route may have long histories in Beringia, or they may have migrated recently during the relatively warm and dry early Holocene, when forest cover was incomplete. 相似文献

The Middle Asian Element in the Southern Rocky Mountain Flora of the western United States: a critical biogeographical review 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
William A. Weber 《Journal of Biogeography》2003,30(5):649-685
Aim Presentation of an hypothesis suggesting that the extraordinarily similarity of the Russian Altai and the American Southern Rocky Mountain Flora represents an Oroboreal Flora; that had to have had an essential continuity across the northern part of the world in the Tertiary period, constituting a highland and steppe component of the better‐known Arcto‐Tertiary Flora of eastern and far‐western North America and eastern Asia. Location North America and Middle (Altai) Asia. Methods Summarization of the author's field and herbarium studies of whole floras over a period of over 60 years, consisting of successive specializations in vascular plants, lichens, and bryophytes. Main conclusions (1) The modern alpine and associated marginal steppe and montane floras contain taxa of Tertiary age. (2) The floras of the southern mountains antedate those of the present‐day Arctic. (3) The Middle Asiatic and the North American floras once enjoyed a contiguous existence over a broad area involving connections between North America and Asia across the North Pole by way of Greenland. Their present disjunctions are products of extinction and attrition of ranges, not of long‐distance migration or dispersal mechanisms. (4) North‐eastern North American disjunctions of so‐called Cordilleran species (the Nunatak hypothesis) need not require explanations involving long‐distance dispersal or migration, but represent relictual populations of the once widely distributed Oroboreal flora. 相似文献

This review shows a close biogeographic connection between eastern Asia and western North America from the late Cretaceous to the late Neogene in major lineages of vascular plants (flowering plants, gymnosperms, ferns and lycophytes). Of the eastern Asian–North American disjuncts, conifers exhibit a high proportion of disjuncts between eastern Asia and western North America. Several lineages of ferns also show a recent disjunct pattern in the two areas. In flowering plants, the pattern is commonly shown in temperate elements between northeastern Asia and northwestern North America, as well as elements of the relict boreotropical and Neogene mesophytic and coniferous floras. The many cases of intercontinental biogeographic disjunctions between eastern Asia and western North America in plants supported by recent phylogenetic analyses highlight the importance of the Bering land bridge and/or the plant migrations across the Beringian region from the late Cretaceous to the late Neogene, especially during the Miocene. The Beringian region has permitted the filtering and migration of certain plant taxa since the Pliocene after the opening of the Bering Strait, as many conspecific taxa or closely related species occur on both sides of Beringia. 相似文献

Species richness in plant genera disjunct between temperate eastern Asia and North America 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The species richness of 109 amphi-Pacific disjunct genera was examined in eastern Asia and North America. Although the entire flora of eastern Asia contains approximately one-third more species than that of North America, the difference in species richness among disjunct taxa is less. When woody and herbaceous genera are considered separately, the former exhibit a strong diversity bias favouring eastern Asia whereas there is no significant difference in diversity between continents among herbaceous genera. This result is not due to habitat differences between woody and herbaceous genera, because the disjunct herbs inhabit primarily moist forests and woodlands. This result is also not related to relative phylogenetic advancement, even though older major lineages of plants tend to have a predominance of woody taxa. Woody genera are distributed in lower latitudes than herbaceous genera on both continents, and both woody and herbaceous genera are distributed in lower latitudes in eastern Asia than in North America. The North American temperate flora is primarily a relict of a flora form 7 more widespread throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Contemporary patterns of diversity suggest that the effects of climate changes in the late Tertiary were less severe in eastern Asia and promoted diversification, but were more severe in North America and may have caused widespread extinction. The difference in the effect of climate change on diversity in herbaceous and woody lineages reflects the different ecological relationships of species having these contrasting life forms. Clearly, the contemporary floras of eastern Asia and North America bear the imprint of history and emphasize the important interface between ecological relationships and evolutionary responses. 相似文献

