High tropical net diversification drives the New World latitudinal gradient in palm (Arecaceae) species richness (2008, methodology): “…predicts that mean lineage net diversification will appear higher in less productive, cold and dry climates, away from the equator, reflecting an absence of old, relict lineages, and perhaps especially towards the south, reflecting a northern coryphoid immigration route (Bjorholm et al., 2006).”
Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. I. Historical biogeography (2013, background): “This hypothesis was based primarily on fossil evidence in the precollision Cenozoic of India for Eugeissona (Morley, 1998), the sister group of all remaining Calamoideae, which was interpreted as evidence for a vicariance driven by Gondwanan break-up.”
Species Diversity and Growth Forms in Tropical American Palm Communities (2011, background): “The local coexistence of palm species (in ‘palm communities’) and the mechanisms underlying the assembly and maintenance of this diversity has been the subject of some studies, especially in the Americas (Svenning, 1999, 2001a; Eiserhardt et al., 2011), but much remains to be researched.”
