Abstract The East Asian flora (EAF) is a key biodiversity hotspot for understanding the origin
and evolution of Northern Hemisphere floras, but there is an ongoing debate on whether it is …

Evolutionary radiation is a widely recognized mode of species diversification, but its
underlying mechanisms have not been unambiguously resolved for species-rich …

Radiations are especially important for generating species biodiversity in mountainous
ecosystems. The contribution of hybridization to such radiations has rarely been examined …

Aim Understanding the evolution of the latitudinal diversity gradient (ie increase in species
diversity towards the tropics) is a prominent issue in ecology and biogeography …

Aim Significant changes in species elevational ranges in mountains have been repeatedly
documented, yet the direction, magnitude and drivers of these shifts remain controversial …

Urban plant diversity influences the social functioning and well-being of urban dwellers.
However, the patterns and drivers of plant diversity in tropical urban areas are still not …

The plant species in the mountainous regions might be relatively more vulnerable to climate
change. Understanding the potential effects of climate change on keystone species, such as …

Climate and land‐cover changes are major threats to biodiversity, and their impacts are
expected to intensify in the future. Protected areas (PAs) are crucial for biodiversity …

The relationship between Rhododendron simsii and its soil microbial community under heat
stress was not clear. In this study, the effects of heat stress on the physiological …

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, has a special geological history, diverse habitats, a complex
climate, and a large number of wetlands, which harbor a huge of wetland plants. In this …