The arcto‐Tertiary relictual flora is comprised of many genera that occur non‐contiguously in the temperate zones of eastern Asia, Europe, eastern North America, and western North America. Within each distributional area, species are typically endemic and may thus be widely separated from closely related species within the other areas. It is widely accepted that this common pattern of distribution resulted from of the fragmentation of a once more‐continuous arcto‐Tertiary forest. The historical biogeographic events leading to the present‐day disjunction have often been investigated using a phylogenetic approach. Limitations to these previous studies have included phylogenetic uncertainty and uncertainty in ancestral range reconstructions. However, the recently described Bayes‐DIVA method handles both types of uncertainty. Thus, we used Bayes‐DIVA analysis to reconstruct the stem lineage distributions for 185 endemic lineages from 23 disjunct genera representing 17 vascular plant families. In particular, we asked whether endemic lineages within each of the four distributional areas more often evolved from (1) widespread ancestors, (2) ancestors dispersed from other areas, or (3) endemic ancestors. We also considered which of these three biogeographic mechanisms may best explain the origins of arcto‐Tertiary disjunct endemics in the neotropics. Our results show that eastern Asian endemics more often evolved from endemic ancestors compared to endemics in Europe and eastern and western North America. Present‐day endemic lineages in the latter areas more often arose from widespread ancestors. Our results also provide anecdotal evidence for the importance of dispersal in the biogeographic origins of arcto‐Tertiary species endemic in the neotropics. 相似文献

1. Based upon the analyses in the floristic elements of the three genera (Suaeda,
Salsola and Zygophyllum) in different regions we can see that the genesis of our desert
floras in these regions is very much diversified. The flora of Songaria is similar to that
of the Middle Asia, while the Hosi Corridor seems to be a transitional area very close to
Alashan and also related to the Tarim Basin in floristic elements. Thus, we may classify
the desert floras into three parts: the flora of Songaria, of Alashan including the Hosi
Corridor and of the Tarim Basin including the Tsaidam Basin. The ages and approaches in their formation are different.
2. There are plenty species but no or rare endemics in Songaria. In spring there
are a number of ephemeral plants. The variation of aspect is evident. The vegetation
cover is abundant. The floristic elements are developed from the flora of Middle Asia
and it was formed in Quaternary period.
3. The floristic elements of the Tarim Basin are poor, but there are not few endemics and the distribution of the endemics is much limited. They are of the characteristics of relic species. Therefore it was formed in the Tertiary period and developed
in Quaternary period. The elements are related to the Mediterranean flora.
4. There are a large number of endemics and many endemic monotypie genera in
Alashan. They represent the flora formed in Tertiary period. Although it is of a special
style, it relates both to the Middle-Asian and the Mediterranean flora.
5. The historic causes for the formation of the different floras lie chiefly on: (1)
The rise of the Tibetan plateau and mountains strongly changed the climatic and edaphic
conditions and in the long course of evolution some species survived or even developed,
while the others deteriorated or even died out from the flora. (2) Because the circumstances of transgression or regression of the Tethys were different in these regions. (3)
The mountain-making movement, the transgression and regression and the fluence of
glaciation, all the mutation of these associated factors modified the climatic zonation and
then the plant species changes followed, new species formed and migration of floristie
elements occurred. (4) Songaria is the nearest region to the then Sibirian glacier, so the
frozen injury to the flora might be the greatest. (5) In the Glacial period the descension
of snow line in Songaria was greater than that of the Tarim Basin, so the frozen injurymight be greater. 相似文献

The region effect on mesoscale plant species richness between eastern Asia and eastern North America 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The greater number of plant species in temperate eastern Asia compared to eastern North America has been ascribed to both local environment and regional characteristics, but the relative contributions of each have not been resolved. In this analysis, we related species richness of flowering plants in mesoscale floras (<104 km2 ) dominated by temperate forest vegetation to area, elevation, latitude, and several climate variables. When analyses were conducted separately within each region, area and, in eastern Asia, elevation, were the primary determinants of species richness. It appears that the number of species in mesic temperate floras within these regions is largely unrelated to the relatively narrow range of local climate factors associated with these floras. Analysis of covariance of the logarithm of species richness with the logarithm of area (b=0.148) and climate measurements as independent variables revealed a region effect, with species richness in eastern Asia exceeding that in eastern North America by 0.294 log10 units, or a factor of 2.0. Similar regional differences in species richness were apparent in floras compiled from larger areas. Understanding differences in plant species richness between regions requires consideration of regional influences, whose effects should be tested in comparative analyses based on floristic surveys of ecologically characterized small areas. 相似文献

