Dispersal scenario of Mascarene stick insects superimposed on a map of the Indian Ocean. a Current map of the Indian Ocean. b Enlarged view of Mascarene plateau. Red arrows indicate postulated colonisation events: The ancestral Mascarene stick insect arrived on currently submerged islands located to the North of Mauritius followed by a radiation and at least three (maximal six) independent dispersals to Mauritius and another three dispersals to Réunion, most likely facilitated by ocean currents (blue lines, after [37])
