Abstract.—Phylogenies recurrently demonstrate that oceanic island systems have been home to rapid clade diversificationand adaptive radiations. The existence of adaptive radiations posits a central role of natural selection causing ecologicaldivergence and speciation, and some plant radiations have been highlighted as paradigmatic examples of such radiations.However, neutral processes may also drive speciation during clade radiations, with ecological divergence occurringfollowing speciation. Here, we document an exceptionally rapid and unique radiation of Lamiaceae within the NewCaledonian biodiversity hotspot. Specifically, we investigated various biological, ecological, and geographical drivers ofspecies diversification within the genus Oxera. We found that Oxera underwent an initial process of rapid cladogenesislikely triggered by a dramatic period of aridity during the early Pliocene. This early diversification of Oxera was associatedwith an important phase of ecological diversification triggered by significant shifts of pollination syndromes, dispersalmodes, and life forms. Finally, recent diversification of Oxera appears to have been further driven by the interplay ofallopatry and habitat shifts likely related to climatic oscillations. This suggests that Oxera could be regarded as an adaptiveradiation at an early evolutionary stage that has been obscured by more recent joint habitat diversification and neutralgeographical processes. Diversification within Oxera has perhaps been triggered by varied ecological and biological driversacting in a leapfrog pattern, but geographic processes may have been an equally important driver. We suspect that strictlyadaptive radiations may be rare in plants and that most events of rapid clade diversification may have involved a mixtureof geographical and ecological divergence. [Adaptive radiation, allopatry, leapfrog radiation, Lamiaceae, New Caledonia,niche shifts, Oxera.]
Oceanic islands are widely regarded as laborator-ies of evolution mainly owing to their isolated pastbiogeographical history (Losos and Ricklefs 2009). Theirgeographical isolation limits dispersal events from out-side, resulting in ecological niches being filled by speciesdiversification rather than colonization. Consequently,islands are expected to have sheltered many adaptiveradiations, where single lineages have diversified rapidlyinto several distinct niches, resulting in disproportion-ately high phenotypic diversity (Schluter 2000) whencompared with their continental relatives (Silvertownet al. 2005). This phenomenon can be particularlyapparent on large and high-elevation islands that exhibitdiverse and sharp environmental gradients (Whittakeret al. 2008). Although adaptive radiations may notnecessarily result from an acceleration of speciationrates (see Givnish 2015 for a discussion), all adaptiveradiations are spurred by ecological opportunities; thatis, the release of vacant niches due to unused resources,species extinctions or the acquisition of new traits (Losos2010). The existence of adaptive radiations thus posits acentral role of natural selection causing ecological diver-gence and speciation, and some plant radiations havebeen highlighted repeatedly as paradigmatic examplesof this scenario, such as the silversword alliance andlobeliads in Hawaii (Carlquist et al. 2003; Givnish et al.
2009), the Macaronesian Aeonium and Echium (Jorgensenand Olesen 2001), and Veronica (Hebe) in New Zealand(Wagstaff and Garnock-Jones 1998).
However, adaptive radiations sensu stricto appear tobe quite uncommon in the plant kingdom, with theaforementioned well-documented cases probably rep-resenting rare exceptions. In fact, many radiations likelyoccur, at least in part, in a non-adaptive way (Givnish1997, Rundell and Price 2009). Under such a scenario,speciation is not primarily driven by ecological diver-gence, but mainly by neutral divergence in allopatry.Ecological differentiation may occur following non-ecological speciation, through random trait divergence,adaptation to different climatic regimes or habitats, ordue to trait divergence favoring local coexistence ifsecondary sympatry occurs (e.g., Tobias et al. 2014).While molecular phylogenies will often provide littlepower to discriminate between different scenarios, itremains possible to assess the relative importance ofecological differentiation and geographic divergence inrapid species diversifications. Considering that theor-etical evidence suggests that most rapid evolutionaryradiations may have occurred through a mixture ofecological speciation and neutral divergence in allopatry(Aguilée et al. 2012, 2011), we can legitimately wonder

whether purely adaptive radiations have ever occurredin plants.
