A consistent species richness–climate relationship for oaks across the Northern Hemisphere
Xu, Xiaoting; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Shrestha, Nawal; Rahbek, Carsten; Wang, Zhiheng (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-15)Aim Although the effects of climate on species richness are known, regional processes may lead to different species richness–climate relationships across continents resulting in species richness anomalies, especially for ... -
Diversification of flowering plants in space and time
Dimitrov, Dimitar; Xu, Xiaoting; Su, Xiangyan; Shrestha, Nawal; Liu, Yunpeng; Kennedy, Jonathan D.; Lyu, Lisha; Nogués-Bravo, David; Rosindell, James; Yang, Yong; Fjeldså, Jon; Liu, Jianquan; Schmid, Bernhard; Fang, Jingyun; Rahbek, Carsten; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The rapid diversification and high species richness of flowering plants is regarded as ‘Darwin’s second abominable mystery’. Today the global spatiotemporal pattern of plant diversification remains elusive. Using a newly ... -
Diversity patterns and conservation gaps of Magnoliaceae species in China
Xie, Huanhuan; Tang, Yigong; Fu, Jiao; Chi, Xiulian; Du, Weihua; Dimitrov, Dimitar Stefanov; Liu, Jianquan; Xi, Zhenxiang; Wu, Jianyong; Xu, Xiaoting (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Magnoliaceae, a primitive group of angiosperms and distinguished ornamental plants with more than 100 species in China, is one of the most threatened plant family in the wild due to logging, habitat loss, over-collection ... -
Geographical patterns in phylogenetic diversity of Chinese woody plants and its application for conservation planning
Cai, Hongyu; Lyu, Lisha; Shrestha, Nawal; Tang, Zhiyao; Su, Xiangyan; Xu, Xiaoting; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aim Biodiversity hotspots are widely used as conservation priorities to preserve the tree of life. However, many conservation practices identify biodiversity hotspots without considering phylogenetic diversity (PD), which ... -
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 ... -
Global patterns of species richness of the holarctic alpine herb Saxifraga: The role of temperature and habitat heterogeneity
Liu, Lian; Xu, Xiaoting; Zhang, Lei; Li, Yaoqi; Shrestha, Nawal; Neves, Danilo M; Wang, Qinggang; Chang, Hong; Su, Xiangyan; Liu, Yunpeng; Wu, Jianyong; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Wang, Zhiheng; Jianquan, Liu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The effects of contemporary climate, habitat heterogeneity and long-term climate change on species richness are well studied for woody plants in forest ecosystems, but poorly understood for herbaceous plants, especially ... -
Phylogenetic conservatism and biogeographic affinity influence woody plant species richness–climate relationships in eastern Eurasia
Su, Xiangyan; Shrestha, Nawal; Xu, Xiaoting; Sandanov, Denis; Wang, Qinggang; Wang, Siyang; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Mechanisms underlying species richness patterns remain a central yet controversial issue in biology. Climate has been regarded as a major determinant of species richness. However, the relative influences of different ... -
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 ...
