▪ Abstract The disjunct distributions of morphologically similar plants between eastern Asia
and eastern North America have fascinated botanists and biogeographers since the …

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 …

Northern Hemisphere forests changed drastically in the early Eocene with the diversification
of the oak family (Fagaceae). Cooling climates over the next 20 million years fostered the …

The establishment of modern terrestrial life is indissociable from angiosperm evolution.
While available molecular clock estimates of angiosperm age range from the Paleozoic to …

• Premise of the study: It has been 8 years since the last comprehensive analysis of
divergence times across the angiosperms. Given recent methodological improvements in …

The extraordinary contemporary species richness and ecological predominance of flowering
plants (angiosperms) are even more remarkable when considering the relatively recent …

At a time when historical biogeography appears to be again expanding its scope after a
period of focusing primarily on discerning area relationships using cladograms, new …

An important issue in the study of biodiversity is the extent to which global patterns of
species richness reflect large-scale processes and historical contingencies,. Ecological …

We report a time-calibrated stratigraphic section in Colorado that contains unusually
complete fossils of mammals, reptiles, and plants and elucidates the drivers and tempo of …

Phylogeography posits that the sequence of speciation events within a clade should parallel
the geographic migration and isolation of members of the clade through time. The primary …