Data from four DNA regions (rbcL, matK, 26S rDNA, and ITS) as well as extant and fossil morphology were used to reconstruct the phylogeny and biogeographic history of an intercontinentally disjunct plant group, the cornelian cherries of Cornus (dogwoods). The study tests previous hypotheses on the relative roles of two Tertiary land bridges, the North Atlantic land bridge (NALB) and the Bering land bridge (BLB), in plant migration across continents. Three approaches, the Bayesian, nonparametric rate smoothing (NPRS), and penalized likelihood (PL) methods, were employed to estimate the times of geographic isolations of species. Dispersal and vicariance analysis (DIVA) was performed to infer the sequence and directionality of biogeographic pathways. Results of phylogenetic analyses suggest that among the six living species, C. sessilis from western North America represents the oldest lineage, followed by C. volkensii from Africa. The four Eurasian species form a clade consisting of two sister pairs, C. mas-C. officinalis and C. chinensis-C. eydeana. Results of DIVA and data from fossils and molecular dating indicate that the cornelian cherry subgroup arose in Europe as early as the Paleocene. Fossils confirm that the group was present in North America by the late Paleocene, consistent with the DIVA predictions that, by the end of the Eocene, it had diversified into several species and expanded its distribution to North America via the NALB and to Africa via the last direct connection between Eurasia and Africa prior to the Miocene, or via long-distance dispersal. The cornelian cherries in eastern Asia appear to be derived from two independent dispersal events from Europe. These events are inferred to have occurred during the Oligocene and Miocene. This study supports the hypothesis that the NALB served as an important land bridge connecting the North American and European floras, as well as connecting American and African floras via Europe during the early Tertiary. 相似文献

Tundra should be designated as the vegetation in the Arctic treeless
area beyond treeline latitudinally, and as the vegetation in alpine treeless areas
above treeline which are greatly similar to the Arctic one not only in environment
but also in floristic composition and phyto-community. Tundras are limited to the
Northern Hemisphere, and is mainly distributed in the circumpolar region (over
95% out of the total). Only a small part of tundra vegetations is scattered in the
alpine treeless areas in the middle latitudinal region of the Northern Hemisphere,
and is called the alpine tundra and/or mountain tundra. The alpine tundra is
greatly similar to the Arctic tundra not only in environment features and vegetation appearance, but in flora as well. Actually, nowaday alpine tundra is
directly developed from the remnant segments of the Arctic tundra which migrated
southwards to the middle latitudinal region of the Northern Hemisphere in the glacial period of the last Ice-age in the Pleistocene, and later moved up to the alpine
areas in the Holocene. The alpine tundras of the Changbai Mountain and Rocky
Mountains (middle section)are located on the southern fringes of the tundras in
Eastern Asia and Western North America respectively.
By means of comparative analyses of the vascular floras of the Chukotka (in
NE. Asia) Arctic tundra and Alaska (in NW. America) Arctic tundra
(transberingian comparison), the Changbai Mountain (in E. Asia) alpine tundra
and Rocky Mountains(in W. North America) alpine tundra( transpacific
comparison), and the alpine tundras and the arctic tundras in E. Asia and W.
North America, the results show as follows:
(1) Because of the fact that Chukotka and Alaska not only share 411
species (making up 83% of the former total species and 72% of the latter total
species), but also have many endemic species with a 'Chukotka-Alaska'
discontinuous distribution pattern, while there are only 268 species shared by the
Arctic tundras of Chukotka and East Siberia and 332 species shared by the Arctic
tundras of Alaska and Canada, it seems reasonable to consider the Arctic tundras
of Chukotka and Alaska as one floristic province-the Beringian Floristic
Province. The existence of the Beringian Floristic Province could at least be
traced back to 18,000 B. P. in the Pleistocene.
(2) There is a close relationship between the alpine tundras of Eastern Asia
and Western North America. This relationship was built up by means of the
Bering Land Bridge in Ice-age.
(3) In Eastern Asia, 42% species out of the total in the alpine tundra of
Changbai Mountains are shared with the Arctic tundra of Chukotka; and in
Western North America, 48.9% species out of the total in the alpine tundra of
Rocky Mountains (middle section) are shared with the Arctic tundra of Alaska.
Therefore, the floristic relationships of the alpine tundras and the Arctic tundras
(especially Beringian Arctic tundra) in Eastern Asia and Western North America
are very close.
(4) The Bering Land Bridge in the Pleistocene became an exchange
passageway of the floras between Eastern Asia and Western North America probably only for their Arctic tundra species, but not for the forest tree species nearby
the Arctic treeline.Key words Floristics; Arctic tundra; Alpine tundra; Chukotka; Alaska; Changbai Mountains; Rocky Mountains; Eastern Asia; Western North America Scutcheon noninitial, exuvial touchiness alitizing.

