There and back again: historical biogeography of neotropical magnolias based on high-throughput sequencing
Our results suggest that Neotropical magnolias originated from a North American ancestor. The current sections arrived at the region independently influenced by climatic processes such as temperature drops or the Miocene Climatic Optimum. Additionally, geological processes, such as the movement of the South and North American land masses and the emergence of the Panama isthmus, facilitated the migration between continents.
