Claim · model-written summary

The second clade contains geographically widespread herbaceous and woody genera, often of humid or aquatic settings with smaller water dispersed seeds.

Outcome

expansion in the Late Cretaceous of a North American lineage through Laurasia to Africae0

Verbatim

e0

“subsequent expansion in the Late Cretaceous of a North American lineage through Laurasia to Africa via a boreotropical route”

Claim · model-written summary

Two later South American clade expansions to Africa are hypothesized in the Palaeocene and Eocene.

Taxon

LythraceaeLythraceaet0

Outcome

expansions of South American clades to Africae0

Verbatim

e0

“Two later expansions of South American clades to Africa in the Palaeocene and Eocene, respectively, are also hypothesized”

Claim · model-written summary

Aquatic adaptations may have enabled transoceanic dispersal and contributed to disjunct distributions.

Taxon

LythraceaeLythraceaee0

Outcome

Transoceanic dispersale0

Qualifier

adaptations to aquatic environmentse0

Verbatim

e0

“Transoceanic dispersal in the family is possibly facilitated by adaptations to aquatic environments that are common to many extant genera of the Lythraceae, where long-distance dispersal and vicariance may be invoked to explain several remarkable disjunct distributions in Lythraceae clades”
