The Tethys Ocean existed between the continents of Gondwana and Laurasia from the Triassic to the Pliocene. Analyses of multiple biogeographic and phylogenetic histories reveal that the subsequent breakup of the Tethys greatly influenced the distributions of many species. The ancestral Tethyan realm broke into five biogeographic provinces, including the present‐day East Pacific, West Atlantic, East Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea, and Indo‐West Pacific. Palaeogeographic maps illustrate the Mesozoic Atlantic opening, the Cenozoic closure of the Tethys, the Messinian Salinity Crisis, the mid‐Miocene closure of the Central American Seaway, and Quaternary geological changes. Further, we consider Cenozoic sea‐level changes and the formation of freshwater habitats. These reconstructions allow assessment of patterns of aquatic diversification for marine and freshwater animals, and comparison of vicariance and dispersal processes. Estimated divergence times indicate that fragmentation of the Tethys was responsible for the vicariant speciation of aquatic animals because these dates are consistent with associated tectonic events. The opening of the Atlantic Ocean during the Cretaceous is responsible for the earliest isolation between the West and East Atlantic. The mid‐Miocene closure of the Tethys, which blocked global equatorial currents, appears to have isolated the Atlantic/Mediterranean Sea and Indo‐West Pacific. Finally, formation of the Isthmus of Panama isolated East Pacific and West Atlantic marine organisms. Dispersals related to the Messinian Salinity Crisis and Quaternary sea‐level changes influenced population structuring. Tethyan changes affected marine habitats, created new freshwater habitats, inland caves and ancient lakes along the Alps and Himalayas, and influenced anchialine caves at the edge of the ancient sea. The extensive new habitats provided opportunities for colonisation and rapid diversification. Future work should focus on testing the biological impact of the series of Tethyan changes.

特提斯群岛的变化塑造了水生多样化

从三叠纪到上新世,特提斯洋存在于冈瓦纳大陆和劳亚大陆之间。对多个生物地理和系统发育历史的分析表明,随后特提斯的解体极大地影响了许多物种的分布。祖先特提斯王国分为五个生物地理省,包括今天的东太平洋、西大西洋、东大西洋、地中海和印度-西太平洋。古地理地图说明了中生代大西洋开放、特提斯河新生代闭合、墨西拿盐度危机、中美洲海道中中新世闭合和第四纪地质变化。此外,我们考虑了新生代海平面变化和淡水栖息地的形成。这些重建允许评估海洋和淡水动物的水生多样化模式,并比较替代和扩散过程。估计的分歧时间表明特提斯的破碎是造成水生动物替代物种形成的原因,因为这些日期与相关的构造事件一致。白垩纪大西洋的开放是造成西大西洋和​​东大西洋最早隔离的原因。中中新世闭合的特提斯洋流阻断了全球赤道洋流,似乎隔离了大西洋/地中海和印度-西太平洋。最后,巴拿马地峡的形成隔离了东太平洋和西大西洋的海洋生物。与墨西拿盐度危机和第四纪海平面变化相关的扩散影响了人口结构。特提斯山脉的变化影响了海洋栖息地,沿着阿尔卑斯山和喜马拉雅山脉创造了新的淡水栖息地、内陆洞穴和古老的湖泊,并影响了古代海洋边缘的海蚀洞。广阔的新栖息地为殖民和快速多样化提供了机会。未来的工作应该集中在测试一系列特提斯变化的生物学影响上。
