Use the figures below for the following question. The diagram below represents the ranges of 3 species, which are separated by a mountain range and river. Jane B. Geographer has hypothesized that these three species arose via vicariance. Specifically, she has proposed that the area was originally occupied by a single species, whose range was split first by the mountain range. Later, the river formed. Meanwhile, her brother, Joe B. Geographer, has hypothesized that these species descended from a common ancestor via dispersal. Specifically, he has proposed that the original species was confined to the western side of the mountains. One dispersal event brought individuals around the northern end of the mountains; the river prevented them from dispersing farther south. Some time later, a second dispersal event brought individuals around the southern end of the mountains; dispersal of these individuals was also stopped by the river. Molecular analysis of the three species reveals the phylogeny below. Which hypothesis is supported by the molecular evidence?
