However, few studies have investigated how these geological events may have influenced diversification. We present a multilocus phylogeny of 102 Protieae taxa (73% of published species), sampled pantropically, to test hypotheses about the relative importance of dispersal, vicariance, habitat specialization and biotic factors in the diversification of this ecologically dominant tribe of Neotropical trees. Bayesian fossil-calibrated analyses date the Protieae stem at 55 mya. Biogeographic analyses reconstruct an initial late Oligocene / early Miocene radiation in Amazonia for Neotropical Protieae, with several subsequent late Miocene dispersal events to Central America, the Caribbean, Brazil?s Atlantic Forest and the Choc?. Regional phylogenetic structure results indicate frequent dispersal among regions throughout the Miocene and many instances of more recent regional in-situ speciation. Habitat specialization to white-sand or flooded soils was common, especially in Amazonia. There was one significant increase in diversification rate coincident with colonization of the Neotropics followed by a gradual decrease consistent with models of diversity-dependent cladogenesis. Dispersal, biotic interactions and habitat specialization are thus hypothesized to be the most important processes underlying the diversification of the Protieae.} }
