Unraveling the origins of Malesia's once vast, hyperdiverse rainforests is a perennial
challenge. Major contributions to rainforest assembly came from floristic elements carried on …

Faunal turnover in Indo-Australia across Wallace's Line is one of the most recognizable
patterns in biogeography and has catalyzed debate about the role of evolutionary and …

Background & Aims: The regions of Southeast Asia are recognized as global biodiversity
hotspots that require conservation priority. Since the mid-19th century, Southeast Asia has …

Species interactions are influenced by the trait structure of local multi‐trophic communities.
However, it remains unclear whether mutualistic interactions in particular can drive trait …

The Miocene convergence of the Sunda shelf, Sahul shelf and Wallacea facilitated the
exchange of previously isolated floras across the Sunda–Sahul Convergence Zone (SSCZ) …

Aim Recent investigations on the floristic exchange between Southeast Asia and Australia
have shown a clear dispersal directionality bias (West to East) of wet‐adapted plant taxa …

In New Guinea, low elevations are thought to be dominated by plant species with
biogeographic origins in Sunda (Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Mainland Asia) and high elevations …

Abstract The tropical Asian and Australasian floras have a close relationship, and is a vital
distribution pattern of seed plants worldwide. As estimated, more than 81 families and 225 …

Climate change is the most significant threat to natural World Heritage (WH) sites, especially
in the oceans. Warming has devastated marine faunas, including reef corals, kelp, and …

The general dynamic model (GDM) of oceanic island biogeography views oceanic islands
predominantly as sinks rather than sources of dispersing lineages. To test this, we …
