For clades originating in warm climates,the tropical niche conservatism hypothesis predicts that current biological assemblages in colder or drier climates are expected to have lower phylogenetic diversity,and species...
Phylogenetic niche conservatism posits that species tend to retain ancestral ecological traits and distributions,which has been broadly tested for lineages originating in tropical climates but has been rarely tested f...

Plant mitochondrial protein-coding genes are slow evolving,and therefore are less subject to substitution saturation,and therefore perhaps more suitable for resolving deep relationships of high taxonomic categories.Pl...
