Niche evolution and historical biogeography of lady slipper orchids in North America and Eurasia Meise Botanic Garden KU Leuven
Aim
Dispersal and subsequent adaptation to local environmental and climatic conditions play major roles in the evolution and current-day distribution of plants and animals, but their relative importance is not always easy to disentangle. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the terrestrial orchid genus Cypripedium to better understand the role of niche evolution and historical dispersal events in ...
