Species diversity patterns within a big Neotropical genus: recent radiations in <i>Philodendron</i> (Araceae) in Central America
The diversification of Philodendron in Central America aligns with major geological events and the emergence of novel habitats. Compared to previous studies, our findings highlight the importance of a geographically and taxonomically comprehensive sampling for accurately reconstructing the evolutionary history of large plant genera.
