Original Source: LARGE-SCALE PATTERNS OF DIVERSIFICATION IN THE WIDESPREAD LEGUME GENUS SENNA AND THE EVOLUTIONARY ROLE OF EXTRAFLORAL NECTARIES.
ABSTRACT Unraveling the diversification history of old, species-rich and widespread clades is difficult because of extinction, undersampling and taxonomic uncertainty. In the context of these challenges, we investigated the timing and mode of lineage diversification in Senna (Leguminosae) to gain insights into the evolutionary role of extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). EFNs secrete nectar, attracting ants and forming ecologically important ant-plant mutualisms. In Senna, EFNs characterize one large clade ("EFN c...
