The Caribbean region includes a geologically complex mix of islands, which have served as a backdrop for some
significant studies of biogeography, mostly with vertebrates. Here, we use the tropical/subtropical spider genus
Selenops (Selenopidae) to obtain a finer resolution of the role of geology in shaping patterns of species diversity.
We obtained a broad geographic sample from over 200 localities from both the islands and American mainland.
DNA sequence data were generated for three mitochondrial genes and one nuclear gene for eleven outgroup taxa
and nearly 60 selenopid species. Phylogenetic analysis of the data revealed several biogeographic patterns common
to other lineages that have diversified in the region, the most significant being: (1) a distinct biogeographic break
between Northern and Southern Lesser Antilles, although with a slight shift in the location of the disjunction; (2)
diversification within the islands of Jamaica and Hispaniola; (3) higher diversity of species in the Greater Antilles
relative to the Lesser Antilles. However, a strikingly unique pattern in Caribbean Selenops is that Cuban species
are not basal in the Caribbean clade. Analyses to test competing hypotheses of vicariance and dispersal support
colonization through GAARlandia, an Eocene–Oligocene land span extending from South America to the Greater
Antilles, rather than over-water dispersal. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the

INTRODUCTION
Remote islands form the basis for many biological
studies because of their ability to act as a laboratory,
with repeated sets of ecological and/or evolutionary
experiments occurring within a circumscribed time
frame (Cronk, 1997; Losos et al., 1998; Gillespie &
Roderick, 2002; Gillespie, 2004; Ricklefs & Bermingham, 2008). While the Hawaiian Islands have served
as a model system for processes of in situ diversification, the long history of studies on the biota of the
Caribbean has provided some of the most important

insights into the complex interaction between colonization and diversification. In particular, the Caribbean has served as the setting for the establishment
of most of the central tenets in the equilibrium theory
of island biogeography (Munroe, 1948), the arguments being formulated independently by MacArthur
and Wilson (1963, 1967) much later (Lomolino &
Brown, 2009). More recent research on the islands
has allowed an understanding of the interplay
between ecological and evolutionary processes in
shaping species diversity (Losos & Schluter, 2000;
Schoener, Spiller & Losos, 2001).
The primary feature of the Caribbean region that
makes it particularly useful for examining the interaction between colonization and diversification is its

