Timing the origin and expansion of the Mexican tropical dry forest.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 2 Aug 2005

Becerra Judith X

Abstract excerpt

Macroevolution examines the temporal patterns of biological diversity in deep time. When combined with biogeography, it can provide unique information about the historical changes in the distribution of communities and biomes. Here I document temporal and spatial changes of diversity in the genus Bursera and relate them to the origin and expansion of the tropical dry forests of Mexico. Bursera is very old, highly...
