However, knowledge about shift with impact change using genomic data remains rare. Here, we focus on Litsea complex (Lauraceae), a key lineage dominant EBLFs, gain insights into how shifted, providing origin historical dynamics EBLFs Asia Cenozoic climate change. We reconstructed robust phylogeny genome-wide single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) eight clades resolved. Fossil-calibrated analyses, diversification rate shifts, ancestral habit, ecological niche modelling reconstruction were employed estimate its pattern. Taking account studies other plant lineages dominating Asia, it was revealed that prototype probably emerged Early Eocene (55-50 million years ago [Ma]), facilitated by greenhouse warming. As response cooling drying Middle Late (48-38 Ma), habits evolved Up Miocene (23 prevailing Asian monsoon increased extreme seasonal precipitation accelerated emergence lineages, ultimately shaped vegetation resembling today.

Summary Evergreen broad‐leaved forests (EBLFs) are dominated by a monsoon climate and form distinct biome in East Asia with notably high biodiversity. However, the origin evolution of Asian EBLFs (EAEBLFs) remain elusive despite estimation divergence times for various representative lineages. Using 72 selected generic‐level characteristic lineages, we constructed an integrated lineage accumulation rate (LAR) curve based on their crown ages. According to crown‐based LAR, EAEBLF was identified at least as early Oligocene ( c. 31.8 million years ago (Ma)). The genera peaked 25.2 6.4 Ma, coinciding two intensification periods – Miocene Pliocene boundaries, respectively. Moreover, LAR highly correlated precipitation region negatively global temperature, revealed through time‐lag cross‐correlation analyses.

Abstract The Himalayas represent a complex mountain system housing some of the world's richest floras along with high level endemism. Among them, Lysionotus (Gesneriaceae) stands out as small genus (~34 species) that is unexpectedly distributed across southern to eastern Asia. Within this genus, forests south Pan‐Himalaya region emerge hotspot diversity, hosting most epiphytic and endemic species. To explore origin, evolutionary history development current distribution pattern , we inferred highly resolved phylogenetic framework using 649 nuclear genes sourced from transcriptomes for 27 We revealed three major clades within strong support, corresponding genus's classification into sections (sects.

East Asia (EA), which falls within the region of Asian monsoon that is composed (EAM) and Indian (IM), known for its high species diversity endemism. This has been attributed to extreme physiographical heterogeneity in conjunction with climate sea-level changes during Pleistocene, this hypothesis widely proven by phylogeographic studies. Recently, dated phylogenies have indicated origins (stem age) flora occurred after Oligocene-Miocene boundary are related establishment EAM.Hence, study further examined whether strengthening monsoons triggered floral evolution via a meta-analysis tempo-spatial pattern evolutionary radiation dates (crown ages) 101 endemic seed plant genera.Taxonomic diversification began late Eocene, whereas accumulated number diversifications did not significantly accelerate until Miocene. The distribution weighted mean average divergence times EAM, IM, or transitional regions all fall mid-late Fossils Tertiary relict genera mostly distributed outside EA only half earliest fossils older than Miocene, while their time monotypic polytypic taxa suggest climatic Pliocene exert more influence on taxa.The two key stages coincide intensifications EAM especially summer brings humid climate.

Although the frequency of ancient hybridization across Tree Life is greater than previously thought, little work has been devoted to uncovering extent, timeline, and geographic ecological context hybridization. Using an expansive new dataset nuclear chloroplast DNA sequences, we conducted a multifaceted phylogenomic investigation identify reticulation in early evolution oaks (Quercus). We document extensive gene tree cytonuclear discordance among major lineages Quercus relatives Quercoideae. Our analyses recovered clear signatures flow against backdrop rampant incomplete lineage sorting, with most prevalent Quercoideae during their initial radiation, dated Early-Middle Eocene. Ancestral reconstructions including fossils suggest ancestors Castanea + Castanopsis, Lithocarpus, Old World oak clade probably co-occurred North America Eurasia, while Chrysolepis, Notholithocarpus, New America, offering ample opportunity for each region. study shows that hybridization-perhaps form syngameons like those seen today-has common important process throughout evolutionary history relatives. Concomitantly, this provides methodological framework detecting other groups.
