Monsoon intensification in East Asia triggered the evolution of its flora by Jun-Wei Ye, Jun-Wei Ye, Bin Tian, De-Zhu Li

“…Recently, dated phylogenies have indicated that the origins (stem age) of the flora occurred after the Oligocene–Miocene boundary and are related to the establishment of the EAM.MethodsHence, this study further examined whether the strengthening of the monsoons triggered floral evolution via a meta-analysis of the tempo-spatial pattern of evolutionary radiation dates (crown ages) of 101 endemic seed plant genera.ResultsTaxonomic diversification began during the late Eocene, whereas the accumulated number of diversifications did not significantly accelerate until the late Miocene. …”
