BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Drylands cover nearly 41% of Earth’s land surface and face a high risk of degradation worldwide. However, the actual timeframe during which dryland floras rose on a global scale remains unknown.

Immigration dynamics of tropical and subtropical Southeast Asian limestone karst floras
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2022 Ex situ origins and dispersal of taxa have played important roles in the assembly of island-like biodiversity hotspots. Insular limestone karsts in Southeast Asia are hotspots of biodiversity and endemism, but the immigration processes of their unique ...

Impact of mid Eocene greenhouse warming on America’s southernmost floras
Communications Biology, 2021 A major climate shift took place about 40 Myr ago—the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum or MECO—triggered by a significant rise of atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Source pools and disharmony of the world's island floras
Ecography, 2020 Island disharmony refers to the biased representation of higher taxa on islands compared to their mainland source regions and represents a central concept in island biology.

GIFT – A Global Inventory of Floras and Traits for macroecology and biogeography
bioRxiv, 2019 To understand how traits and evolutionary history shape the geographic distribution of plant life on Earth, we need to integrate high-quality and global-scale distribution data with functional and phylogenetic information.

The evolution of African plant diversity
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Sub-Saharan Africa includes some 45,000 plant species. The spatial patterns of this diversity have been well explored. We can group the species into a set of biogeographical regions (largely co-incident with regions defined for terrestrial vertebrate ...

Early recognition by Ball and Hooker in 1878 of plant back-colonization (boomerang) events from Macaronesia to Africa [PDF]
, 2020 Recent work in island biogeography has shown that back-colonization (‘boomerang’ events) from islands to continents have occurred more frequently than previously understoodWe report possibly the earliest inference of this pattern, by John Ball and Joseph

China's Beech Forests in the Pre-Quaternary [PDF]
Fossil Record, 1998 Fagus in China is never dominant in Late Cretaceous and Tertiary floras although it might reach its highest diversity in the Miocene. The genus Fagus was more widely distributed during the Palaeogene than in the Neogene.
