Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Species with habitat specificity show restricted distribution, and the limited dispersal provides opportunity for long-term isolation. Aquatic Podostemaceae grow on rocks in river rapids, which are extreme habitats for angiosperms. To infer the diversification process of the podostemad species in such specific habitats, we investigated environmental factors shaping their distribution and the...
