Abstract Astragalus (Fabaceae) is astoundingly diverse in temperate, cold arid regions of Earth, positioning this group as a model clade for investigating the distribution of plant diversity in the face of climatic challenge. Here we identify the spatial distribution of diversity and endemism in Astragalus, using species distribution models for 752 species and a phylogenetic tree comprising 847 species.

Phylogenetic diversity and regionalization of root nodule symbiosis

By Ryan A Folk, Michael W. Belitz, Carolina M. Siniscalchi, Heather Rose Kates
| biorxiv.org
Abstract Aim: Here we determine centers of species richness (SR), relative phylogenetic diversity (RPD) and centers of paleo- and neo-endemism, and regionalizations of phylogenetic diversity in the mimosoid clade of the legumes to understand the distribution and environmental associates of mimosoids lacking RNS (root nodule symbiosis). Location: Global. Time period: Present. Major taxa studied: Mimosoid legumes.
