Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Lowiaceae was recovered as closest to Strelitziaceae.
- Observation Dark foul-smelling flower species form a grade containing a paler-flowered clade.
- Observation Pale-flowered species produce an odor resembling edible mushrooms.
- Observation Bornean species form a clade except for one species.
- Observation Indochinese species form a clade.
- Observation Remaining species form a wider-ranging clade.
- Mechanism Vicariance and gradual dispersal from a Borneo-Indochina ancestral range explain distribution.
- Observation A later range extension into Peninsular Malaysia coincided with a land bridge.
- Mechanism A sea barrier developing 10–15 MYA could explain early Indochina-Borneo isolation.
- Mechanism A land bridge lasting until about 5 MYA could explain movement between Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia.
- Mechanism A lack of suitable land bridge may explain absence from Sumatra and other Indonesian islands.
- Mechanism Fruit and seed traits may explain reliance on continuous habitat for range expansion.
- Mechanism Limited dispersal ability may explain restricted extant species distributions.
