Testing the biogeographical congruence of palaeofloras using molecular phylogenetics: snapdragons and the Madrean-Tethyan flora

Aim The biogeographical congruence hypothesis, that similar spatiotemporal patterns of geographical distribution exist across lineages, is revisited in this study, and biogeographical processes in presumed Madrean–Tethyan plants are investigated by employing phylogenetic analyses. Location Mediterranean and Californian floristic regions. Methods The snapdragons (tribe Antirrhineae, Plantaginaceae) are one of the plant groups that best illustrate...
