Precipitation is the main axis of tropical phylogenetic turnover across space and time

J. J. Ringelberg, E. J. M. Koenen, B. Sauter, A. Aebli, J. G. Rando, J. R. Iganci, L. P. de Queiroz, D. J. Murphy, M. Gaudeul, A. Bruneau, M. Luckow, G. P. Lewis, J. T. Miller, M. F. Simon, L. S. B. Jordao, , C. E. Hughes

The paper shows that precipitation gradients drive phylogenetic turnover in Mimosoid legumes across tropical regions, with 95% of speciation occurring within a precipitation niche.

Diversity and Divergence: Evolution of defense chemistry in the tropical tree genus Inga

D. L. Forrister, M.-J. Endara, A. J. Soule, G. C. Younkin, A. G. Mills, J. Lokvam, K. G. Dexter, R. T. Pennington, C. A. Kidner, J. A. Nichols, O. Loiseau, T. A. Kursar, P. D. Coley

The paper characterizes chemical diversity in Inga species and shows that closely related species have divergent defense profiles, suggesting divergent adaptation for avoiding shared natural enemies.
