When and how the extraordinary species diversity in subtropical East Asia formed is
intensely debated, and the available evidence is often inconsistent. In this study, we …

The evolutionary history of Quercus section Cyclobalanopsis, a dominant lineage in East
Asian evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs), has not been comprehensively studied using …

Nucleotide sequences from the plastome are currently the main source for assessing
taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships in flowering plants and their historical …

Aim The accumulation of supraspecific lineages in Asia has been linked to climatic changes
and tectonic events starting in the Miocene, but few studies have extended the intraspecific …

Historical geoclimatic events have shaped the distribution patterns and intraspecific
divergence of plants. Numerous phylogeographical studies in China have focused on the …

Introduction East Asia (EA), which falls within the region of the Asian monsoon that is
composed of the East Asia monsoon (EAM) and the Indian monsoon (IM), is known for its …

Standard models of plant speciation assume strictly dichotomous genealogies in which a
species, the ancestor, is replaced by two offspring species. The reality in wind‐pollinated …

Major topographic features facilitate intraspecific divergence through geographic isolation.
This process may be enhanced by environmental isolation along climatic gradients, but also …

Background Mountains have not only provided refuge for species, but also offered dispersal
corridors during the Neogene and Quaternary global climate changes. Compared with a …

Fagus L. is a key component in temperate deciduous broadleaf forests of the Northern
Hemisphere. However, its biogeographic history has not been examined under the …
