Abstract

Evergreen forests of Western Ghats show higher phylogenetic diversity (PD) than deciduous forests indicating more recent establishment of the latter. The evergreen forests show a latitudinal gradient of high PD in south and lower in north, supporting Southern Refugia Hypothesis. Evergreen and deciduous forests exhibit shared evolutionary histories indicating high turnover within clades and shifts between evergreen and deciduous traits.
