Assembly and division of the South and South-East Asian flora in relation to tectonics and climate change (2018, background): “They arrived about 10 Ma later in Australia (Dettmann 1994) and India (Srivastava 1983, Morley 2003).”
Molecular dating of the ‘Gondwanan’ plant family Proteaceae is only partially congruent with the timing of the break‐up of Gondwana (2007, background): “Similarly, hypotheses of now-submerged stepping stones between Africa and South America that could have aided dispersal (as hypothesized for the Panopsis– Brabejum disjunction, discussed above) have been proposed (Morley, 2003).”
Phylogeny and biogeography in Solanaceae, Verbenaceae and Bignoniaceae: a comparison of continental and intercontinental diversification patterns (2013, background): “The crown age of Verbenaceae has been estimated to be a minimum of c. 40 Mya (Nie et al., 2006), whereas the stem age ranges from a minimum of 48 Mya (Wikström et al., 2001) to 62 Mya (Bremer et al., 2004).”
Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. II. Diversification history and origin of regional assemblages (2013, background): “These dispersal events correlate with periods of global warming and TRF expansion into the Northern Hemisphere (Morley, 2003).”
Vicariance or long‐distance dispersal: historical biogeography of the pantropical subfamily Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae) (2011, background): “Hallam (1994) and Morley (2000, 2003) have also suggested the possibility that some groups may have migrated via a southern route through Antarctica.”
‘Andean‐centred’ genera in the short‐branch clade of Annonaceae: testing biogeographical hypotheses using phylogeny reconstruction and molecular dating (2006, background): “…compilation ª 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd America is that of an island continent only recently connected to North America via the Panamanian isthmus in the Pliocene (Burnham & Graham, 1999), may thus underestimate the role of dispersal in the origin of pantropical disjunctions (Morley, 2003).”
Angiosperm polyploids and their road to evolutionary success (2010, background): “It is thought that a drastic global cooling that occurred approximately 33 million years ago(57) resulted in the extinction of several ‘moister’ clades and an increase in deciduous/dryadapted flora in Europe.(58) The authors suggested that the Brassicaceae family originated as a tropical/subtropical”
A reconstruction of Palaeo‐Macaronesia, with particular reference to the long‐term biogeography of the Atlantic island laurel forests (2011, background): “However, it seems to us that the vicariance–dispersalism controversy becomes more easily resolvable if it is accepted that islands have always been built and destroyed throughout the history of the great oceans, thus extending the time-scale over which such migrations have been possible, and allowin”
West to east dispersal and subsequent rapid diversification of the mega‐diverse genus Begonia (Begoniaceae) in the Malesian archipelago (2012, background): “…raft and continental Southeast Asia, e.g. Crypteroniaceae (Rutschmann et al., 2004), Dipterocarpaceae (Morley, 2003); (4) Australia, with colonization of Malesia from the Australian continent, e.g. Proteaceae (Barker et al., 2007), Nothofagus (Morley, 2003), Eucalyptus (Ladiges et al., 2003).”
Late Cretaceous–Early Eocene origin of yams (Dioscorea, Dioscoreaceae) in the Laurasian Palaearctic and their subsequent Oligocene–Miocene diversification (2016, background): “However, Dioscoreaceae fossils provide evidence that tropical yams likely persisted in central Europe until the Early Oligocene (33 Ma; Andre anszky, 1959).”
Direction and timing of uplift propagation in the Peruvian Andes deduced from molecular phylogenetics of highland biotaxa (2008, result): “This is in agreement with consistent suggestions that diversification of angiosperms occurred much earlier than their first, Early Cretaceous, fossil record (e.g., McLoughlin, 2001; Morley, 2003; Bell et al., 2005).”
Testing geological models of evolution of the Isthmus of Panama in a phylogenetic framework (2013, unknown): “The combined processes of plate disassembly and redistribution, together with phases of global warming and cooling, are thought to have afforded plants intermittent dispersal opportunities that could have contributed to the direction of angiosperm diversiﬁcation (Morley, 2003).”
Temporal and spatial origin of Gesneriaceae in the New World inferred from plastid DNA sequences (2013, background): “According to our biogeographical reconstruction, a first dispersal of Gesneriaceae from the NW to the Palaeotropics could have occurred during the late Palaeocene/Early Eocene thermal maximum following the Antarctica route (Fig.”
Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. I. Historical biogeography (2013, background): “This distribution corresponds to the ‘northern mid-latitude megathermal belt’ of Morley (2000, 2003), which is thought to be the putative ancestral area for several other pantropical megathermal clades such as Annonaceae (Couvreur et al., 2011b), Menispermaceae (Wang et al., 2012) and Zingiberales…”
