[edit]

Can this graphic and description be attributed to a reliable source? The current distribution of the bear species does not necessarily reflect their mode of speciation. Further, the biogeography shown here would suggest a number of possible geographic modes of speciation such as parapatric or allopatric speciation. I'm concerned this interpretation of the distribution is novel/original research. Andrew. Z. Colvin • Talk 08:51, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
