The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is the highest and one of the most extensive plateaus in
the world. Phylogenetic, phylogeographic, and ecological studies support plant …

This review shows a close biogeographic connection between eastern Asia and western
North America from the late Cretaceous to the late Neogene in major lineages of vascular …

Rubiaceae are one of the largest families of plants, with∼ 13,000 species. In this study, we
have estimated the phylogeny for 534 Rubiaceae taxa from 329 genera with up to five …

Two analyses are carried out for a reconstruction of the phylogeny of the large angiosperm
family Rubiaceae. The position of Luculia and Coptosapelta, unresolved or sister to all other …

Age estimation from molecular sequences has emerged as a powerful tool for inferring when
a plant lineage arrived in a particular area. Knowing the tenure of lineages within a region is …

Rhodiola L.(Crassulaceae) is a mid-sized plant genus consisting of about 70 species, with
most species distributed on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and the adjacent areas, and …

The present paper reviews advances in the study of two major intercontinental disjunct
biogeographic patterns:(i) between Eurasian and western North American deserts with the …

This study employs three nuclear genes (PHYA, LFY, and GAI1) to reconstruct the
phylogenetic and biogeographic history of Magnoliaceae. A total of 104 samples …

The disjunct distribution of the subgenus Anguinum of the genus Allium makes it a good
candidate to test models of Northern hemisphere biogeography. Here we conduct …

Seventy‐nine species representing 12 genera of Vitaceae were sequenced for the trnL‐F
spacer, 37 of which were subsequently sequenced for the atpB‐rbcL spacer and the rps16 …