long and complex geological history. The Caribbean
Basin began forming nearly 140 Mya. Islands in the
basin consist of four different types: (1) land-bridge
islands which were connected to each other or to the
mainland at times of lower sea level; (2) continental
islands which broke off from the mainland through
tectonic displacement; (3) uplifted limestone islands;
and (4) volcanic islands (MacPhee & Iturralde-Vinent,
2005; Robertson, 2009). Despite their limited isolation, the age and geologic complexity of the area have
provided ‘well-defined paths of entry by which immigrants may reach’ the islands (Munroe, 1948). Moreover, the islands have served as the setting for
adaptive radiation among lineages with limited dispersal ability, in particular lizards of the genus Anolis
(Losos, 1992, 1994, 2009), frogs of the genus Eleutherodactylus (Hedges, 1989; Heinicke, Duellman &
Hedges, 2007), some lineages of insects [e.g. beetles
(Liebherr, 1988b), flies (Wilder & Hollocher, 2003)]
and plants [e.g. lineages within the Melastomaceae
(Michelangeli et al., 2008) and Asteraceae (FranciscoOrtega et al., 2008)]. Although studies to date have
provided insights into how the individual lineages
have colonized and subsequently diversified within
the island system, notable controversies remain,
including the source of colonists and the means by
which they colonized the islands, biogeographic patterns within lineages and whether these patterns
might be expected to be shared across multiple lineages (Guyer & Savage, 1986; Williams, 1989;
Hedges, Hass & Maxon, 1992; Crother & Guyer, 1996;
Hedges, 1996a,b).
A particular focus of debate has been the role of
vicariance vs. dispersal in shaping the Caribbean
biota. Hedges and colleagues (Hedges et al., 1992;
Hedges, 1996a,b; Hedges & Heinicke, 2007; Heinicke
et al., 2007), working with herpetofauna, have suggested that the absence of lineages older than the
break-up of the proto-Antilles (a contiguous land
mass between North and South America) precludes a
vicariant origin and they argue for the initial colonization of most taxa via over-water dispersal on
flotsam. A similarly dominant role for dispersal has
been suggested for multiple lineages of plants, such
as Miconieae (Michelangeli et al., 2008). In contrast,
other studies have suggested that vicariance has
played a larger role than dispersal in the initial
colonization of the Caribbean; for example, in lizards
(Crother & Guyer, 1996; Iturralde-Vinent & MacPhee,
1999; MacPhee & Iturralde-Vinent, 2005) and some
plants [e.g. Euphorbiaceae (van Ee et al., 2008)].
A related controversy focuses on the hypothesis of
GAARlandia (Greater Antilles + Aves Ridge), first
proposed by Iturralde-Vinent & MacPhee (1999), who
used geological data and fossil evidence to demonstrate the likely existence of a land span connecting
289
South America to the Greater Antilles during the
Eocene–Oligocene transition 35–33 Mya. The land
span, although probably short-lived, may have provided an avenue for terrestrial organisms to colonize
the Greater Antilles from South America. Among
mammals, molecular phylogenies of primates and
hystricognath rodents are consistent with the model,
while sloths and insectivorans are not (Dávalos,
2004). The pattern in plants is similarly mixed.
Molecular phylogenetic data from the genera Croton
(Euphorbiaceae) (van Ee et al., 2008) and Styrax (Styracaceae) (Fritsch, 2003) show that the timing of
divergence of lineages is consistent with the GAARlandia hypothesis. However, similar data from
endemic legume radiations in the Greater Antilles,
although initially thought to indicate ancient splitting
between lineages consistent with the GAARlandia
hypothesis (Lavin et al., 2001), show more recent
diversification (Lavin & Beyra-Matos, 2008), which is
likely to hold also for lineages of Asteraceae
(Francisco-Ortega et al., 2008).
Clearly, the timing and frequency of dispersal and
vicariance, and the interplay between the two, varies
across biotic assemblages. The challenge, then, is to
understand the circumstances dictating the relative
roles of each and how they interact. Arthropods,
because they can provide a fine-scale resolution of
biogeographic patterns (Ferrier et al, 2004), are ideal
candidates for elucidating the nature of these relationships. Although the biogeography of terrestrial
invertebrates in the Caribbean has been examined in
some detail (see Liebherr, 1988a and chapters
therein), few recent studies have been attempted,
with little molecular information on the timing and
nature of the interplay between colonization and
diversification. However, there are some notable
exceptions (Davies & Bermingham, 2002; Wilder &
Hollocher, 2003; Brisson, Wilder & Hollocher, 2006).
In particular, recent studies on spiders (Sicariidae:
Loxosceles) support the GAARlandia hypothesis in the
colonization of the lineage of North from South
America (Binford et al., 2008), while crickets show a
more mixed pattern of both vicariance and dispersal,
coupled with intra-island diversification (Oneal,
2009).
In this study, we combine molecular and morphological methods to examine the phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic history of the cursorial and
dispersal-limited spider genus Selenops (Araneae:
Selenopidae) in the Caribbean. These primarily tropical and subtropical spiders (Muma, 1953; Corronca,
1998; Alayón, 2005) are distinctive in that they are
extremely dorsoventrally flattened and exceedingly
fast. They are found in a variety of habitats and
microhabitats (Crews, Wienskoski & Gillespie, 2008).
Although the genera and species groups have

