Existing global regionalization schemes for plants consider the compositional affinities
among biotas, but these have not explicitly considered phylogenetic information. Here, we …

Angiosperms, a trigger for the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution (KTR), underwent a rapid
expansion and occupied all the environments during the Mid-Upper Cretaceous. Yet …

Aim Vascular epiphytes are ubiquitous components of wet tropical forests where they
contribute substantially to local and regional plant diversity. While some basic epiphyte …

Aim Rain forest‐restricted plant families show disjunct distributions between the three major
tropical regions: South America, Africa and Asia. Explaining these disjunctions has become …

Although congruence among multiple taxa is accepted as the basis of the cladistic approach
to biogeography, seldom has congruence been tested for patterns within continents …

New Caledonia is well known for its rich and unique flora. Many studies have focused on the
biogeographical origins of New Caledonian plants but rates of diversification on the island …

Abstract Aim The North American Coastal Plain is currently recognized as a global
biodiversity hotspot. However, the mechanisms driving high levels of species richness in a …

The angiosperm family Fagaceae is a central element of several distinct community types
throughout the Northern Hemisphere and a prime candidate for modern biogeographic …

Biogeography and community ecology can mutually illuminate the formation of a regional
species pool or biome. Here, we apply phylogenetic methods to a large and diverse plant …

We explore patterns of diversification in the plant clades Adoxaceae and Valerianaceae
(within Dipsacales), evaluating correlations between biogeographic change (ie, movements …
