TL;DR: This investigation of the evolutionary routes to endemism on the 4,095-metre-high Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, East Malaysia finds that most of its unique biodiversity is younger than the mountain itself, and comprises a mix of immigrant pre-adapted lineages and descendants from local lowland ancestors, although substantial shifts from lower to higher vegetation zones in this latter group were rare.
Journal ArticleDOI
West to east dispersal and subsequent rapid diversification of the mega-diverse genus Begonia (Begoniaceae) in the Malesian archipelago

TL;DR: This study aimed to investigate the origin of Malesian Begonia, the directionality of dispersal events within the Malesian archipelago and the impact of ancient water gaps on colonization patterns, and to identify drivers of diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI
‘Out‐of‐Africa’ dispersal of tropical floras during the Miocene climatic optimum: evidence from Uvaria (Annonaceae)
TL;DR: Uvaria fruits are widely reported to be consumed by primates, and are therefore unlikely candidates for successful long-distance transoceanic dispersal, associated with the ‘out-of-Africa’ dispersal of primates.

Journal ArticleDOI
A mega-phylogeny of the Annonaceae: taxonomic placement of five enigmatic genera and support for a new tribe, Phoenicantheae
X. Guo,Chin Cheung Tang,Chin Cheung Tang,Daniel C. Thomas,Thomas L. P. Couvreur,Richard M. K. Saunders +5 more
TL;DR: The results provide strong support for many previously recognised groups, but also indicate non-monophyly of several genera (Desmopsis, Friesodielsia, Klarobelia, Oxandra, Piptostigma and Stenanona).
