  1. The hypothetical RASP habitat reconstruction history together with its probability is shown. The reconstruction used the seven geographic regions, three biomes and the three regions separated by the Great Escarpment and Swartberg Mountain. “ |” indicates geographic isolation, “ – > ” indicate directional changing of the RASP route
