Ancient vicariance or recent long-distance dispersal? Inferences about phylogeny and South American-African disjunctions in rapateaceae and bromeliaceae based on ndhF sequence data
Download2004
Evans, T.M., Sytsma, K.J., Givnish, T.J., Berry, P.E., Hall, J.C., Pires, J.C., Millam, K.C.
Rapateaceae and Bromeliaceae each have a center of diversity in South America and a single species native to a sandstone area in west Africa that abutted the Guayana Shield in northern South America before the Atlantic rifted. They thus provide ideal material for examining the potential role of...

Biogeographic histories and genetic diversity of western North American tree species: implications for climate change
DownloadFall 2013
Over the last two million years, the evolution of North American tree species, subspecies, and genetic varieties has taken place in a constantly changing landscape often dominated by extensive ice sheets and restricted temperate climate environments. Here, I approximately reconstruct post-glacial...
