Análisis panbiogeográfico del género Galianthe subgénero Ebelia (Rubiaceae)

Abstract Galianthe (Rubiaceae: Spermacoceae) is a genus composed by the subgenus Galianthe and Ebelia, the latter includes 11 Neotropical species with a center of diversity located in Brazil. The panbiogeographic analysis emphasizes the importance of the spatial dimension of biodiversity to generate a better understanding of both, evolutionary patterns and processes. Panbiogeography focuses on vicariant events as the greatest force for the fragmentation of biota. There are few studies leading with the biogeography of Galianthe, so the aim of this study is to establish the distribution patterns...
