• Geographic patterns in range sizes and their drivers of endemic angiosperms in China 

      Wang, Yunyun; Lyu, Tong; Luo, Ao; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Geographic range size of endemic species is the most important indicator of species' vulnerability to extinction and conservation prioritization, yet variation in range size among species and across space has been relatively ...
    • Global distribution and evolutionary transitions of angiosperm sexual systems 

      Wang, Yunyun; Luo, Ao; Lyu, Tong; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Xu, Xiaoting; Freckleton, Robert P.; Yaoqui, Li; Su, Xiangyan; Li, Yichao; Liu, Yunpeng; Sandanov, Denis; Li, Qingjun; Hao, Zhanqing; Liu, Shuguang; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Angiosperm sexual systems are fundamental to the evolution and distribution of plant diversity, yet spatiotemporal patterns in angiosperm sexual systems and their drivers remain poorly known. Using data on sexual systems ...
    • Global distribution and evolutionary transitions of floral symmetry in angiosperms 

      Wang, Yunyun; Luo, Ao; Lyu, Tong; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Liu, Yunpeng; Li, Yichao; Xu, Xiaoting; Freckleton, Robert P.; Hao, Zhanqing; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Floral symmetry plays an important role in plant-pollinator interactions and may have remarkable impacts on angiosperm diversification. However, spatiotemporal patterns in floral symmetry and drivers of these patterns ...
    • Spatio-temporal patterns in the woodiness of flowering plants 

      Luo, Ao; Xu, Xiaoting; Liu, Yunpeng; Li, Yaoqi; Su, Xiangyan; Li, Yichao; Lyu, Tong; Dimitrov, Dimitar Stefanov; Larjavaara, Markku; Peng, Shijia; Chen, Yongsheng; Wang, Qinggang; Zimmermann, Niklaus E.; Pellissier, Loïc; Schmid, Bernhard; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aim Woody and herbaceous habits represent one of the most distinct contrasts among angiosperms, and the proportion of woody species in floras (i.e., “woodiness” hereafter) represents a fundamental structural element of ...
    • An updated floristic map of the world 

      Liu, Yunpeng; Xu, Xiaoting; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Pellissier, Loic; Borregaard, Michael K.; Shrestha, Nawal; Su, Xiangyan; Luo, Ao; Zimmermann, Niklaus E.; Rahbek, Carsten; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Floristic regions reflect the geographic organization of floras and provide essential tools for biological studies. Previous global floristic regions are generally based on floristic endemism, lacking a phylogenetic ...
