Background Putative phytogeographical links between America (especially North America)
and the Hawaiian Islands have figured prominently in disagreement and debate about the …

Botanists have long considered the origins of the Hawaiian flora in terms of long‐distance
dispersal from particular source areas. We extensively reviewed phylogenetic studies of the …

The current high islands of the Hawaiian archipelago are among the most remote land
masses in the world. They lie 3500 km from California, the nearest continental source, and …

Aim To estimate the rate of adaptive radiation of endemic Hawaiian Bidens and to compare
their diversification rates with those of other plants in Hawaii and elsewhere with rapid rates …

Abstract The biota of Hawaiian Islands is derived entirely from long distance dispersal, often
followed by in situ speciation. Species descended from each colonist constitute …

Insular oceanic islands provide excellent opportunities for the study of evolutionary
processes and adaptive radiation. The Hawaiian Plantago radiation comprises six endemic …

Aim A detailed database of distributions and phylogenetic relationships of native Hawaiian
flowering plant species is used to weigh the relative influences of environmental and …

In the Hawaiian Islands, massive volcanoes have created extreme elevation gradients,
resulting in environments ranging from nearly tropical to alpine, spread across a distance of …

The Hawaiian silversword alliance (Compositae) is a lineage of 28 Hawaiian-endemic
species in Argyroxiphium, Dubautia, and Wilkesia (Carr 1985) that has been regarded as" …

The Hawaiian islands, isolated by thousands of miles of ocean for millions of years, posses
a unique assemblage of native flowers and plants. This text describes more than 130 …
