Phylogenetic biome niche conservatism underlies the evolution of forest paleoendemic legume trees in tropical Africa

2025-01-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Niche conservatism is prevalent during the evolution of plant lineages. However, inferring biome niche lability and its impact on tropical tree species diversification is currently limited. To better understand biome niche lability and its effect on diversification rates, we analyzed an endemic lineage of African tropical trees, testing whether biome niche type (forest vs savanna) and biome labil...
