Also, it is debated whether mountain endemics mostly originate from local lowland taxa, or from lineages that reach the mountain by long- range dispersal from cool localities elsewhere 6 . Here we investigate the evolutionary routes to endemism by sampling an entire trop- ical mountain biota on the 4,095-metre-high Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, East Malaysia. We discover that most of its unique biodi- versity is younger than the mountain itself (6 million years), and comprises a mix of immigrant pre-adapted lineages and descen- dants from local lowland ancestors, although substantial shifts from lower to higher vegetation zones in this latter group were rare. These insights could improve forecasts of the likelihood of extinction and ‘evolutionary rescue’ 7 in montane biodiversity hot spots under climate change scenarios. In mountainous areas of the humid tropics, steep environmental gradients coincide with high primary productivity and relative cli- matic stability to sustain large numbers of species, often with strik- ing degrees of endemism at higher elevations 1,8 . It has therefore been recognized that tropical mountains are biodiversity hot spots of great conservation value 1 , especially because endemics on mountain tops are vulnerable to becoming trapped and then annihilated as a result of global warming 2,3 . The evolutionary origins of these unique biotas, however, are poorly understood 4 . Like other insular habitats 9 , the endemic biota of an isolated mountain results from complex dynamics among coloniza- tion, in situ speciation, and local extinction. Each of these factors is dependent on the age and size of the habitat, and on the environmental contrast between the insular habitat and its matrix 10 . In the case of a tropical mountain top, an added complication is the fact that climate fluctuations may have widened and restricted the geographic range over which the montane conditions have extended in the past, meaning that parts of the endemic biota may be relicts, and other components may be novel in character 4,5 . Disentangling these possibilities for a single tropical montane biodiversity hot spot requires molecular phylogenetic study of a large number of fauna and flora elements. However, with only few excep- tions 11,12 , evolutionary studies in such hot spots have been limited to single taxa 13,14 . This precludes broad understanding of the evolu- tionary and biogeographic origins of an endemic biota as a whole 4 . We investigated the evolutionary routes to endemism by sampling an entire tropical mountain biota on the UNESCO World Heritage site of Gunung Kinabalu in Sabah, East Malaysia. We demonstrate that most of its unique biodiversity is younger than the mountain itself and comprises a mix of immigrant pre-adapted lineages as well as descen- dants from local lowland ancestors. At 4,095 m, Kinabalu is the tallest mountain between the Himalayas and New Guinea. It is a solitary ‘sky island’, having emerged during the Pliocene and early Pleistocene as a granite pluton within the surround- ing sandstone of the Crocker Range, the latter having formed much earlier, between the Eocene and the early Miocene 15 . Because of the area’s tectonic activity, as well as Pleistocene sea level changes, the exact historical progression of its elevation above sea level is not known, but it is likely that a major rise, even beyond today’s elevation, of Kinabalu, as well as the central spine of the Crocker Range, took place between 6 million years ago and today (for more geological background see Methods). Since the early days of its exploration 16 , Kinabalu has been famous for its extremely high biological diversity, especially its richness in endemic species, with endemism proportions reaching 25–30% for some taxa 17 . To unravel the origins of the exceptionally rich Kinabalu biota, we mounted a Malaysian–Dutch expedition in which 47 taxonomists worked at 37 localities, spanning the full range of elevations (Fig. 1). We used Sanger sequencing to sequence one or more fast-evolving loci for 1,852 individuals, belonging to 18 genera representing gastropods, annelids, insects, arachnids, vertebrates, pteridophytes, bryophytes, and angiosperms.

Tropical mountains are hot spots of biodiversity and endemism1–3,but the evolutionary origins of their unique biotas are poorlyunderstood4. In varying degrees, local and regional extinction,long-distance colonization, and local recruitment may all contrib-ute to the exceptional character of these communities5. Also, it isdebated whether mountain endemics mostly originate from locallowland taxa, or from lineages that reach the mountain by long-range dispersal from cool localities elsewhere6. Here we investigatethe evolutionary routes to endemism by sampling an entire trop-ical mountain biota on the 4,095-metre-high Mount Kinabalu inSabah, East Malaysia. We discover that most of its unique biodi-versity is younger than the mountain itself (6 million years), andcomprises a mix of immigrant pre-adapted lineages and descen-dants from local lowland ancestors, although substantial shiftsfrom lower to higher vegetation zones in this latter group wererare. These insights could improve forecasts of the likelihood ofextinction and ‘evolutionary rescue’7 in montane biodiversity hotspots under climate change scenarios.

