Endemism in the Australian flora
Endemism can be distinguished from species richness by using an appropriate index and mapping of such indices can detect centres of endemism, demonstrating the value of specimen based distributional data held in state herbaria and museums.
Radiation of the Australian flora: what can comparisons of molecular phylogenies across multiple taxa tell us about the evolution of diversity in present-day communities?

The Australian fossil record indicates depletion of the Australian aseasonal-wet biome from the Mid-Cenozoic, and there is need for rigorous molecular phylogenetic studies so that additional questions can be addressed, such as how interactions between biomes may have driven the speciation process during radiations.
Biogeography of the Australian monsoon tropics

The Australian monsoon is a component of a single global climate system, characterized by a dominant equator-spanning Hadley cell, and future palaeoecological and phylogenetic investigations will illuminate the evolution of the AMT biome.

A new, broadly applicable measure of the spatial restriction of phylogenetic diversity, termed phylogenetic endemism (PE), which builds on previous phylogenetic analyses ofendemism, but provides a more general solution for mapping endemist of lineages.
Decline of a biome: evolution, contraction, fragmentation, extinction and invasion of the Australian mesic zone biota
The aims are to review and refine key hypotheses derived from palaeoclimatic data and the fossil record that are critical to understanding the evolution of the Australian mesic biota and examine predictions arising from these hypotheses using available molecular phylogenetic and phylogeographical data.
Phylogenetic biome conservatism on a global scale
It is shown that biome stasis at speciation has outweighed biome shifts by more than 25:1, by inferring ancestral biomes for an ecologically diverse sample of more than 11,000 plant species from around the Southern Hemisphere.

A new subfamily classification of the leguminosae based on a taxonomically comprehensive phylogeny

- 1 February 2017
The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies and reflects the phylogenetic structure that is consistently resolved.

Evolution of exceptional species richness among lineages of fleshy-fruited Myrtaceae.

Fleshy fruits have evolved independently in Syzygieae and Myrteae, and this is accompanied by exceptional diversification rate shifts in both instances, suggesting that the evolution of fleshy fruits is a key innovation for rainforest Myrtaceae.