The New Caledonian biodiversity hotspot is a remotearchipelago in the southwest Pacific, composed of anold-, large-, and high-elevation main island (= GrandeTerre, ca. 37 Ma, ca. 16,600 km2, 1600 m max. elevation)exhibiting exceptional levels of species richness andendemism (ca. 3400 species, 75% endemic; Morat et al.2012; Munzinger et al. 2016). The singular geologicaland climatic New Caledonian history led to the imple-mentation of complex and abrupt environmental gradi-ents, resulting in a mosaic of highly distinct habitats.The archipelago topography is especially complex onGrande Terre, with many relatively steep valleys andhigh summits (Bonvallot 2012) presenting both physicalbarriers to dispersal and strong selection gradients. Thearchipelago also has a suite of diverse bedrock types,in particular volcano-sedimentary, metamorphic andultramafic (metal-rich soils with chemical and physicalproperties that constrain plant growth). These latterbedrock types, which act as strong environmental filtersand exhibit a patchy distribution, have probably playeda key role in plant speciation and flora evolution (Pillonet al. 2010). In addition, Pliocene and Pleistocene climaticfluctuations considerably affected the dynamic of NewCaledonian biotas, leading to the origination of newhabitats such as the unique shrubby sclerophyllousvegetation (i.e., maquis; Jaffré 1980), during periodsof forest contraction (Hope and Pask 1998; Stevenson2004; Stevenson and Hope 2005). This likely triggeredspeciation in palms (Pintaud et al. 2001), and hascontributed to the persistence of old angiosperm lin-eages in forest refugia (Pouteau et al. 2015). All theaforementioned characteristics have contributed to thetremendous plant diversity of New Caledonia (Jaffré1993), and have also driven numerous plant radiations(e.g., Psychotria; Pycnandra; Munzinger et al. 2016).Though plant radiations are increasingly highlighted inthe archipelago through molecular investigations, fewstudies have focused on the relative effect of driversimplied in their in situ diversification (e.g., Barrabé et al.2014; Pillon et al. 2014; Paun et al. 2016).
The old age, geographic isolation, and geologic andtopographic complexity of New Caledonia suggest thatadaptive radiations may be common among many gen-era endemic to New Caledonia. However, few of thesegenera exhibit the joint signatures of morphological andecological divergence expected from adaptive radiations,and rather seem to be relictual lineages (Pillon et al.2017). The woody genus Diospyros (Ebenaceae) was thefirst purported clear case of an adaptive radiation ofa plant group within New Caledonia due to its wideecological diversity (Paun et al. 2016), although theradiation was not related to obvious morphologicaland/or physiological differences. The tree genus Geissois(Cunoniaceae) was described as a cryptic adaptiveradiation, in which species exhibit notable differences inleaf element composition likely linked to the occupationof varied soils (Pillon et al. 2014), but does not fully
satisfy the criteria of an adaptive radiation as outlinedby Givnish (2015), as no physiological adaptation has yetbeen highlighted. It thus seems that New Caledonia hasharbored few, if any, adaptive radiations in a strict sense(sensu Givnish 2015 and Schluter 2000). This has beenexplained as a consequence of the relatively old age of theisland, the prevalence of woody species, the paucity ofpotential pollinator species, and/or a reduced number ofecological opportunities as compared with other islandsystems (Pillon et al. 2017).
In this work, we report on a molecular systematicinvestigation of the genus Oxera (Lamiaceae), whichhas been hypothesized to have diversified in NewCaledonia through adaptive radiation (Pillon et al.2014). The genus is composed of 33 species endemicto New Caledonia (Gâteblé unpublished data, availableat http://endemia.nc/flore/fiche588), and was recentlyenlarged to include five other Australasian and Pacificspecies (Barrabé et al. 2015). It was demonstrated thatthe entire New Caledonian clade originated from asingle colonization and constitutes the tenth largest plantradiation in the archipelago, which is puzzling giventhat Lamiaceae are an under-represented family withinthe flora of New Caledonia (Pillon et al. 2010). Distinctsubclades were partially circumscribed within Oxeraand can arguably be considered as several independentmicro-radiations within the genus (Barrabé et al. 2015).Oxera exhibits strongly divergent morphology in termsof life form, flowers and fruits, and occupies a vastdiversity of distinct habitats. In relation to this remark-able morphological diversity, we hypothesize that shiftsof functional, reproductive (pollination and dispersal),and environmental niches may have played a key roleduring the diversification of Oxera. This role can betwo-fold: 1) niche shifts may have triggered speciesdifferentiation and speciation, and 2) certain niche typesmay have accelerated the rate of genetic divergence andspeciation.
