Not an ancient relic: the endemic Livistona palms of arid central Australia could have been introduced by humans

  • T. KondoM. Crisp Y. Isagi

    Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

The results rule out the ancient relic hypothesis for the origin of L. mariae, which suggested that the disjunction between the northern populations could have originated by intermittent colonization along an ancient river that has been drowned repeatedly by marine transgression.

Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics

It is concluded that palm systematic knowledge is far from complete and that tools, such as GP2, only stimulate further scientific research and discovery, so many aspects of the palm Tree of Life still remain scarcely known.

Development of microsatellite markers for the northern Australian endemic fan palm Livistona rigida (Arecaceae), with cross-amplification in the five related species

The microsatellite markers described here will be useful for investigating the speciation and range formation processes of the recent radiation of the Livistona genus in Australia, and the results obtained from them will provide crucial information for conservation of Australian Livismona species.

The palm family (Arecaceae): a microcosm of sexual system evolution

The amazing diversity of sexual expression in palms is highlighted with a view to proposing scenarios to explain the evolution of this character, drawing on the numerous advances that have been made over the last 20 years in palm systematics, ecology, developmental biology, phylogenetics and genomics.

Studies in the genus Livistona (Coryphoideae: Arecaceae)

The distribution of species in otherwise floristically unrelated regions suggests that the genus is 'ancient', and that initial radiation may have occurred prior to tectonic events that isolated the landmasses on which ancestral species occurred.