undergone several revisions (Muma, 1953; Corronca,
1998; Alayón, 2005), there is no phylogenetic framework for the family or for any of the component
genera. They were chosen for the current study
because of their high diversity and abundance in the
Caribbean, where they occur in both the Greater and
Lesser Antilles, as well as on the adjacent mainland
(southern North America and throughout South
America) (Muma, 1953; Crews, 2005; Crews et al.,
2008, 2009;) (Figs 1, 2). Accordingly, they provide the
potential to reveal fine-scale biogeographic patterns
across the islands of the Caribbean. The current
study uses the genus to infer the relative importance
of the following two processes in dictating the biogeographic history of the lineage in the Caribbean: (1)
the frequency of colonization to the Caribbean region
from a mainland source and between islands within
the Caribbean; and (2) whether within-island diversification has occurred through a single radiation or
through dispersal and multiple radiations. We also
test the hypotheses of dispersal and vicariance in the
framework of the GAARlandia hypothesis and likelihood biogeographic analysis.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
TAXON SAMPLING
A comprehensive geographic sample of the genus was
obtained from the Caribbean region, including most
islands and several sites throughout Mexico, Central
America and the South American mainland (see also
Supporting Information, Figs S1, S2). Political reasons
prohibited us from obtaining permits to collect several
endemic species from Cuba and the single species from
Navassa Island. The implications for these omissions
are discussed at the end of this paper. Outgroups
included other genera in the family Selenopidae from
all major geographic locations where the family is
found, in particular the type of the genus (Selenops
radiatus Latreille) from Africa, Selenops bursarius
Karsch from Japan, Selenops montigenus Simon from
Nepal/India and representatives of the three other
genera described from Africa (six species of Anyphops,
one species of Hovops and one species of Garcorops),
as well as an undescribed Australian genus. Chosen
representatives outside of the family include a broad
sample of eight genera from two families, the

Sparassidae and the Ctenidae, and were based on
unpublished data (M. Ramirez, pers. comm.) (Table 4).
The genus Selenops has also been found in Dominican amber and one of these specimens is an adult
male, described by Schawaller (1984) as Selenops
beynai. The specimen was scanned using X-ray computed tomography, as in Penney et al. (2007);
however, the poor preservation of the genitalia prohibited even tentative incorporation into the phylogenetic framework.
MOLECULAR
METHODS
Four gene fragments were amplified – three mitochondrial [cytochrome oxidase I (CO1), 16S ribosomal DNA
(16S) and the intervening leucine tRNA and NADH
dehydrogenase I (ND1)] and one nuclear [histone 3a
(H3)] (see Table 1). The respective lengths of the
amplification products were ~850, ~800 and ~330 base
pairs (bp). DNA sequences can be found on GenBank
(GU109549–GU110746, HM575429–HM576623, and
HM576658). These markers were chosen as they have
become a standard in spider molecular phylogenetics,
with several primers available for each gene (Hedin &
Maddison, 2001; Arnedo et al., 2004; Crews & Hedin,
2006). Also, the chosen genes evolve at different rates
and contain both protein and non-protein coding
regions. DNA was extracted from a portion of a leg
using a Qiagen DNeasy Tissue Kit following the manufacturer’s protocol. Each new specimen used in this
study was given an individual number (e.g. sel_001)
and has been deposited in the Essig Museum of
Entomology at the University of California, Berkeley
and the California Academy of Sciences. Remaining
genomic DNA is stored at -80 °C in the Gillespie
and Roderick Laboratories, University of California,

Berkeley. Primer pairs used are given in Table 1. In
some cases, primarily with outgroup taxa, amplification was difficult and, in such instances, the Epicentre
FailSafe PCR kit was used. In the majority of cases,
sequence data were obtained for all gene fragments for
multiple representatives of each species. In one situation with the species Selenops insularis Keyserling,
there was evidence for multiple copies of H3a in some
specimens, thus these sequences were not analysed for
these individuals.
PHYLOGENETIC
METHODS
Alignments of the protein-coding loci CO1, ND1 and
H3a were performed manually using Mesquite ver.
2.5 (Maddison & Maddison, 2008), with the aminoacid translations used as a guide. The 16S data
were aligned using secondary structure based on the
model from Masta (2000). While there were some
length differences between taxa, alignment was
straightforward.
Data were partitioned by codon position for protein
coding genes, by stems and loops for ribosomal DNA
and by gene for both the maximum likelihood and
Bayesian analyses to improve the fit of the substitution model to the data (Nylander et al., 2004; Brandley, Schmitz & Reeder, 2005). The doublet model of
nucleotide substitution was used for the stem regions
of 16S and the tRNA (Schöniger & von Haeseler,
1994; Kjer, 2004). Maximum likelihood analyses were
performed with RAxML ver. 7.0.4 (Stamatakis, 2006)
and Bayesian analyses were performed using
MrBayes ver. 3.1.2 (Huelsenbeck & Ronquist, 2001;
Ronquist & Huelsenbeck, 2003; Altekar et al., 2004).
RAxML is able to analyse partitioned data, but only
under the generalised time reversible (GTR) model,
thus, while the same partitioning regime was used in
both Bayesian and likelihood analyses, this was the
model that was used in the maximum likelihood
analyses. To determine the models for each partition
in the Bayesian analysis, MrModeltest ver. 2.3
(Nylander, 2004) was used. Models were chosen using
the Akaike information criterion (AIC; Akaike, 1973;
see Posada & Buckley, 2004) and are listed in Table 2.
LIKELIHOOD
ANALYSES
RAxML maximum likelihood analyses were conducted in a variety of ways following the suggestions
of the author (Stamatakis, 2006). First, one analysis
was conducted which included 893 terminals after
identical haplotypes were removed. However, to ease
the computational strain for more intensive analyses,
terminals that were ⱕ 0.3% different were removed
from the analysis (sensu McGuire et al., 2007). This
truncated data set contained 306 terminals.

