Beyond the Highlands: Climate Drives Evolutionary Connections Between Ancient Neotropical Mountains and Lowland Biomes Aim The assembly of montane plant communities through time is underlain by historical and abiotic factors. However, the extent of evolutionary connectivity between ancient highland ecosystems and su... https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/geb.70214?msockid=04ba79ff1d1c639404106d0a1c8b6226
