4️⃣ In brief: 🔥 Radiators generate and distribute diversity. 🐣 Incubators produce diversity in isolation. 🔗 Corridors connect neighboring regions. 🗂️ Accumulators acquire diversity generated elsewhere.

3️⃣ 🏝️The islands Java, Maluku & Sumatra act as Corridors, 🔗connecting species across the region. Meanwhile, 🦘 Australia, 🇮🇳 India and 🇵🇭 the Philippines are Accumulators, collecting diversity from elsewhere! 🌿 #IslandBiogeography

2️⃣ 🔥 The 🏝️ island Borneo is a Radiator—it generates diversity and spreads it around! 🌿 Meanwhile, 🌏 Southeast Asia and the 🏝️ islands New Guinea & Sulawesi are 🥚Incubators, evolving new species in isolation. #TropicalBiology

5️⃣ Why does this matter? 🤔 The unique island geography of the Asian tropics 🌏 helps drive its incredible biodiversity. Understanding these patterns is key to conservation and understanding the origins of life on Earth! 🧬🌱 #Ecology #Conservation

1️⃣ 🌍 Fresh out in #Science! The Asian tropics are among the most biodiverse places on Earth, but where does all that diversity come from? 🤔🔍 We used 🌴 phylogenomics and 🦴 new fossils to unravel the roles of different regions in generating and distributing species! #Evolution

LAE Herbarium is packed with gems! Day 1 of some Primulaceae/Myrsinaceae taxonomy (traditional fam used here). How it slowly started, progressed (piles of unnamed specimens) and how it ended (piles with names or to be named). Till tomorrow… #taxonomy #NewGuinea