In mountainous areas of the humid tropics, steep environmentalgradients coincide with high primary productivity and relative cli-matic stability to sustain large numbers of species, often with strik-ing degrees of endemism at higher elevations1,8. It has therefore beenrecognized that tropical mountains are biodiversity hot spots of greatconservation value1, especially because endemics on mountain topsare vulnerable to becoming trapped and then annihilated as a resultof global warming2,3.

The evolutionary origins of these unique biotas, however, are poorlyunderstood4. Like other insular habitats9, the endemic biota of anisolated mountain results from complex dynamics among coloniza-tion, in situ speciation, and local extinction. Each of these factors isdependent on the age and size of the habitat, and on the environmentalcontrast between the insular habitat and its matrix10. In the case ofa tropical mountain top, an added complication is the fact thatclimate fluctuations may have widened and restricted the geographicrange over which the montane conditions have extended in the past,

meaning that parts of the endemic biota may be relicts, and othercomponents may be novel in character4,5.

Disentangling these possibilities for a single tropical montanebiodiversity hot spot requires molecular phylogenetic study of a largenumber of fauna and flora elements. However, with only few excep-tions11,12, evolutionary studies in such hot spots have been limitedto single taxa13,14. This precludes broad understanding of the evolu-tionary and biogeographic origins of an endemic biota as a whole4.

We investigated the evolutionary routes to endemism by samplingan entire tropical mountain biota on the UNESCO World Heritage siteof Gunung Kinabalu in Sabah, East Malaysia. We demonstrate thatmost of its unique biodiversity is younger than the mountain itself andcomprises a mix of immigrant pre-adapted lineages as well as descen-dants from local lowland ancestors.

At 4,095 m, Kinabalu is the tallest mountain between the Himalayasand New Guinea. It is a solitary ‘sky island’, having emerged during thePliocene and early Pleistocene as a granite pluton within the surround-ing sandstone of the Crocker Range, the latter having formed muchearlier, between the Eocene and the early Miocene15. Because of thearea’s tectonic activity, as well as Pleistocene sea level changes, theexact historical progression of its elevation above sea level is notknown, but it is likely that a major rise, even beyond today’s elevation,of Kinabalu, as well as the central spine of the Crocker Range, tookplace between 6 million years ago and today (for more geologicalbackground see Methods).

and glomeromycete ITS2 rDNA sequences from soil cores with ionsemiconductor sequencing. In addition, we retrieved data from eightpreviously published single-taxon studies on vascular plants.

We analysed all data within a phylogenetic framework to estimatethe times of origin of endemic species, and to determine whetherendemic species had descended from local or distant congeners(Methods, Fig. 2, Extended Data Table 1 and Extended Data Figs 1–9).Note that we define ‘endemic’ as restricted to the area in whichour expedition took place. Although the present study offers themost comprehensive evolutionary analysis of any mountain biota todate, the taxa covered are, by necessity, an uneven and fragmentarysampling of the full diversity. Nonetheless, we expect that ourresults are representative for the Kinabalu biota as a whole, as ourselected taxa encompass organisms with a wide variety of phylogen-etic backgrounds, ecologies, and life history traits.

Similar to Mesoamerican endemic cloud forest seed plants andvertebrates11, our molecular dating results show that the estimatedmean stem-node ages of 33 endemic species span a wide range, from0.12 million years to 14.6 million years (Fig. 3). However, 76% of these

fall within the past 6 million years, the time span during whichKinabalu is likely to have reached its present elevation. Only twoendemics, the frog Kalophrynus baluensis and the flowering plantIlex kinabaluensis, are markedly older than the mountain itself.These may be explained as artefactual if we failed to identify theclosest non-endemic sister lineage, thereby inflating their recon-structed age, or if these species are actually not endemics, but morewidespread. Alternatively, they may truly be old endemics that evolvedduring cooler periods at lower elevations in Borneo before Kinabalu’sformation.