The RAxML manual suggests two ways to analyse
data – the ‘fast and easy way’ and the ‘hard and slow
way’ (Stamatakis, 2006). The fast and easy way was
used to analyse the full data set because of its large
size (~900 terminals and ~2000 bps). The hard and
slow way was used to analyse the smaller data set
and allows the program to find ‘good’ settings particular to an individual data set. The user’s manual was
followed exactly for the analysis of the truncated data
set using the ‘hard and slow’ method. First, five
randomized maximum parsimony trees were generated and then each tree was inferred using a fixed
setting of ten for the initial rearrangement. Next, this
setting was automatically determined for the same
five starting trees and whichever settings yielded the
best likelihood scores were used for subsequent analyses. The second part of the ‘hard and slow’ method
involves the number of rate categories. For this, the
number of rate categories is increased by 15, from 10
to 55 for each of the five starting trees, using whichever setting worked best from the initial rearrangement analyses. Finally, ten analyses were run using
the best settings from the above experiments and
bootstraps from 500 iterations were then added to the
tree with the best likelihood. For all RAxML analyses,
the rapid bootstrap algorithm was used (Stamatakis,
Hoover & Rougemong, 2008).
BAYESIAN
ANALYSES
Several analyses were run using MrBayes-mpi on the
cluster at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley, as well as on the CIPRES

cluster at the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
Despite using the truncated data set and running the
jobs in parallel, analyses required months to near
completion. Programs were run using the default
settings for 40 million generations and, if convergence
was not met, the generations were increased in increments up to 100 million, saving every 1000th tree.
Convergence was assessed using Are We There Yet?
(AWTY) (Wilgenbusch, Warren & Swofford, 2004;
Nylander et al., 2008).
LAGRANGE
ANALYSES
The program Lagrange (Ree et al., 2005; Ree &
Smith, 2008) was used to test hypotheses of vicariance and dispersal. Lagrange uses likelihood models
to test geographic range evolution and allows changes
in dispersal and extinction parameters at different
times in the past, allowing the incorporation of external information such as geological data and dispersal
capabilities. For example, if a land mass did not exist
at a particular time period, because it had not yet
emerged or was inundated, the rate of dispersal to the
land mass would be 0 during this time and could
increase during the time period(s) the land mass was
available for colonization. In an area as geologically
complex as the Caribbean, there are nearly endless
ways to parameterize the models, but simplicity was
maintained throughout each analysis.
Lagrange requires a tree and a matrix of range
data for the included taxa. We analysed a truncated
data set, selecting one specimen from each species,
along with the outgroups, using a partitioned RAxML
search for the best tree. We then pruned the outgroups before conducting the Lagrange analyses to
make the computational load smaller, and because
the focus of the questions concerns only the ingroup.
We ensured the tree had the same basic structure as
trees from the more complete analyses and that all
relationships supported in those analyses also
appeared in this tree.
We divided the range of the Selenopids in North
and Central America into five areas: C (Central
America and Mexico), S (South America), G (Greater
Antilles), N (Northern Lesser Antilles), A (Southern
Lesser Antilles). Although certain parts of these
regions were not available for colonization throughout
particular time periods (i.e. some of the Greater Antilles have been emergent longer than others, etc.), we
simply used the maximum times from their first
appearance. We set the age of the root node of the tree
to 130 Myr, as it is assumed a split between the
ingroup, i.e. American selenopids, and the outgroup,
i.e. African selenopids, was caused by the separation
of Africa from South America. Dating vicariance

