Abstract excerpt
Islands serve as natural laboratories for studying evolution. In fast-flowing rivers, rapids and waterfalls are discrete rocky habitats, acting as insular freshwater landscape units. In the Neotropics, these riverine archipelagos are inhabited by one group of angiosperms, the Podostemaceae. We used Marathrum foeniculaceum, a species distributed across the Americas, to test ecological hypotheses derived from...