Our phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses (Extended Data Table 1and Extended Data Figs 1–4, 7–9) suggest the existence of two categoriesof endemics18: ‘eccentric’ (12 taxa) and ‘centric’ (25 taxa). The eccentrictype of endemic has sister taxa that occur either in temperate climates(seven cases) or in other tropical mountains outside of Borneo (fivecases). To this group belong all bryophytes, pteridophytes, some of thefungal lineages and also the endemics in the flowering plant groupsHedyotis, Ilex, Impatiens, Ranunculus and Euphrasia, and the animalsCoeliccia and Tritetrabdella. Eccentric endemics predominantly occur at

high elevations (mean lower elevational boundary, 2,212 m; s.d., 837 m),they are strict Kinabalu endemics (they do not occur on nearby, lowermountains), and are further characterized by high dispersal capacities(one, two and seven clades with eccentric endemism have small, mediumand large dispersal, respectively).

The centric type of endemic has sister taxa that occur locally, in theBorneo lowlands. Six out of the eight endemic animal species, some ofthe fungal lineages, the conifers, and 17 of the 20 flowering plantsbelong to this type. Centric endemics occur on average at lower eleva-tions (mean lower elevational boundary, 1,724 m; s.d., 728 m) andtend to have lower dispersal capacities than the eccentric endemics(eight, seven and ten clades with centric endemism have small, med-ium and large dispersal, respectively). Some centric endemics arenot strict Kinabalu endemics, as they are also found on other moun-tains in Kinabalu’s vicinity. Our ancestral state reconstructions(Supplementary Table 6) confirm a pattern of altitudinal bottom-upcladogenesis in the centric endemics, with 8 out of 11 species rangingpartially or entirely outside of the 95% credibility interval for thereconstructed elevation of the most recent common ancestor, andthe remaining 3 out of 11 falling entirely within this interval. Whenwe performed the same analysis with Kitayama’s (ref. 19) seven vegeta-tion zones, rather than elevation, we found that only three of theseeight elevation shifts may represent a shift towards a higher vegetationzone. This suggests that, even in high-elevation centric endemics, sub-stantial niche shifts are rare. Niche conservatism is probably evenunderestimated, since the Massenerhebung effect causes an upwardshift of vegetation zones on Kinabalu compared with other Borneanmountains14,20.

Our multi-taxon study shows that Kinabalu’s biodiversity hot spotis of recent origin. This means the mountain is an evolutionarycradle, accumulating neo-endemics, as has been suggested for otheryoung, high-elevation biodiversity hot spots at low latitudes21, suchas the Tibetan plateau22, the Andean highlands8, and Afrotropicalvolcanoes23. However, probably as a consequence of the rapid emer-gence of the mountain15 and its unique alpine summit conditions19,many of these neo-endemics have not evolved by drastic nicheshifts from local ancestors, but rather by immigration of pre-adaptedpropagules from elsewhere. This explains the multiple independentcolonization events in some taxa (for example, Glomus, Rhododendronand Coeliccia). In addition, local lowland taxa have also generatedmontane species, but although some of these have reached vegetationzones above 2,000 m, most do not show substantial niche shifts away

from their ancestral niche. The fact that the endemic biota of Kinabaluappears to be composed largely of pre-adapted (eccentric) species andlocally derived (centric), ecologically conserved endemics is in linewith niche conservatism24.

We suggest that our novel approach of molecular dating of multipleclades be applied to larger communities in this and other tropicalmontane biodiversity hot spots25. In combination, such informationshould allow a detailed dissection of the relative roles of ecologicalspeciation, colonization and habitat filtering in the formation ofendemic biotas in this and other tropical mountains. Moreover, suchunderstanding could improve predictions of the likelihood of extinc-tion and evolutionary rescue of endemic species experiencing chan-ging climate conditions7.

