Temporal migration dynamics of selected Neotropical plant lineages represented in the Chocó and their diversification patterns. (A) Mean ages and their corresponding 95% High Density Probabilities (HDP) of Most Recent Common Ancestors (MRCA) of plant species/clades distributed in the Chocó. Ages estimates are colour coded by family and were obtained from published phylogenies of Cymbidieae and Pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae: Pérez-Escobar et al., 2017a), Amphilophium (Bignoniaceae: Thode et al., 2019), Philodendron (Araceae: Canal et al., 2019), Cremastosperma and Mosannona (Annonaceae: Pirie et al., 2018). Boxplots representing mean values and quartiles were computed whenever four or more observations per plant family were available. [Inset: The proportion of species sampled vs the total known of species diversity in each surveyed phylogeny is provided with a picture of the corresponding plant family (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallis pierryi; Bignoniaceae: Anemopaegma orbiculatum; Araceae: Philodendron sp.; Annonaceae: Cremastosperma sp.)]. The green bar represents the approximate age of the terrestrial ecosystem onset in the Chocó. (B) A schematic phylogeny representing the two most prominent diversification patterns of Chocoan lineages, all of which appear to have occurred during the last ∼8 Ma: 1) migration from adjacent or distant biogeographical areas into the Chocó followed by in-situ diversification (blue arrows); 2) migration into the Chocó without subsequent diversification.
