Kreft and Jetz's critique of our recent update of Wallace's zoogeographical regions disregards the extensive sensitivity analyses we undertook, which demonstrate the robustness of our results to the choice of phylogenetic data and clustering algorithm. Their suggested distinction between "transition zones" and biogeographic regions is worthy of further investigation but is thus far unsubstantiated.
克雷特和杰茨对我们最近更新的华莱士动物地理区系的批评忽略了我们进行的广泛敏感性分析,这些分析表明我们的结果对系统发育数据和聚类算法的选择具有稳健性。他们建议的“过渡区”和生物地理区之间的区别值得进一步研究,但迄今为止还没有得到证实。
