Journal ArticleDOI
The mahogany family "out-of-Africa": divergence time estimation, global biogeographic patterns inferred from plastid rbcL DNA sequences, extant, and fossil distribution of diversity.
TL;DR: Extensive Meliaceae fossil findings confirm that the entry of megathermal (frost-intolerant) angiosperms into southern continents from Oligocene to Pliocene must be considered as an important means of establishing pantropical distribution patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetics of Meliaceae (Sapindales) based on nuclear and plastid DNA sequences.
Alexandra N. Muellner,Rosabelle Samuel,Sheila A. Johnson,Martin Cheek,Terence D. Pennington,Mark W. Chase +5 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses of Meliaceae, including representatives of all four currently recognized subfamilies and all but two tribes, indicate a close relationship between Aglaieae and Guareeae and a possible monophyletic origin of Cedreleae of Swietenioideae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and evolution of Indomalesian, Australasian and Pacific island biotas: insights from Aglaieae (Meliaceae, Sapindales)
TL;DR: A well‐resolved phylogenetic tree for the tribe Aglaieae in the mahogany family, Meliaceae, is presented and used to investigate the origin, evolution and dispersal history of biotas in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placing Biebersteiniaceae, a herbaceous clade of Sapindales, in a temporal and geographic context
TL;DR: Strict and relaxed molecular clocks constrained with fossils of Biebersteinia and up to eight other Sapindales suggest that the Biebersteinian crown group diversified in the Oligocene and Miocene, while the stem lineage dates back to the Late Paleocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aglaia (Meliaceae): an evaluation of taxonomic concepts based on DNA data and secondary metabolites.
TL;DR: This study provides the first assessment of the current circumscription of Aglaieae, Aglaia, and its sections and to a more limited extent of species concepts in AgLAia.
