Odd man out: why are there fewer plant species in African rain forests? (2014, background): “Keywords Odd man out Neotropics South-East Asia Diversification rates Extinction Fossil record Biogeography Palms”
Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. II. Diversification history and origin of regional assemblages (2013, methodology): “…such as Annonaceae, Melastomataceae, Meliaceae or the subfamily Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae) for which Africa has been shown to be an important source of dispersal events into other tropical regions (Morley & Dick, 2003; Muellner et al., 2006; Bartish et al., 2011; Couvreur et al., 2011b).”
Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. I. Historical biogeography (2013, methodology): “This is congruent with the earliest unequivocal palm fossils, which are reported from the Cretaceous of Europe and North America (Dransfield et al., 2008; Couvreur et al., 2011a).”
A new subfamilial and tribal classification of the pantropical flowering plant family Annonaceae informed by molecular phylogenetics (2012, unknown): “…of Anaxagorea A.St.-Hil., such characters showed high levels of homoplasy and limited phylogenetic utility compared with subsequent studies employing DNA sequence data (Doyle, Bygrave & Le Thomas, 2000; Mols et al., 2004; Richardson et al., 2004; Pirie et al., 2006; Couvreur et al., 2008, 2011).”
‘Out‐of‐Africa’ dispersal of tropical floras during the Miocene climatic optimum: evidence from Uvaria (Annonaceae) (2012, methodology): “This is similar to the estimate by Couvreur et al. (2011) of c. 106.3 Ma (95% HPD: 110.4–102.0 Ma), derived using the same methodology and fossil calibration points.”
Biogeographical patterns of plants in the Neotropics – dispersal rather than plate tectonics is most explanatory (2013, background): “Other examples of a boreotropics explanation include genera of Annonaceae (Scharaschkin & Doyle, 2005; Erkens, Maas & Couvreur, 2009; Couvreur et al., 2011; Erkens, Chatrou & Couvreur, 2012), Lauraceae (Chanderbali et al., 2001) and Malpighiaceae (Davis et al., 2002, 2004).”