A comparison of the taxonomic richness of temperate plants in East Asia and North America 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Qian H 《American journal of botany》2002,89(11):1818-1825
The taxonomic richness of seed plants at different taxonomic levels was compared between temperate East Asia and North America at both continental and semi-continental scales. In each comparison, land area and latitude range were adjusted to a comparable level between the two continental regions. East Asia is significantly more diverse than North America. In general, differences in taxonomic diversity arise at and below the genus level. At the continental scale, East Asia has 1.3 and 1.5 times as many genera and species, respectively, as North America. The northern part of East Asia has 1.1 times as many species as the northern part of North America. At the genus level, the northern part of East Asia is less diverse than the northern part of North America by a factor of 0.94. This pattern indicates that the diversity bias between the two continental regions results from the flora of southern East Asia. The diversity differences between East Asia and North America are not homogenously distributed across different plant groups. At the species level, East Asia had significantly more species than expected in magnoliids, alismatids, Liliidae, ranunculids, and rosids and had significantly less species in the Commelinidae, Caryophyllidae, and euasterids than North America. 相似文献

Numbers of species and genera,endemic genera,extant primitive genera,relationship and distribution patterns of presently living Chenopodiaceae(two subfamilies,12 tribes,and 118 genera)are analyzed and compared for eight distributional areas,namely central Asia,Europe,the Mediterranean region,Africa,North America,South America, Australia and East Asia.
The Central Asia,where the number of genera and diversity of taxa are greater than in other areas,appears to be the center of distribution of extant Chenopodiaceae.North America and Australia are two secondary centers of distribution.
Eurasia has 11 tribes out of the 12,a total of 70 genera of extant chenopodiaceous plants,and it contains the most primitive genera of every tribe. Archiatriplex of Atripliceae,Hablitzia of Hablitzeae,Corispermum of Corispermeae,Camphorosma of Camphorosmaea,Kalidium of Salicornieae,Polecnemum of Polycnemeae,Alexandra of Suaedeae,and Nanophyton of Salsoleae,are all found in Eurasia,The Beteae is an Eurasian endemic tribe,demonstrating the antiquity of the Chenopodiaceae flora of Eurasia.Hence,Eurasia is likely the place of origin of chenopodiaceous plants.
The presence of chenopodiaceous plants is correlated with an arid climate.During the Cretaceous Period,most places of the continent of Eurasia were occupied by the ancient precursor to the Mediterranean,the Tethys Sea.At that time the area of the Tethys Sea had a dry and warm climate.Therefore,primitive Chenopodiaceae were likely present on the beaches of this ancient land.This arid climatic condition resulted in differentiation of the tribes Chenopodieae,Atripliceae,Comphorosmeae,Salicornieae,etc.,the main primitive tribes of the subfamily Cyclolobeae. Then following continental drift and the Laurasian and Gondwanan disintegration, the Chenopodiaceae were brought to every continent to propagate and develop, and experience the vicissitudes of climates, forming the main characteristics and distribution patterns of recent continental floras.
The tribes Atripliceae, Chenopodieae, Camphorosmeae, and Salicornieae of recent Chenopodiaceae in Eurasia, North America, South America, southern Africa, and Australia all became strongly differentiated. However, Australia and South America, have no genera of Spirolobeae except for a few maritime Suaeda species. The Salsoleae and Suaedeae have not arrived in Australia and South America, which indicates that the subfamily Spirolobeae developed in Eurasia after Australia separated from the ancient South America-Africa continent, and South America had left Africa. The endemic tribe of North America, the tribe Sarcobateae, has a origin different from the tribes Salsoleae and Suaedeae of
the subfamily Spirolobeae. Sarcobateae flowers diverged into unisexuality and absence of bractlets. Clearly they originated in North America after North America had left the Eurasian continent. North America and southern Africa have a few species of Salsola, but none of them have become very much differentiated or developed, so they must have arrived through overland migration across ancient continental connections. India has no southern African Chenopodiaceae floristic components except for a few maritime taxa, which shows that when the Indian subcontinent left Africa in the Triassic period, the Chenopodiaceae had
not yet developed in Africa. Therefore, the early Cretaceous Period about 120 million years ago, when the ancient Gondwanan and Laurasian continents disintegrated, could have been the time of origin of Chenopodiaceae plants.The Chinese flora of Chenopodiaceae is a part of Chenopodiaceae flora of central Asia. Cornulaca alaschnica was discovered from Gansu, China, showing that the Chinese Chenopodiaceae flora certainly has contact with the Mediterranean Chenopodiaceae flora. The contact of southeastern China with the Australia Chenopodiaceae flora, however, is very weak. 相似文献

