Phylogeography of Ryukyu insular cicadas: Extensive vicariance by island isolation vs accidental dispersal by super typhoon

Cicadas tend to be affected by vicariance reflecting poor mobility of nymphs underground and weak flying ability adults. However, modern collection records invasive cicada, combined with typhoon tracks, newly obtained phylogeographic data suggest long distance, relatively instantaneous, dispersal some vicariantly speciated cicadas. We address the importance this mechanism applied representative species east Asian endemic cicadas Cryptotympana , Mogannia Euterpnosia Meimuna . combine BEAST-dated phylogenic haplotype network analyses, non-native available in reports Japanese insect associations, Japan Meteorological Agency, our own Quaternary geological constriction data. In conclusion, although Ryukyu were speciated, on islands accidentally dispersed distances another island possibly typhoons, particularly those associated super typhoons generated since 1.55 Ma.
