            Biogeographic areas and transition zones of Latin America and the Caribbean islands based on panbiogeographic and cladistic analyses of the entomofauna.

            Track and cladistic biogeographic analyses based on insect taxa are used as a framework to interpret patterns of the Latin American and Caribbean entomofauna by identifying biogeographic areas on the basis of endemicity and arranging them hierarchically in a system of regions, subregions, dominions, and provinces. The Nearctic region, inhabited by Holarctic insect taxa, comprises five provinces: California, Baja California, Sonora, Mexican Plateau, and Tamaulipas. The Mexican transition zone comprises five provinces: Sierra Madre Occidental, Sierra Madre Oriental, Transmexican Volcanic Belt, Balsas Basin, and Sierra Madre del Sur. The Neotropical region, which harbors many insect taxa with close relatives in the tropical areas of the Old World, comprises four subregions: Caribbean, Amazonian, Chacoan, and Parana. The South American transition zone comprises five provinces: North Andean Paramo, Coastal Peruvian Desert, Puna, Atacama, Prepuna, and Monte. The Andean region, which harbors insect taxa with close relatives in the Austral continents, comprises three subregions: Central Chilean, Subantarctic, and Patagonian.

              Panbiogeografía, componentes bióticos y zonas de transición

              El reconocimiento de componentes bióticos resulta clave para comprender la evolución en espacio-tiempo. La panbiogeografía representa un enfoque biogeográfico que puede aplicarse para identificar estos componentes bióticos. Se proprorciona una revisión del enfoque panbiogeográfico, incluyendo definiciones de conceptos básicos (trazos individuales y generalizados, nodos, líneas de base y centros de masa) y métodos (manual, matrices de conectividad e incidencia, compatibilidad de trazos y análisis de parsimonia de endemismos). Como un ejemplo de este enfoque, se identifican 70 componentes bióticos de América Latina y el Caribe, se caracterizan brevemente, y se ordenan en un sistema biogeográfico de tres regiones, siete subregiones y dos zonas de transición. Se discute la relevancia del reconocimiento de componentes bióticos y zonas de transición.
