The geography of connectivity shapes plant endemism hotspots Open
The high biodiversity in mountains is attributed to species accumulation from dispersal, high habitat heterogeneity and local speciation. Landscape connectivity thereby influences colonization and speciation processes, making its net effec…

The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems Open
Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transfor…

Contrasting evolutionary trajectories of terrestrial vertebrates in the Hengduan Mountains hotspot Open
The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) harbor the richest temperate diversity in the Northern Hemisphere, yet our understanding of how this exceptionally diverse biota evolved remains obscure. Large-scale historical biogeographic analyses of 851 ter…

Plant diversification is associated with habitat disruption in the transient Hengduan Mountains Open
Mountain regions harbor disproportionally high biodiversity levels on Earth, which can hardly be explained solely by contemporary climate and heterogeneity. The complex interactions between the geological and climate dynamics in the mounta…

New age constraints on the Early Oligocene flora diversity and surface uplift of the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau Open
Sedimentary basins in the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau yield valuable geophysical and fossil records, documenting the paleoenvironmental and biodiversity changes in the Tibetan Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains. Constraining…

The Synergistic Effects of AMF Inoculation and Boron Deficiency on the Growth and Physiology of Camellia oleifera Seedlings Open
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis has been shown to improve the ability to obtain nutrients and resist adverse environmental conditions. However, there are few studies on the functions of AMF in the absorption and accumulation o…

Unbiased clade age estimation using a Bayesian Brownian Bridge Open
In a recent paper 1 we presented a new model, the Bayesian Brownian Bridge (BBB), to infer clade age based on fossil evidence and modern diversity. We benchmarked the method with extensive simulations, including a wide range of diversifica…

The impact of major geological events on Chinese flora Open
Geological events are one of the critical factors that are responsible for the formation and development of regional flora.Major geological events are discussed in this article with an emphasis on their impacts on dominant elements of ever…
