“…The multiple Eocene fossils from eastern North America and Europe (MacGinitie, 1969;Dilcher & Dolph, 1970;Dilcher & Lott, 2005;Hofmann et al, 2015) attributed to the Asian Palmate suggest that the migration route was through the North Atlantic bridges. Similar Eocene North Atlantic migrations were documented for many other Asian tropical plant lineages (Amaryllidaceae, Meerow et al, 1999;Magnoliaceae, Azuma et al, 2001;Nie et al, 2008;Lauraceae, Chanderbali et al, 2001;Li et al, 2011;Huang et al, 2016;Fabaceae, Lavin et al, 2005;Annonaceae, Couvreur et al, 2011). However, in most of these cases, the colonization of the Neotropics did not occur until the Miocene.…”

Traditional phylogenies based on analysis of multiple genes have failed to obtain a well‐resolved evolutionary history for the backbone of the Asian Palmate group of Araliaceae, the largest clade of the family. In this study, we applied the genome skimming approach of next‐generation sequencing to address whether the lack of resolution at the base of the Asian Palmate tree is due to molecular sampling error or the footprint of ancient radiation. Twenty‐nine complete plastid genomes of Araliaceae (17 newly sequenced) were analyzed (RAxML, Beast, Lagrange, and BioGeoBears) to provide the first phylogenomic reconstruction of the group (95% of genera included). As a result, the early divergences of the Asian Palmate group have been clarified but the backbone of its core is not totally resolved, with short internal branches pointing to an ancient radiation scenario. East Asia is inferred as the most likely ancestral area for the Asian Palmate group (from late Paleocene to Eocene) from which early colonization of the Neotropics is inferred during the Eocene. The radiation of the core Palmate group took place during the late Eocene, most likely in the context of the Boreotropical hypothesis. Recurrent episodes of southward migration (to the tropics) coupled with northern latitude local extinctions (promoting geographic isolation of lineages) followed by northward expansion (promoting contact of lineages that erased the trace of preceding geographic isolation) are hypothesized to have linked to the alternation of the cold and warm periods of the Eocene.

“…For the Bayesian analysis, the dataset was partitioned by markers. Modeltest 3.7 [64, 65] was used to select the best-fit evolutionary model for each partition according to the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) [66]. The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm was run with one cold and three heated chains for 5,000,000 generations, which started from random trees and sampling one out of every 500 generations.…”

“…Inspection of the log likelihood values suggested that stationarity was reached well before the first 25% implemented as default value for the burn-in and the remaining 75% were used for constructing the consensus tree with the proportion of bifurcations found in this consensus tree given as posterior probabilities (PP). MP analysis was conducted using the following heuristic search options: tree-bisection-reconnection (TBR) branch swapping, collapse of zero length branches and MulTrees on, with 1000 random taxon additions, saving 100 trees from each random sequence addition [66]. All character states were regarded as unordered and equally weighted.…”

Lauraceae are an important component of tropical and subtropical forests and have major ecological and economic significance. Owing to lack of clear-cut morphological differences between genera and species, this family is an ideal case for testing the efficacy of DNA barcoding in the identification and discrimination of species and genera. In this study, we evaluated five widely recommended plant DNA barcode loci matK, rbcL, trnH–psbA, ITS2 and the entire ITS region for 409 individuals representing 133 species, 12 genera from China. We tested the ability of DNA barcoding to distinguish species and as an alternative tool for correcting species misidentification. We also used the rbcL+matK+trnH–psbA+ITS loci to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of the species examined. Among the gene regions and their combinations, ITS was the most efficient for identifying species (57.5%) and genera (70%). DNA barcoding also had a positive role for correcting species misidentification (10.8%). Furthermore, based on the results of the phylogenetic analyses, Chinese Lauraceae species formed three supported monophyletic clades, with the Cryptocarya group strongly supported (PP = 1.00, BS = 100%) and the clade including the Persea group, Laureae and Cinnamomum also receiving strong support (PP = 1.00, BS = 98%), whereas the Caryodaphnopsis–Neocinnamomum received only moderate support (PP = 1.00 and BS = 85%). This study indicates that molecular barcoding can assist in screening difficult to identify families like Lauraceae, detecting errors of species identification, as well as helping to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships. DNA barcoding can thus help with large-scale biodiversity inventories and rare species conservation by improving accuracy, as well as reducing time and costs associated with species identification.

“…Similar bird‐dispersed traits may have assisted long‐distance dispersal in other tropical families, such as the fleshy berries of Melastomataceae (Renner, 2004b), and the dehiscent fruits of Meliaceae (Koenen, Clarkson, Pennington, & Chatrou, ). Furthermore, seasonally migratory frugivorous birds, or large‐bodied and strong‐flying fruit pigeons ( Ptilinopus ) and frugivorous hornbills ( Penelopides ) (Holbrook et al., ; Kissling, Böhning‐Gaese, & Jetz, ) may have assisted historical “island hopping” of Annonaceae and other tropical plants lineages across Asia, Oceania and the Pacific (e.g., in Cinnamomum , Lauraceae, Huang et al., ). Against our expectation, we found that cauliflorous fruits (sometimes associated with bat‐dispersal, Table ), may hinder long‐distance dispersal (Figure h).…”

Aim Long‐distance dispersal has contributed to the disjunct biogeographical distribution of rain forest plants—something that has fascinated biogeographers since Humboldt's time. However, the dispersal agent for these tropical plant lineages remains puzzling. Here, we investigate which frugivory‐related traits may have facilitated past intercontinental long‐distance dispersal in the custard apple family (Annonaceae), a major vertebrate‐dispersed tropical plant family. We hypothesize that long‐distance dispersal was associated with the evolution of traits related to dispersal by large‐bodied mammals (e.g., large, dull‐coloured, “megafaunal” fruits) and strong‐flying, ocean‐crossing birds and bats (e.g., dehiscent, moniliform or cauliflorous fruits). Location Global. Taxon Annonaceae. Methods We used a fossil‐calibrated phylogenetic framework to infer the biogeographic history of 234 Annonaceae species (10%, covering nearly all genera) in relation to the evolution of 15 frugivory‐related traits, using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inferences. Furthermore, we used linear and generalized linear models and phylogenetic simulations to test whether ancestral fruit traits during intercontinental dispersal were different from those of other lineages not involved in long‐distance dispersal. Results We inferred the ancestral Annonaceae fruits to be small with a single or few small seeds and a small number of fruitlets. These fruits were most probably apocarpous, indehiscent and/or moniliform (i.e., long beads of fruitlets). Furthermore, most of the long‐distance dispersal events in Annonaceae occurred via the expanded tropical forests in the Early Cenozoic (“geodispersal”), and were significantly associated with large (c. 3 cm long), dull‐coloured fruits and short stipes. Additionally, long‐distance dispersal was also facilitated by dehiscent, moniliform and non‐cauliflorous fruits. Main conclusions We suggest that the evolution of frugivory‐related traits associated with dispersal by frugivores that frequently move across large distances and/or barriers, such as large‐bodied mammals and strong‐flying birds, has contributed to the disjunct tropical biogeographical distribution of Annonaceae, and probably of tropical rain forest plants more generally.
