Tritrophic relationships.
<p><i>Phaseolus species</i>: Depicted at the top of the figure are three wild bean species sorted into categories based on the other beans found in their immediate environment. <i>Phaseolus lunatus</i> with a red background is found on the far left with its sympatric partner, <i>P</i>. <i>vulgaris</i> in green. To their right, <i>P</i>. <i>vulgaris</i> (again in green) is depicted alone as it is found at median altitudes to be in allopatry. This is followed by <i>P</i>. <i>vulgaris</i> (in green) and <i>P</i>. <i>coccineus</i> (in blue) found in sympatry and finally <i>P</i>. <i>coccineus</i> (in blue) alone to represent where it is found in allopatry. <i>Altitude range</i>: Directly beneath these is an altitude measure on the y-axis. The bars indicate the range of altitudes within which each of the above categories was collected. <i>Bruchine species</i>: Beneath this are the most common bruchine beetle speces that attack each one of the <i>Phaseolus</i> categories. <i>Horismenus profile</i>: Photos on the left identify the three species of described <i>Horismenus</i> wasp found emerging from bean seeds. Blue bars indicate emergence from the first field season (2006–7) and pink bars indicate emergence from the second field season (2007–8). Numbers below in gray are the number of emerging wasps from that category for that season. The pink and blue bars are the proportions of each wasp species to emerge from that category in each season and will all add to 1.</p

Data_Sheet_1_Biogeography and Ecological Diversification of a Mayfly Clade in New Guinea.PDF
Understanding processes that have driven the extraordinary high level of biodiversity in the tropics is a long-standing question in biology. Here we try to assess whether the large lineage richness found in a New Guinean clade of mayflies (Ephemeroptera), namely the Thraulus group (Leptophlebiidae) could be associated with the recent orogenic processes, by applying a combination of phylogenetic, biogeographic and ecological shift analyses. New Guinean representatives of the Thraulus group appear monophyletic, with the possible exception of a weakly-supported early-diverging clade from the Sunda Islands. Dating analyses suggest an Eocene origin of the Thraulus group, predating by several million years current knowledge on the origin of other New Guinean aquatic organisms. Biogeographic inferences indicate that 27 of the 28 inferred dispersals (96.4%) occurred during the Eocene, Oligocene and Miocene, while only one dispersal (3.6%) took place during the Pliocene-Pleistocene. This result contrasts with the higher number of altitudinal shifts (15 of 22; 68.2%) inferred during the Pliocene-Pleistocene. Our study illustrates the role played by—potentially ecological—diversification along the elevation gradient in a time period concomitant with the establishment of high-altitude ecological niches, i.e., during orogenesis of the central New Guinean mountain range. This process might have taken over the previous main mode of diversification at work, characterized by dispersal and vicariance, by driving lineage divergence of New Guinean Leptophlebiidae across a wide array of habitats along the elevation gradient. Additional studies on organisms spanning the same elevation range as Thraulus mayflies in the tropics are needed to evaluate the potential role of the ecological opportunity or taxon cycles hypotheses in partly explaining the latitudinal diversity gradient.</p
