Geographic isolation enables recurrent pollinator shifts despite hybridisation in the Cape's hyperdiverse heathers

S. D. Musker, M. D. Pirie, N. M. Nürk

The paper investigates the evolutionary dynamics of Erica abietina, finding geographic isolation and pollinator shifts drive speciation despite hybridization.

Diversification in evolutionary arenas -- assessment and synthesis

N. M. Nürk, H. P. Linder, R. E. Onstein, M. Larcombe, C. E. Hughes, L. Pineiro Fernandez, P. M. Schlüter, L. M. Valente, C. Beierkuhnlein, V. Cutts, M. J. Donoghue, E. J. Edwards, R. Field, S. G. A. Flantua, S. I. Higgins, , M. D. Pirie

This paper reviews and synthesizes concepts on evolutionary diversification, proposing a framework called the Evolutionary Arena to study diversification rates across different clades and environments.

Leaps and bounds: geographical and ecological distance constrained the colonisation of the Afrotemperate by Erica

M. D. Pirie, M. Kandziora, N. M. Nuerk, N. C. Le Maitre, A. L. Mugrabi de Kuppler, B. Gehrke, E. G. H. Oliver, D. U. Bellstedt

This paper investigates the dispersal history of Erica across the Afrotemperate, finding that colonization is limited by geographic proximity and niche similarity, with the Drakensberg Mountains acting as a sink rather than a stepping stone.

Parallel diversifications of Cremastosperma and Mosannona (Annonaceae), tropical rainforest trees tracking Neogene upheaval of the South American continent

M. D. Pirie, P. J. M. Maas, R. Wilschut, H. Melchers-Sharrott, L. Chatrou

This study examines the diversification of two Annonaceae genera in response to Neogene geological events in South America, finding parallel patterns linked to Andean uplift and land connections.
