The Evolution of Trait Disparity during the Radiation of the Plant Genus <i>Macrocarpaea</i> (Gentianaceae) in the Tropical Andes

The evolutionary processes responsible for the extraordinary diversity in the middle elevation montane forests of the Tropical Andes (MMF; 1000–3500 m) remain poorly understood. It is not clear whether adaptive divergence, niche conservatism or geographical processes were the main contributors to th...
