The Sahul–Sunda floristic exchange: dated molecular phylogenies document Cenozoic intercontinental dispersal dynamics (2015, background): “However, some species were included if we were confident that the estimated age was reasonably accurate, for example widespread species recently diverged within Sahul–Sunda clades, such as Uvaria concava (Zhou et al., 2012) and Macaranga tanarius (van Welzen et al., 2014).”
Palaeotropical origins, boreotropical distribution and increased rates of diversification in a clade of edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms (Amanita section Caesareae) (2015, background): “In addition, similar biogeographical patterns with coinciding dates have been recently observed and discussed in plants (Couvreur et al., 2011; Zhou et al., 2011; Bacon et al., 2012), mammals (Bibi, 2011), birds (Irestedt et al., 2011) and insects (Kodandaramaiah & Wahlberg, 2007).”
Odd man out: why are there fewer plant species in African rain forests? (2014, background): “Other species-rich genera such as Duguetia (89 species in the neotropics four in Africa, Maas et al. 2003, Chatrou, pers. comm.) and Uvaria (80 species in Africa, 130 SEA and 20 in Madagascar, Zhou et al. 2012) have been reconstructed as being African in origin.”
