High tropical net diversification drives the New World latitudinal gradient in palm (Arecaceae) species richness (2008, background): “Suprageneric classification followed that of Dransfield et al. (2005), while species names generally followed the system of Henderson et al. (1995); see Appendix S1 for further details.”
A new subfamily classification of the palm family (Arecaceae): evidence from plastid DNA phylogeny (2006, methodology): “Such a reorganization (Dransfield et al., 2005) results in eight tribes (Fig.”
The fossil history of palms (Arecaceae) in Africa and new records from the Late Oligocene (28–27 Mya) of north-western Ethiopia (2006, background): “Other Middle Miocene palm fossils include a possible Phoeniceae (Coryphoideae; Dransfield et al., 2005) seed from the Rusinga Flora of Kenya (M. E. Collinson, pers. comm.), which is interpreted as a tropical moist (perhaps gallery) forest (Chesters, 1957).”
