Regional phylogeographical studies involving co‐distributed animal and plant species have
been conducted for several areas, most notably for Europe and the Pacific Northwest of …

Tertiary relict floras contain survivors from plant communities that were distributed
throughout a large part of the Northern Hemisphere during much of the Tertiary (ie 65–15 …

Tertiary macrofossils of the flowering plant family Leguminosae (legumes) were used as
time constraints to estimate ages of the earliest branching clades identified in separate …

A phylogenetic analysis of Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae was carried out using
sequence variation of the chloroplast gene rbc L. Our sampling included 108 species of …

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 …

A central aim of biogeography is to understand when and how modern patterns of species
diversity and distribution developed. Many plant groups have disjunct distributions within the …

The angiosperm family Fagaceae is a central element of several distinct community types
throughout the Northern Hemisphere and a prime candidate for modern biogeographic …

Humans have long utilized resources from all forest biomes, but the most indelible
anthropogenic signature has been the expanse of human populations in temperate forests …

Most previous molecular phylogenetic studies of Prunus have been conducted primarily with
crop species and their close relatives. As the center of crop diversity of the genus is in …

Recent studies of Northern Hemisphere biogeography have highlighted potentially
significant differences between disjunction patterns in plants versus animals. To assess …
