Dalat is a unique terminus of a South-East Asian montane leapfrog area. In addition to the pronounced element of avian endemism found on the Dalat Plateau, Dalat multiple widespread montane SouthEast Asian birds that share their closest vocal or plumage similarities not with adjacent populations in central Vietnam and Laos, but with distant populations, often in Peninsular Malaysia, that are separated by a string of dissimilar populations in between.
This evolutionary and biogeographic mode of distribution, in which two similar terminal populations are separated by dissimilar intervening populations, is known as a ‘leapfrog pattern, and has been well-characterised inlinear mountain ranges such as the Andes of South America. In Asian birds, leapfrog patterns have been found in archipelagic situations such as eastern Indonesia
