(1999, fig. lb), slightly modified. Neighbour-joining (1000 replications) based on 924 bases of mtcyt b genes from 17 canary species and Fringilla coelebs. Bootstrap values above 50 are shown. For details see text. tion of the areas of canary diversity coincides with endemic bird areas already outlined for Africa by Bibby et al. (1992) and Stattersfield et al. (1998) and with areas of primary montane and temperate floristic elements (Miehe & Miehe 1994, Wickens 1976). Ecological requirements in terms of food plant species were not discussed but may count as a limiting factor as most of the canary species are pure seedeaters and thus dependent on food plants, but the requirements of only a few species are as yet documented, including generalists {Serinus syriacus, Khoury 1998a,b) as well as specialists (Poliospiza leucoptera, Milewsky 1976, 1978). Provided with a new hypothesis of "Serinus" phylogeny, the neighbour-joining tree of Arnaiz-Villena et al. (1999) was chosen to test topographical and geographical distributions of canary lineages under the vicariance model again. The neighbour-joining tree was favoured because of its convincingly high bootstrap values. Moreover it depicts the phylogeny of genera suggested by the analysis of behavioural and morphological characters carried out by van den Elzen & Khoury (1999). It is presented in with slight differences from the original: the two non-passerine species are omitted and nodes for nomina
