Multimillion-year climatic effects on palm species diversity in Africa.

Ecology - 1 Nov 2013

Blach-Overgaard Anne, Kissling W Daniel, Dransfield John, Balslev Henrik, Svenning Jens-Christian

Abstract excerpt

Past climatic changes have caused extinction, speciation, and range dynamics, but assessing the influence of past multimillion-year climatic imprints on present-day biodiversity patterns remains challenging. We analyzed a new continental-scale data set to examine the importance of paleoclimatic effects on current gradients in African palm richness patterns. Using climate reconstructions from the late Miocene (-10...
