Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetics, temporal diversification, and principles of evolution in the mustard family (Brassicaceae).
Thomas L. P. Couvreur,Andreas Franzke,Ihsan A. Al-Shehbaz,Freek T. Bakker,Marcus A. Koch,Klaus Mummenhoff +5 more
TL;DR: The resulting tree, the largest in number of genera and markers sampled to date and covering the whole family in a representative way, provides important insights into the evolution of the family on a broad scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new subfamilial and tribal classification of the pantropical flowering plant family Annonaceae informed by molecular phylogenetics
Lars W. Chatrou,Michael D. Pirie,Roy H. J. Erkens,Roy H. J. Erkens,Thomas L. P. Couvreur,Kurt M. Neubig,J. Richard Abbott,Johan B. Mols,Jan W. Maas,Richard M. K. Saunders,Mark W. Chase +10 more
TL;DR: A robust family-wide phylogenetic tree and subsequent classification of Annonaceae is presented, for the first time, using a supermatrix of up to eight plastid markers sequenced from 193 ingroup and seven outgroup species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin and global diversification patterns of tropical rain forests: inferences from a complete genus-level phylogeny of palms.
TL;DR: This work constructed the first complete genus-level dated phylogeny of a largely TRF-restricted plant family with a known history dating back to the Cretaceous, providing evidence that diversification of extant lineages of palms started during the mid-Cretaceous period about 100 million years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cenozoic imprints on the phylogenetic structure of palm species assemblages worldwide
W. Daniel Kissling,Wolf L. Eiserhardt,William J. Baker,Finn Borchsenius,Thomas L. P. Couvreur,Henrik Balslev,Jens-Christian Svenning +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that continental isolation (in combination with limited long-distance dispersal) and changing climate and habitat loss throughout the Cenozoic have had strong impacts on the phylogenetic structure of regional species assemblages in the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early evolutionary history of the flowering plant family Annonaceae: Steady diversification and boreotropical geodispersal
Thomas L. P. Couvreur,Michael D. Pirie,Lars W. Chatrou,Richard M. K. Saunders,Yvonne C. F. Su,James E. Richardson,James E. Richardson,Roy H. J. Erkens +7 more
TL;DR: The pantropical plant family Annonaceae is used to test hypotheses that might explain diversification and distribution patterns in tropical biota: the museum hypothesis (low extinction leading to steady accumulation of species); and dispersal between Africa and Asia via Indian rafting versus boreotropical geodispersal.
