Molecular phylogenetics reveal multiple tertiary vicariance origins of the African rain forest trees
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Tropical rain forests are the most diverse terrestrial ecosystems on the planet. How this diversity evolved remains largely unexplained. In Africa, rain forests are situated in two geographically isolated regions: the West-Central Gu...