METHODSNo statistical methods were used to predetermine sample size. The experimentswere not randomized and the investigators were not blinded to allocation duringexperiments and outcome assessment.Expedition. Material was sampled chiefly between September 10th and 25th,2012, by the participants of the Crocker Range/Kinabalu Scientific Expedition,which was conceived, organized, funded and conducted jointly by Sabah Parks(Malaysia) and Naturalis Biodiversity Center (The Netherlands). The expeditionwas set up with the explicit aim to investigate evolutionary patterns of endemism(see main text), and participants were selected to maximize taxon coverage andecological diversity. The 47 expedition members were asked to identify one ormore congeneric species complexes (hereafter termed ‘genera’) within their taxonof expertise that included high elevation endemics and preferably also more wide-spread lowland species (although there is a possibility that this approach wouldleave out any monotypic endemics, in the groups studied by us, such species arenot known). These, plus outgroup species, were then sampled (using taxon-specific methods; see Supplementary Table 2 for further details) at eight expeditionstations located at a range of elevations (Fig. 1), and also in additional locations inboth parks and their vicinity. Data on time, latitude and longitude, elevation, andhabitat were collected with each sample. Material was subsampled for DNA ana-lysis, mostly in the field, by preserving tissues or entire organisms, usually eitherin pure ethanol or in silica gel (see Supplementary Table 2 for taxon-specificsubsampling and storage). In the case of fungi, mycelial DNA was obtained bybulk extraction from composite soil cores (see Supplementary Table 2 and below).In addition to the data collected during the expedition, the expedition memberswere asked to provide a complete assessment of elevational and geographicaldistribution for each of the species within their taxon of expertise, based onpublished sources and previous collections.Molecular analysis. Upon arrival in the Naturalis DNA barcoding facility, sub-samples were processed in a semi-automated way. DNA extractions on animalmaterial were performed on either tissue samples or individual arthropod legs, orusing whole arthropods in a non-destructive extraction method. DNA wasextracted using the NucleoMag 96 Tissue kit (Macherey-Nagel Gmbh & Co.,Duren, Germany) on the KingFisher Flex magnetic particle processor (ThermoScientific). DNA extractions on plant tissue were performed on dried leaf samples,using the NucleoMag 96 Plant kit (Macherey-Nagel Gmbh & Co., Duren,Germany). The KingFisher Flex protocols were slightly adjusted from the manu-facturer’s protocol (http://www.thermoscientific.com) to include longer mixing ofbeads with lysed sample and a drying step before elution. A volume of 150ml wasused for elution in both animal and plant samples. Soil samples containing fungalmycelia were processed by pooling 40 cores (for sampling details, seeSupplementary Table 2), resulting in a composite soil sample for each site.Genomic DNA was extracted from 1 g of this sample using the NucleoSpin Soilkit (Macherey-Nagel Gmbh & Co., Duren, Germany), according to the manufac-turer’s protocol. For each sample DNA extraction was carried out twice andreplicates were combined.

For each specimen, the accepted barcode marker for its taxon was sequenced, inmany cases augmented with one or more other phylogenetically informative loci.Supplementary Tables 1 and 2 provide lists of the loci and primers used for eachgenus included in the study. Where relevant for outgroup comparison or furthergeographic resolution, we then obtained additional sequences from Borneo orelsewhere from GenBank or from our own, unrelated studies. GenBank accessioncodes for these are given in Supplementary Table 2. After sequencing, (remains of)voucher specimens were mostly deposited in the collections of Sabah Parks and/orNaturalis Biodiversity Center. Voucher collection codes are listed in Supple-mentary Table 2.

PCR reactions generally contained 18.75ml ultrapure H2O, 2.5ml 103 PCRbuffer, 1.0ml 10 mM of each primer, 0.5ml 2.5 mM dNTPs and 0.25ml 5Uml21

Qiagen Taq. Most PCRs were performed using an initial denaturation step of 180 sat 94 uC, followed by 40 cycles of 15 s at 94 uC, 30 s at 50 uC and 40 s at 72 uC,and ended with a final extension of 300 s at 72 uC and pause at 12 uC.Bi-directional Sanger sequencing was performed at either Macrogen (http://www.macrogen.com) or BaseClear (http://www.baseclear.com). Sequences wereedited manually (primers trimmed off and obvious reading errors corrected) usingSequencher 4.10.1 (Gene Codes Corporation). For the fungal soil samples, theamplicon library was sequenced using an Ion 318TM Chip in an Ion TorrentPersonal Genome Machine (PGM; Life Technologies, Guilford, CT, USA). PCR,sequencing, raw data filtering and all bioinformatic analyses were performed asdescribed in detail previously26. From these fungal soil sequences, we selected non-redundant sequences of the ectomycorrhizal genus Cortinarius and the arbuscularmycorrhizal genus Glomus because they were distributed along the entire altitu-dinal range of our sampling.

