“…The large magnoliid angiosperm family Annonaceae is prominent in lowland forests across the tropics (Gentry 1988, Slik et al 2003. Circumscription of genera within the family was initially founded on characters emphasizing the diversity of floral morphologies represented in the family, which recapitulates many trends found with angiosperm evolution at large (Johnson & Murray 1995, Endress & Doyle 2009, Endress 2011: apocarpy/syncarpy, polypetaly/sympetaly, bisexual/unisexual flowers, reductions in stamen and carpel number, and changes in ovule number.…”

Characterization of Hubera (Annonaceae), a new genus segregated from Polyalthia and allied to Miliusa

On the basis of molecular phylogenetics, pollen morphology and macromorphology, a new genus of the tribe Miliuseae, Hubera, segregrated from Polyalthia and allied to Miliusa, is established and described. It is characterized by the combination of reticulate tertiary venation of the leaves, axillary inflorescences, a single ovule per ovary and therefore single-seeded monocarps, seeds with a flat to slightly raised raphe, spiniform(-flattened peg) ruminations of the endosperm, and pollen with a finely and densely granular infratectum. Twenty-seven species are accordingly transferred to this new genus.

“…The roles of these environmental forces in driving biotic diversity and endemism remain underexplored, particularly in Borneo, the world's second largest tropical island as well as the easternmost Sunda region abutting the Wallace line (13,14). Its unusually high species endemism (14-16) suggests a combination of specialized ecological niches, refugia formation, and long periods of isolation.…”

Sundaland, a tropical hotspot of biodiversity comprising Borneo and Sumatra among other islands, the Malay Peninsula, and a shallow sea, has been subject to dramatic environmental processes. Thus, it presents an ideal opportunity to investigate the role of environmental mechanisms in shaping species distribution and diversity. We investigated the population structure and underlying mechanisms of an insular endemic, the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus). Phylogenetic reconstructions based on mtDNA sequences from 211 wild orangutans covering the entire range of the species indicate an unexpectedly recent common ancestor of Bornean orangutans 176 ka (95% highest posterior density, 72-322 ka), pointing to a Pleistocene refugium. High mtDNA differentiation among populations and rare haplotype sharing is consistent with a pattern of strong female philopatry. This is corroborated by isolation by distance tests, which show a significant correlation between mtDNA divergence and distance and a strong effect of rivers as barriers for female movement. Both frequency-based and Bayesian clustering analyses using as many as 25 nuclear microsatellite loci revealed a significant separation among all populations, as well as a small degree of male-mediated gene flow. This study highlights the unique effects of environmental and biological features on the evolutionary history of Bornean orangutans, a highly endangered species particularly vulnerable to future climate and anthropogenic change as an insular endemic.Asian great ape | genetic structure | radiation | geographical barriers | sociobehavioral barriers
