What is Gondwanan Origins of Monocot Groups about?

This article investigates the historical biogeography of major monocot groups using dispersal-vicariance analysis based on a dated phylogeny of 79 monocot families. The findings suggest that the evolution of monocots is linked to the Eocene connection and breakup of South America and Australasia, indicating a South Gondwanan origin for these groups. The study highlights that Africa and the Northern Hemisphere were likely not part of the ancestral area for core monocots and commelinids.