Phylogenetic analysis. We performed initial exploratory alignment and createdneighbour-joining trees. This allowed an assessment of individuals that (on thebasis of cursory morphological examination) had been included as potential(undescribed) members of the species complexes of choice. In some cases, thesequence analysis showed that these individuals were in fact unrelated and suchsequences were then removed before further analysis. Then, using Geneious (ver-sion 6.0.5; created by Biomatters; available from http://www.geneious.com/) as aworkbench, sequence data were aligned with MUSCLE25. We ran ModelTest27 todetermine, using Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the best model of nucleo-tide substitution per alignment, for each genetic marker separately. We thenperformed a Bayesian analysis using MrBayes 3.2.2 (ref. 28) with settings formultiple markers unlinked, running two replicates of a minimum of 107 genera-tions each. Convergence was checked in Tracer (v1.5; ref. 29) and, after discardinga 25% burn-in, the resulting majority-rule consensus trees were preserved. For thefungal data sets, multiple sequence alignments were built using MUSCLE and, dueto the large size of these data sets, phylogenetic analyses of maximum likelihood(ML) were carried out in Garli 2.0 (ref. 30) using the GTR1I1G model withestimated values of the alpha parameter of the gamma distribution of variablesites (G) and proportion of invariable sites (I). Clade support was assessed by non-parametric bootstrap analyses with 100 pseudo-replicates.Molecular dating. The times of divergence of Mount Kinabalu endemics fromtheir most closely related extant relatives were estimated with a molecular clockapproach. We included not only our own data, but also incorporated publishedstudies on genera other than the ones we sampled. For each genus, taxon samplingand molecular data used are specified in Supplementary Table 4. All data setswere assembled in Geneious (ver. 5.5.6; created by Biomatters; available fromhttp://www.geneious.com/). Data sets were pruned to contain a single taxon perspecies by selecting a random sequence from each species. Sequence alignmentswere obtained with the MAFFT (ver. 6.814b) alignment tool implemented inGeneious. Divergence time estimates were obtained using a relaxed molecularclock approach with BEAST (ver. 2.1.3; ref. 31). For each DNA region used, anunlinked substitution model was implemented as selected with jModeltest (ver.2.1.5; ref. 27) under the AIC. For the tree prior, a Yule birth rate prior was selectedwith a flat prior on the Yule birth rate. A single clock and tree model was used foreach analysis. All analyses were run with an uncorrelated log-normal clock model,to which an exponential prior was assigned for both the mean (ucldMEAN; meanset at 10.0) and the standard deviation (ucldStdev; mean set at 0.33). Time cal-ibration was done using: (1) fossil constraints; (2) secondary calibration points; or(3) substitution rates, depending on the information available for each particulargenus. In cases where suitable fossil or secondary calibration information was notavailable, we used a priori information about the substitution rate of one of thegene partitions—as opposed to the ‘fix the mean substitution rate’ option across allpartitions—to optimize the analyses. The full details on calibration methods usedfor each taxon are given in Supplementary Table 5. For each run, posterior dis-tributions of parameters were approximated using a Markov chain Monte Carloanalysis of 5 3 107 generations, sampling every 5,000 generations, discarding aburn-in of 5 3 106 generations (10%). Convergence of the chains was checked byevaluating the ESS values of each parameter with Tracer v1.6.Biogeographical, elevational and vegetation zone analyses. For each genus, anindependent estimation of the dispersal neighbourhood size was obtained fromthe spatial ecology literature on the genus concerned or related genera, and/orexpert knowledge. We used this information to classify dispersal neighbourhood(two standard deviations for the distribution of distances between birth andreproduction for individuals of a certain species) in the genus in question as ‘small’,,1 km (mostly flightless animals), ‘medium’, 1–100 km (flying or ballooninganimals, and plants dispersed by flying animals), or ‘large’, .100 km (plantsand fungi with very small wind-dispersed seeds or spores). An overview ofdispersal assessments is in Supplementary Table 3.

