The evolutionary history of central African rain forest plants: phylogeographic insights from sister species in the climber genus Haumania (Marantaceae)

摘要

AimududWe sought to test the refuge hypothesis as a major driver of genetic differentiation to explain the development of distinct phytogeographical domains in tropical Central African rain forest. To address this aim, we studied the phylogeographical pattern of a pair of sister plant species, Haumania danckelmaniana and H. liebrechtsiana (Marantaceae), distributed across the two phytogeographical domains: Lower Guinea and Congolia.udLocationududTropical Central Africa including the phytogeographical domains Lower Guinea and Congolia.
