'Out-of-Africa' dispersal of tropical floras during the Miocene climatic optimum: evidence from Uvaria (Annonaceae)

Aim: African-Asian disjunctions are common in palaeotropical taxa, and are typically explained by reference to three competing hypotheses: (1) 'rafting' on the Indian tectonic plate, enabling Africa-to-Asia dispersal; (2) migration via Eocene boreotropical forests; and (3) transoceanic lon...