is problematic, in that in some cases this upper bound
is too old as a result of chance transoceanic interchange after actual separation. However, the existence of distinct clades of Selenops on the different
continents would argue for little genetic exchange
between the continental land masses (Smith & Peterson, 2002) and would therefore indicate that it is
indeed appropriate to use the separation of Africa and
America to date Selenops. Throughout all analyses,
we focused on six time periods which correspond to
the availability of land for colonization (Table 3).
The following three analyses consisted of two
models each, one representing each of three scenarios
with, and without, GAARlandia. The three scenarios
were: (1) a dispersal-based scenario where distance
between land masses determines the probability of
colonization; (2) a dispersal-based scenario in which
the ability to colonize an available land mass is not
dependent on distance, thus the colonization of any
one land mass from another is equiprobable; (3) a
vicariance-based scenario, with little to no over-water
dispersal. This means that colonization of one area
from another could occur only through connections of
one land mass to another. In some cases, certain
areas were never connected to other land masses,
such as the Lesser Antilles. In this case, the probability of dispersal is not set to zero, but rather a very low
probability, as the presence of the spiders indicates
colonization at some point in the past.
It is possible to set different dispersal probabilities
for each direction, so that the probability of moving
from one region to another can be lower or higher
than in the opposite direction. However, to maintain

simplicity, bidirectional probabilities were set as
equal. Within each model, the only parameter
changed between the two analyses was the probability of colonization with and without the presence of
GAARlandia. The maximum range size was set to two
areas and the areas G, N and A were excluded from
the root (> 130 Myr) as they were not available for
colonization at this time (Table 3).
RESULTS
SAMPLING
We obtained over 1000 specimens from over 200
localities within the area of primary focus for this
study. In total, we have 29 out of 41 Caribbean island
species, half of the known Mexican and Central
American species and one fifth of the described South
American species (Appendix).
PHYLOGENETIC
ANALYSES
Likelihood analysis
The tree from the analysis of the full data set is
shown in Figure 3 and has a likelihood score of
-61 544.60. Nodes with bootstrap (BS) values ⱖ 70%
are considered to be supported. There is no support
(BS < 70%) for many basal nodes. Further discussion
of the results from this tree is given below where
compared with trees from the other analyses.
In the analysis of the truncated data set, the best
likelihood score came from the trial with a fixed
setting of 10 for the initial rearrangement, rather
than the automatic setting (Table 5). The best likelihood from the experiment to determine a good setting
for the number of rate categories occurred when this
setting was at 25 (Table 6). Thus, the initial rearrangement setting was fixed at 10 (-i 10) and the
number of rate categories was set to 25 (-c 25). The
best overall likelihood with these settings from
the MultTrees analysis came from the second run
(Table 7) and the results are shown in Figure 4. The
overall structure is similar to the tree obtained from
the analysis of the full data set, in which many basal
nodes are not supported, while nodes above these are.
This tree is discussed in more detail below.
Bayesian analysis
The analyses were run for 64 million generations (the
maximum possible given limits of storage space for
our output files). According to the cumulative plot
from AWTY (Wilgenbusch et al., 2004; Nylander et al.,
2008), the run reached convergence near 55 million
generations. Because convergence was only reached
very late in the analysis, the first 90% of trees were
eliminated as burn-in, leaving ~12 000 trees from
which to compute a consensus. This tree is shown in
Figure 5 and nodes with posterior probability values
ⱖ 0.95 are considered to be supported. The branch
lengths are longer than in the likelihood analyses
and, while a few more basal nodes are supported than
in the likelihood analyses, the overall pattern is the
same. The similarities and differences among all
three trees are discussed below.
Comparison of trees
All three trees are very similar with many of the
minor differences not supported. The remainder of
the basal nodes occurring below the Selenopids of
North and Central America is only supported as
monophyletic in the Bayesian analysis. The focal taxa
of the study, the Selenopids of North and Central
America, are monophyletic and further subdivided
into a well-supported strictly Caribbean clade (Fig. 6,
clade A) and the remaining taxa, supported as a clade
in the Bayesian tree only; (Fig. 6, clade B), including
taxa from the south-western USA, Mexico, Central
America, the Southern Lesser Antilles (SLA) and
South America. Within this clade B, although basal
relationships are not supported, all analyses support
a southern Caribbean basin clade (Fig. 6, clade C)
consisting of taxa from Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao,
Trinidad and Tobago. Selenops n. sp. 5 from Aruba is
always sister to Selenops curazao from Bonaire and
Curaçao and, this clade (Fig. 6, clade D), is always
sister to Selenops willinki from northern South
America and Tobago + S. geraldinae from Trinidad
(Fig. 6, clade E). Also within clade B, another wellsupported clade in all analyses consists of Selenops
banksi, found in Panama and South America, and
Selenops micropalpus, found in the Southern Lesser
Antilles from Dominica to St Vincent and the Grenadines (Fig. 6, clade F).
There is support for a sister group relationship
between the South American taxa + the Central and
North American taxa in the Bayesian tree only. Both
the Bayesian analysis and the likelihood analysis
of the truncated data set support a Central
American + North American clade (Fig. 6, clade G), as
well as one between the widespread Selenops mexicanus, Selenops gracilis and a new species found only in
Mexico (Fig. 6, clade H). In the Bayesian tree, S.
mexicanus is paraphyletic. There is little support for
any other relationships in clade B, other than the
species from the Selenops debilis group of the southwestern USA and Northern Mexico (Fig. 6, clade I).
The Caribbean clade (Fig. 6, clade A) consists only
of taxa from Caribbean islands and is strongly supported in all analyses, but, again, with little support
for basal nodes, the exception being the widespread
Selenops lindborgi and its sister species, S. n. sp. 3,
which are supported as sister to the rest of the
Caribbean taxa (Fig. 6, clade J).

