Abstract

The historical biogeography of Talipariti and allied species within the Hibiscus section Azanzae provides a unique system to test dispersal and diversification drivers across Malesia since the Miocene. From this framework, we aim to test whether species distributions were shaped primarily by stochastic long-distance dispersal (LDD) or by stepping-stone dispersal associated with tectonic collisions, by comparing two lineages with contrasting geographic ranges and dispersal abilities: a pantropical sea hibiscus group and an endemic Papuan group.
