Investigating the evolutionary assembly of a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot: deep phylogenetic signal in the distribution of eudicots across elevational belts

[Access the paper here.](https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.12398) Aim: To reconstruct the historical assembly of the eudicot flora of Mediterranean sierras by examining compositional (CBD), phylogenetic (PBD) and functional (FBD) beta diversity between …

Intercontinental divergence in the climate envelope of major plant biomes

[Access the paper here.](https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.12257) Aim: Convergent evolution and environmental filtering are assumed to often result in deterministic patterns of vegetation structure and function in relation to prevailing environmental …

Radiation and repeated transoceanic dispersal of Schoeneae (Cyperaceae) through the southern hemisphere

[Access the paper here](https://doi.org/10.3732/ajb.1300105) PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The broad austral distribution of Schoeneae is almost certainly a product of long-distance dispersal. Owing to the inadequacies of existing phylogenetic data and a …