A relationship consisting of the four Jamaican
species, four species endemic to Hispaniola + S. insularis, from throughout the Greater Antilles, is represented in all three analyses, although not supported
in the full data set (Fig. 6, clade K). The Jamaican
species are monophyletic, with well-supported interrelationships in all analyses (Fig. 6, clade L). The
sister clade, consisting primarily of Hispaniolan
endemics (three of which are undescribed), is also
well supported (Fig. 6, clade M). However, Hispaniola
has several species outside this clade.
Nodes on the branches subtending other major Caribbean lineages (clades N, O, P and Q in Fig. 6) are
unsupported, although many sister group relationships and one small subclade consisting of three
undescribed species from Hispaniola and one from the
Turks and Caicos Islands (Fig. 6, clade N) are supported in all analyses.
Lagrange analyses
The results of the Lagrange analyses are given in
Table 8. Shown in Figures 7–9 are the maximum like-
lihood reconstructions of range evolution under each
of the six models. The best likelihood score overall
(-121.90) was from model 3B, the vicariance-based
model that includes GAARlandia (Fig. 9B). In models
2A–3B, the best likelihood scores were produced from
those that included GAARlandia. The first two analyses (using models 1A and 1B), which take distance
between islands into account, produced very similar
likelihood scores and maximum likelihood reconstructions, although the model without GAARlandia had
an insignificantly greater likelihood score. However,
in the other two analyses, the differences in likelihood
scores were significant and, in the analyses modelled
with no GAARlandia, there was much more uncertainty in the reconstructions (Figs 7–9 – grey
branches indicate that alternative reconstructions fall
within two log-likelihood units of the scenario that is
depicted). Likelihood ratio tests were used to compare
nested models and, when scenarios were not nested
(e.g. – scenario 2A and scenario 3A), the highest
likelihood score is taken as the best.

