Leaps and bounds: geographical and ecological distance constrained the colonisation of the Afrotemperate by Erica

Abstract Background The coincidence of long distance dispersal (LDD) and biome shift is assumed to be the result of a multifaceted interplay between geographical distance and ecological suitability of source and sink areas. Here, we test the influence of these factors on the dispersal history of the...
