Phylogenetic and molecular dating analyses of the tropical tree family Dipterocarpaceae based on chloroplast matK nucleotide sequence data

The theories that explain the origin and evolution of the pantropical tree family Dipterocarpaceae have long been controversial, with two alternative hypotheses of Gondwanic origin and vicariance or Eurasian origin and dispersal. To test these two hypotheses, I have inferred the divergence dates of...