Unique and shared biogeographic patterns are summarized in Table 9.

indeed the affinities are not surprising given the
proximity of the islands to each other and to the
South American continent. The amphibian and reptile
assemblages on each of these islands are largely continental and also distinct from the primary Caribbean
elements (Hedges, 2006).
In Selenops, this Southern Caribbean clade is
apparently not closely related to other Caribbean
taxa, a pattern found in many other groups, including
mammals (Dávalos, 2004) and plants [orchids (TrejoTorres & Ackerman, 2001)]. However, a contrasting
pattern has been found in Anolis lizards in which the
Southern Caribbean Basin taxa show stronger affinities with the Antilles (Jackman et al., 1999; Creer
et al., 2001); these affinities are hypothesized to have
arisen as a result of the Lesser Antilles being much
further west, and thus closer to Bonaire, in the past
(Creer et al., 2001).
NORTHERN
VS.
SOUTHERN LESSER ANTILLES
A pattern that the Selenops spiders share with
several insects (Wilder & Hollocher, 2003), Anolis
lizards (Gorman & Atkins, 1969; Jackman et al.,
1999; 2002; Creer et al., 2001; Schneider, Losos & de
Queiroz, 2001) and Eleutherodactylus frogs (Kaiser,
Sharbel & Green, 1994), is that species in the Northern Lesser Antilles are only distantly related to
species in the Southern Lesser Antilles. The species
S. n. sp. 7 is found in the Northern Lesser Antilles
from Les Saintes northward to Montserrat and
Antigua, while the species occurring in the Southern
Lesser Antilles, from Dominica south to St Vincent
and the Grenadines (at least to Mayreau) is S. micropalpus. The northern species is nested well within the
strictly Caribbean clade, while S. micropalpus shares
a relationship with S. banksi found from Panamá to
Peru to Guyana. The precise location where northern
and southern lineages are separated is variable, being
slightly to the south in other lineages. For example, in
Anolis, it is between Dominica and Martinique (Losos
& Thorpe, 2004); among Lygaeid bugs (Slater, 1988),
carabid beetles (Liebherr, 1988b), butterflies (Davies
& Bermingham, 2002), Eleutherodactylus frogs
(Kaiser et al., 1994) and populations of the bananaquit (Seutin et al., 1994), it is between St Vincent
and St Lucia. Differences in the location of the boundary between northern and southern lineages may
occur as a result of the timing of colonization of the
different groups, which is likely related to the timing
of emergence of the individual islands. Interestingly,
anoles from the Southern Lesser Antilles, like the
spiders, show affinities with Central and South
American anoles (Jackman et al., 1999; Creer et al.,
2001).

(Isla Mona and Puerto Rico, see also Supporting

similar pattern is found among Anolis, with Puerto
Rico endemic Anolis occultus also basal (Jackman
et al., 1999). Likewise, the most basal iguana of the
genus Cyclura is also located on the Puerto Rican
bank (Malone et al., 2000). This pattern, which indicates a common origin of Caribbean diversity for
these groups, is in contrast to data from geckos, frogs,
colubrid snakes and butterflies, which suggest Hispaniola as a centre of diversity (Liebherr, 1988a, and
references therein).

UNIQUE
BIOGEOGRAPHY OF
JAMAICA
Jamaica is one of the oldest islands of the Greater
Antilles, with areas that may have had some parts
continuously above sea level for many millions of
years longer than other islands (Iturralde-Vinent &
MacPhee, 1999; Iturralde-Vinent & Gahagan, 2002).
It is also more isolated than other islands as its last
probable connection with a land mass was likely with
Central America through the Nicaraguan Rise
55 Mya. Our data reflect this isolated history, as
Jamaican species of Selenops form a monophyletic
group of endemics (Fig. 6, clade L). Monophyly of
Jamaican taxa is also present in anoles (Jackman
et al., 1999; Nicholson et al., 2005) and Eleutherodactylus frogs (Hedges, 1996a,b). However, affinities of
the Jamaican clade differ between spider and vertebrate groups: The Jamaican clade of Selenops is supported in the Bayesian and truncated likelihood
analyses as being sister to a clade of primarily Hispaniolan species (Fig. 6, clade K). In contrast, the
Jamaican clade of Eleutherodactylus frogs is most

closely related to species from Cuba, while the
Jamaican lineages of Anolis lizards (Nicholson et al.,
2005) and short-faced bats (Dávalos, 2007) are sister
to clades from the mainland. Overall, Jamaica’s
history has been quite different from that of the other
Greater Antillean islands and its fauna may have
accumulated via dispersal and in situ speciation
rather than vicariance (Buskirk, 1985; Crother &
Guyer, 1996).