Ancestral ranges were estimated for each taxon group under maximum like-lihood with BioGeoBears32 using the three-parameter DEC1J model. The ultra-metric tree from the Bayesian relaxed molecular clock analysis was used as inputtree. This tree was pruned to include the clade with the endemic species and at leastone deeper node (for most groups two deeper nodes were included). Each specieswas scored to be absent or present in Mount Kinabalu (K), Borneo (B), and the restof the world (W). For each group the analysis was run with equal probability forexchange between the three areas over the entire diversification time of the tree.The maximum number of areas was assigned as the maximum number of areasobserved in the extant taxa (either 2 or 3). The optimizations, with the ancestralrange with the highest likelihood for each node, are shown in Extended DataFigs 7–9). We classify a ‘W’ to ‘K’ or ‘KW’ shift in the lineage leading to a speciesendemic to Kinabalu as ‘eccentric endemism’. All other ancestral ranges leadingto Kinabalu endemics are scored as ‘centric’.

For each genus sampled during the expedition that showed centric endemism,we added the elevation at which it had been collected as a continuous character. InBayesTraits 2.0 (ref. 33) we reconstructed ancestral states for elevation at the nodeleading to the endemic species and its sister clade using the continuous randomwalk model which implements a generalized least squares model for continuouslyvarying traits. The elevation of the most-recent common ancestor of the node ofinterest was inferred using a MCMC approach on a set of 2,700 trees randomlysampled after the phylogenetic inference with MrBayes (excluding burn-in). TheMCMC chain of BayesTraits was run for 106 generations, discarding the resultssampled during the first 105 generations as burn-in. We then inspected whetherthe current range of elevation of the endemic species stretches beyond the 95%credible interval for the most-recent common ancestor. If it stretches above thisinterval, we considered this indicative of a ‘bottom-up’ scenario, whereas thereverse would suggest a ‘top-down’ scenario. The results are summarized inSupplementary Table 6.

In parallel with the elevational analysis, we conducted an analysis in which wecoded the vegetation belt(s) as taxon traits. We used the zones defined for Mt.Kinabalu in ref. 19, namely: (i) lowland vegetation (below 600 m); (ii) hill vegeta-tion (600–1,200 m); (iii) lower montane vegetation (1,200–2,000 m); (iv) uppermontane vegetation (2,000–2,800 m); (v) subalpine vegetation (2,800–3,400 m);(vi) upper subalpine vegetation (3,400–3,700 m); (vii) alpine vegetation (above3,700 m). The probabilities at each vegetation belt for the most-recent commonancestor of the node leading to the endemic clade and its sister group were inferredwith the continuous-time Markov model for discrete data implemented inBayesTraits 2.0. The same input trees were used as for the elevation reconstruction,and the MCMC was run for 106 generations, discarding the results sampled duringthe first 105 generations as burn-in. The resulting probabilities are shown inSupplementary Table 7.Geological summary. The following is based on refs 15,34 and R. Hall, personalcommunication, 2014.

Orogeny in the region began at about 23 million years ago (Mya) as a result ofthe northward movement of the Australian plate leading to the collision ofAustralia and Southeast Asia in what today is eastern Indonesia. Orogeny in theKinabalu area began at about 20 Mya after collision of north Borneo with theSouth China continental crust. This led to the emergence of most of Sabah. Soon

after this emergence much of Sabah became submerged, although a north–south-oriented mountain belt formed of tightly folded mudstones and sandstones (thefuture Crocker Range) remained. At the same time, the climate changed fromseasonal to ever-wet. Mapping of former shelf edges offshore shows that later theCrocker Range widened with time, implying that it became higher in its centralparts. Between 8 and 7 Mya a granitic body intruded the crust and cooled rapidlyfrom ,7 to 5 Mya. Melting could have resulted from a build-up of heat fromradioactive decay in the deep crust, or from decompression melting followingextension. After 6 Mya (the precise timing and duration is not known) thearea (including the surrounding Crocker Range) rose further, elevating to thepoint that it was glaciated recently, possibly after a lithospheric root detachedand sank into the deeper mantle, leading new mantle material to flow into thevacated space below the Crocker Range. Extensive glacial weathering of the sum-mit suggests the mountain had reached its present elevation by at least 1 Mya.The Pinosuk gravels on Kinabalu’s south-eastern slope are the accumulated ero-sional debris of young glaciation. Today, the mountain is still rising by 0.5 mmper year.
