DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04358-4
Abstract: Environmental gradients play a key role in shaping diversity in tropical forests. However, we have a little understanding of how evolutionary diversity is affected by gradients and the role of niche persistence in flooded forests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-55621-w
Abstract: Global patterns of species and evolutionary diversity in plants are primarily determined by a temperature gradient, but precipitation gradients may be more important within the tropics, where plant species richness is positively associated with the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2021132118
Abstract: Significance We explore an extended view of the tropical conservatism hypothesis to account for two often-neglected components of climatic stress: drought and the combined effect of seasonal cold and drought—the latter being a common feature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.2513
Abstract: The Western Ghats (WG) mountain chain is a global biodiversity hotspot with high diversity and endemicity of woody plants. The latitudinal breadth of the WG offers an opportunity to determine the evolutionary drivers of latitudinal… read more here.
