Africa as an evolutionary arena for large fruits
Strong paleoclimatic change and few Late Quaternary megafauna extinctions make
mainland Africa unique among continents. Here, we hypothesize that, compared with …

Can we ignore trait-dependent colonization and diversification in island biogeography?
The application of state-dependent speciation and extinction models to phylogenetic trees
has shown an important role for traits in diversification. However, this role remains …

Incongruent spatial distribution of taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity in neotropical cocosoid palms
Biodiversity can be quantified by taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity. Current
evidence points to a lack of congruence between the spatial distribution of these facets due …
