Stone points are central to defining the African Middle Stone Age (MSA), yet their morphological variability has rarely been quantitatively examined at a continental scale. Longstanding distinctions between ‘specific’ industries (e.g., Aterian, Still Bay, Howiesons Poort) and mor...

Spatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity and neo- and paleo-endemism in Kenyan Asteraceae

Abstract Background Asteraceae is one of the largest plant families in Kenya and constitutes a major evolutionary lineage contributing significantly to the country’s floristic diversity. However, a spatial phylogenetic evaluation of the family remains underexplored. Here, we exam...