DERIVED POSITION OF
CUBA
Cuba has often been depicted as a basal locality in
area cladograms (Buskirk, 1985; Crother & Guyer,

Selenops species from Cuba appear not to be basal, at
least based on morphology and our limited molecular
sampling. Only one species (Selenops aissus – collected from the Bahamas, but that also occurs in

other sampled species which occur in Cuba (although
all but one – Selenops submaculosus – were collected
from other islands) are nested high within the trees
(S. submaculosus, Selenops simius, Selenops inuslaris) and it is inferred based on morphology (S. C.

the Cuban endemics are closely related to S. simius
and S. submaculosus (Fig. 6, clade O).

and St Maarten and Anguilla are nested well within
a clade of Hispaniolan animals (Fig. 6, clade O). This
suggests that S. n. sp. 7 and S. n. sp. 8 colonized the
Northern Lesser Antilles region from Hispaniola and
thus support the Greater Antilles as a centre of
species diversity via dispersal events in Anolis (Glor,
Losos & Larson, 2005). Also, many species of Selenops
in Hispaniola have very small ranges that mirror
those of many endemic anoles from the Anolis cybotes
group (Glor et al., 2003), indicating similar patterns
of speciation between the two groups.

1999) and invertebrates (Nichols, 1988), the Greater
Antilles harbour more species than the Lesser Antilles. This can be attributed largely to island area
(MacArthur & Wilson, 1963) and associated habitat
diversity and age (Losos, 1996; Ricklefs & Bermingham, 2002, 2008). In Selenops, the same pattern is
found, with larger, older islands (Greater Antilles)
having more species than smaller, younger, less
habitat-diverse islands (Lesser Antilles). In the
Greater Antilles there is often a pattern of number
of species in Cuba > Hispaniola > Jamaica > Puerto
Rico, based on island size. This pattern also prevails
in Selenops. In this genus, 17 species occur in Cuba
with 12 endemics (Alayón, 2005), while in Hispaniola
there are at least 16 species with 11 endemics and, in
Jamaica, at least five species are known, with four
endemics. However, the Bahamas have no known
endemic species of Selenops.
HYPOTHESIS
TESTING
In the maximum likelihood analyses of range expansion, likelihood ratio tests of scores for the scenarios
that include the existence of the GAARlandia land
span are either equally probable or more favourable
than those that do not. This does not mean that
over-water dispersal has not occurred, but rather that
land bridges hold a stronger signature on the phylogeny. These results contrast to those for mammals in
which there was little to no support for a land span
between the Greater Antilles and northern South
America (Dávalos, 2004). Likewise, Hedges and

others (Hedges, Hass & Maxon, 1992; Hedges,
1996a,b; Hedges & Heinicke, 2007; Heinicke et al.,
2007) found that molecular clock estimates of divergence times precluded a major role of land bridges in
the origin of Caribbean herpetofauna. The suitability
Dispersal–Extinction–Cladogenesis model of geographic range evolution used here, in which dispersal
events cause range expansion, local extinction events
cause range contraction and the probability of each
kind of event is proportional to the branch length, has
been questioned for island fauna, as terminal taxa
may be restricted to single islands (Ree & Smith,
2008). However, in our models, islands were either
grouped together or several species were spread
across multiple islands and thus the model is reasonable in this particular case.
CONCLUSIONS
The current study provides a basis for biogeographic
comparison across different lineages in the Caribbean. It is one of the most extensive data sets for
Caribbean fauna and the most comprehensive
molecular data set of any spider group. While inclusion of taxa currently missing from our analyses, and
possibly the use of other markers, may help resolve
basal relationships, it should also be noted that deep,
short branches, such as those found here, may be very
difficult if not impossible to resolve (Degnan & Salter,
2005; Kubatko & Degnan, 2007). The results reveal
several patterns common to other disparate taxa, as
well as many unique patterns which warrant further
study. Moreover, the data set provides the groundwork for behavioural, ecological and population-level
studies similar to lineages such as Anolis lizards
(Losos, 2009) and passerine birds (Ricklefs & Bermingham, 2007).
