title: Data from: A jungle tale: molecular phylogeny and divergence time estimates of the Desmopsis - Stenanona clade (Annonaceae) in Mesoamerica

description: The predominantly Asian tribe Miliuseae (Annonaceae) includes over 37
 Neotropical species that are mainly distributed across Mesoamerica, from
 southern Mexico to northern Colombia. The tremendous ecological and
 morphological diversity of this clade, including ramiflory, cauliflory,
 flagelliflory, and clonality, suggests adaptive radiation. Despite the
 spectacular phenotypic divergence of this clade, little is known about its
 phylogenetic and evolutionary history. In this study we used a nuclear DNA
 marker and seven chloroplast markers, and maximum parsimony, maximum
 likelihood and Bayesian inference methods to reconstruct a comprehensive
 time-calibrated phylogeny of tribe Miliuseae, especially focusing on the
 Desmopsis-Stenanona clade. We also perform ancestral area reconstructions
 to infer the biogeographic history of this group. Finally, we use
 ecological niche modeling, lineage distribution models, and niche overlap
 tests to assess whether geographic isolation and ecological specialization
 influenced the diversification of lineages within this clade. We
 reconstructed a monophyletic Miliuseae that is divided into two strongly
 supported clades: (i) a Sapranthus-Tridimeris clade and (ii) a
 Desmopsis-Stenanona clade. The colonization of the Neotropics and
 subsequent diversification of Neotropical Miliuseae seems to have been
 associated with the expansion of the boreotropical forests during the late
 Eocene and their subsequent fragmentation and southern displacement.
 Further speciation within Neotropical Miliuseae out of the Maya block
 seems to have occurred during the last 15 million years. Lastly, the
 geographic structuring of major lineages of the Desmopsis-Stenanona clade
 seems to have followed a climatic gradient, supporting the hypothesis that
 morphological differentiation between closely related species resulted
 from both long-term isolation between geographic ranges and adaptation to
 environmental conditions.
