Abstract
⺠A pronounced tectonic-orographic rain shadow developed in the Pliocene. ⺠Rising antiformal ranges exposed substrates that caused salination and coal fires. ⺠Uplift, salination, and fires exacerbated ecological change during aridification. ⺠Surface environmental rejuvenation occurred laterally at 1-10 m/thousand years. ⺠Mountain uplift caused isolation and extreme speciation of freshwater fish.
