Pterocarpus biogeography
Phenotypes which evolved for dispersal over ecological timescales may lead to significant macroevolutionary consequences, such as infrequent long-distance dispersal and diversification in novel environments. We aimed to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of Pterocarpus (Fabaceae, Leguminosae) to assess whether seed dispersal phenotypes help to explain the current biogeographical patterns of this group.
