Which frugivory‐related traits facilitated historical long‐distance dispersal in the custard apple family (Annonaceae)?

Abstract: Aim Long‐distance dispersal has contributed to the disjunct biogeographical distribution of rain forest plants—something that has fascinated biogeographers since Humboldt's time. However, the dispersal agent for these tropical plant lineages remains puzzling. Here, we investigate which frugivory‐related traits may have facilitated past intercontinental long‐distance dispersal in the custard apple family (Annonaceae), a major vertebrate‐dispersed tropical plant family. We hypothesize that long‐distance dispersa… Show more

“…biomes in different regions also have had dramatically different paleoenvironmental histories, associated with distinct geological and climatic dynamics (2,9,14,25), which may have driven variation in speciation, extinction, and dispersal rates between regions owing to dynamic patterns of fragmentation, connectivity, and habitat heterogeneity (25,26). For example, previous paleoenvironmental reconstructions indicate that while moist forests in the Neotropics and Indomalaya have remained relatively constant in size since the Eocene, moist forests in the Afrotropics suffered a drastic reduction in area from the Miocene onward (14,20), which is believed to have driven widespread extinction from range contractions (25,27).…”

“…While most recent studies are phylogenetically informed in the sense that they statistically corrected for the non‐independence of species (Hodgkison et al, 2013; Lomascolo et al, 2010; Lomáscolo & Schaefer, 2010; Nevo, Razafimandimby, et al, 2018; Nevo et al, 2019; Nevo & Valenta, 2018; Nevo, Valenta, et al, 2018; Valenta et al, 2016), reconstructions of the evolution of fruit traits, especially in the context of interaction with animals, are still rare. A handful of recent studies have examined the relationships between fruit traits such as size and colour to plant migration and diversification (Lu et al, 2019; Onstein et al, 2017, 2018, 2019). These approaches can be particularly useful in identifying the conditions in which fruit traits evolved, and to what extent they evolved in concert, bringing about extant combinations of traits.…”

“…This mutualism relies on the intricate dependence of plants on frugivores to disperse their seeds, while frugivores are rewarded with important nutrients from the fruits they feed on [2]. Both fruits and frugivores have evolved adaptive traits to facilitate their interactions [2,3], and these traits may also influence co-diversification [4,5] and longdistance seed dispersal [6]. Frugivores and fruit plants are, therefore, able to shape each other's traits and the composition and structure of ecological communities [7].…”
