Figure 3

Biogeographical model for Bellamya . The model comprises four progressive stages covering roughly (1) Middle Miocene, (2) Late Miocene, (3) Pliocene and (4) Pliocene/Early Pleistocene timeframes. The map shows the current borders and courses of the drainage systems and rivers as well as the current sizes of the lakes. Inset phylogenies track the diversification of Clade I: colours correspond to geographic ranges and the phylogenetic groups in Figure 2. The borders of the suggested ranges are approximations; detailed descriptions of the individual stages are given in the text. Question marks within the dashed areas in stages 3 and 4 indicate potential remnant populations of the clusters from stage 2.