The present paper deals with a collection of plant fossils from the Wuyun Group of Heilongjiang Province. These fossils belong to 28 families, 39 genera
and 53 species. The flora is composed of 7 species of pteridophytes, 8 of conifers and 37
of angiosperms. All have been fully described, of which ten are new species.
Most elements of this flora are subtropic or warm-temperate, with only a few of
them are temperate ones. The flora consists of conifers and broad-leaved trees adapted
to humid warm-temperate or subtropic climate.
With the physiognomy of leaves, 40 per cent of them are of entire margin, and most
are medium-sized, with some megaphyllous. The nervation is mostly palmate. These
characters indicate that the climate was warm-temperate or subtropic.
Among 35 genera known from the Late Cretaceous of East Asia, 27 are also found
in North America, which indicates that the floristic relationship between East Asia and
North Americal was closer at that time than it is now. Therefore the number of
genera in common has been decreasing through the age, because these two regions have
been detached from each other since the late Eocene, as a result of continental drift.
Only some relic forms left on both sides, and only 4.1% of genera are common to both
continents. After the early Tertiary the floras of East Asia and North America have
been developing independently.
The Chinese flora of the Late Cretaceous may be divided into three Zones from the
north to the south: (1) warm temperate-subtropic zone, rich in Metasequoia, Ginkgo,

The Wuyun flora is considered closely related to the Chajiayang Group and SikhoteAlin flora of USSR, with 15 genera in common and also related to the Kuji flora of
Japan (Cenonian), with 11 genera in common. It is interesting to note that 11 genera
are also found in North America (Canada and Alaska) of the Late Cretaceous. The palynological assemblage of the Wuyun flora is closely related to Minshui flora of the Souliao Basin, 15 genera being common to the both. Seventy per cent of megafossils of
the Wuyun flora have become extinct, which seems to show that the age of the flora is
older than Paleocene and is assigned to the Latest Late Crataceous (Maestrichtian-Dani-an). 相似文献

The biogeographic affinities of the Cretaceous and early Tertiary angiosperm floras of the North American area (which includes Meso-America, and the Greater Antilles) have been the subject of considerable interest. Although recent treatments of isolated taxa have shown affinities between North American, European, east Asian and Neotropic floras, the relationships have not been quantified. This study compiles the records of fossils whose familial relationships seem secure. This provides a carefully culled, and uniformly presented review of the Cretaceous and Paleogene record from 1950 to 1989 and supplements LaMotte (1950). A subset of these records, which showed compelling evidence of subfamilial relationships, was analyzed to quantify the relationships of the Cretaceous, Paleocene, Eocene and Oligocene floras to other regions. The analysis suggests that for the entire period 24% of the fossil species had affinities with extant taxa from the Northern Hemisphere; 10% with taxa from the Northern Hemisphere that have a few species in South America; 17% with taxa from Eurasia; 3% with taxa with a disjunct Eurasian-South American pattern; 19% with taxa from South America and/or Africa; 8% with taxa from South America and/or Africa that have an important sister group in southeast Asia; 5% with taxa from the Old World; and 13% with taxa having other distribution patterns. Those fossils with affinities to Laurasian taxa are mostly found in the northern and western portions of the North American area. The fossils with affinities to South American and/or African taxa are found in the southern portions of North America, Meso-America, and the Greater Antilles. The taxa with disjunct distributions show both patterns. These patterns suggest that during this time there were wide-spread temperate elements, found throughout Laurasia; Boreotropical flora elements, distributed in North America, Europe and along the Tethys seaway to southeast Asia; and West Gondwana elements which show dispersion from South America across the proto-Caribbean. The paleobotanical data are compatible with current geological, paleontological and biogeographical studies. 相似文献

藜科植物的起源、分化和地理分布 总被引:27,自引:0,他引:27
全球藜科植物共约130属1500余种,广泛分布于欧亚大陆、南北美洲、非洲和大洋洲的半干旱及盐碱地区。它基本上是一个温带科,对亚热带和寒温带也有一定的适应性。本文分析了该科包含的1l族的系统位置和分布式样,以及各个属的分布区,提出中亚区是现存藜科植物的分布中心,原始的藜科植物在古地中海的东岸即华夏陆台(或中国的西南部)发生,然后向干旱的古地中海沿岸迁移、分化,产生了环胚亚科主要族的原始类群;起源的时间可能在白垩纪初,冈瓦纳古陆和劳亚古陆进一步解体的时期。文章对其迁移途径及现代分布式样形成的原因进行了讨论。 相似文献
