Distributed across two continents and thousands of islands, the Asian tropics are among most species-rich areas on Earth. The origins this diversity, however, remain poorly understood. Here, we reveal classify contributions individual tropical regions to their overall diversity by leveraging species-level phylogenomic data new fossils from palm lineage, rattans relatives (Arecaceae, Calamoideae). Radiators (Borneo) generate distribute incubators (Indochina, New Guinea, Sulawesi) produce in...
Studies investigating the evolution of flowering plants have long focused on isolating mechanisms such as pollinator specificity. Some recent studies proposed a role for introgressive hybridization between species, recognizing that processes specialization may not be complete barriers to hybridization. Occasional therefore lead distinct yet reproductively connected lineages. We investigate balance introgression and reproductive isolation in diverse clade using densely sampled phylogenomic...
Besides Begonia conipila, 13 new species (Begonia apiensis, B. benaratensis, conniegeriae, divergens, lucychongiana, magentifolia, melinauensis, ramosissima, rhodoneura, umbratica, vulgare, yiii and xiphophylloides) a putative natural hybrid between conipila lucychongiana are described from the Melinau limestone. All these endemic in limestone 10 restricted to habitats. The includes highest hills Malaysia with Gunung Api (1710 m) Benarat (1615 m), which above 800 m covered by montane forest....
Rafflesia tuan-mudae Becc. (Rafflesiaceae) is endemic to Borneo and was recorded from Sarawak probably Kalimantan. Previous records showed that Tetrastigma rafflesiae (Miq.) Planch. (Vitaceae) the only host plant for R. . In this study plants were collected each time observed or collected. Out of 20 specimens infected by , 14 identified as T. diepenhorstii Latiff while 6 belonged Therefore, a new descriptions are presented.