The dazzling morphological and ecological diversityof New Caledonian Oxera could reflect adaptationsto different ecological factors (see Givnish 2010 for adiscussion of life form adaptations). First, the great arrayof life forms observed in Oxera could be associated withdifferent environment preferences, as observed in thesilversword alliance (Carpenter et al. 2003), and thismay have created conditions that facilitated parapatricisolation and speciation. Robust lianas mainly growin closed rainforests with leaves usually reaching thecanopy, while slender lianas are mostly encounteredin open sclerophyllous vegetation and forest edges;monocaulous trees (i.e., single-stemmed) are mainlyconfined to rainforest understories; and finally, shrubspecies are often able to establish in both closed andmore open vegetation (Gâteblé, pers. obs.; see Fig. 1a andb). Such contrasting life forms clearly reflect functionalstrategies regarding growth under different light condi-tions (Givnish 1995; Santiago and Wright 2007; Selayaand Anten 2008).

Second, most species of Oxera are confined to narrowenvironmental conditions within New Caledonia. Theyoccur either in rainforests, dry forests or maquis, or occurat different elevations and/or on different bedrock types(limestone, ultramafic, and volcano-sedimentary rocks).Although some species of Oxera are clearly specialized
toward particular habitats or have very limited geo-graphic ranges in narrow valleys or on remote summits,others are encountered throughout the archipelago dueto wider environmental tolerances. These contrastinghabitat and geographic patterns may be hypothesizedas the signature of parapatric or allopatric speciation

processes, and provide an interesting basis for testingwhether habitat or geography (or both) have been majordrivers of clade diversification.
Third, the floral diversity of Oxera was previouslylinked to distinct flower pollinators (de Kok 1998) basedupon field observations of animal visits (Table 1).
These pollinator preferences could potentially bedrivers of evolution of reproductive isolation withinOxera. Honey-eaters (Meliphagidae) and white-eyes(Zosteropidae) have been observed visiting Oxera spe-cies displaying showy and curved flowers, profuselyproducing nectar, and bearing arched anthers typicallyextending out of the corolla (Table 1). Long-tubular whiteand/or green bilabiate flowers, sometimes releasing astrong fragrance, have been observed to be visited bybutterflies and moths (Pieridae and Sphingidae; Table 1;de Kok 1997; Haxaire and Salesne 2016). Despite the lackof recorded visitor observation, the flower attributes ofthe Australasian O. splendida, which bears large, flared,white flowers that open nocturnally and release a strongfragrance, are very similar to that of Fagraea, renownedfor its bat-pollination (Momose et al. 1998).
Fourth, the large variety of fruit morphology exhibitedby Oxera suggests different dispersal agents, althoughthese mechanisms have not been fully identified in thefield (Table 1). We assume that the different behaviorsand flight abilities of animal dispersers would haveaffected the spatial scale of gene flow, and thus produceddifferent rates of genetic divergence between Oxeralineages, due to varied dispersal abilities and habitatselection of dispersers (Givnish 2010, Theim et al. 2014).The largest white fruits encountered in Australasiaare consumed by bats and cassowaries (Richards 1990;Hutson et al. 1992; Cooper and Cooper 2004). Otherlarge colored fruits (ca. >2 cm) could be exclusivelyeaten by imperial pigeons (Ducula, Columbidae), whichis the only bird able to swallow and effectively dispersesuch large fruits (Meehan et al. 2002; Carpenter et al.2003; Cibois et al. 2017; P. Bachy pers. comm. forO. palmatinervia). It is noteworthy that the sedentarybehavior of pigeons confines them mostly to forestunderstories (Colombo 2008; Wotton and Kelly 2012).Smaller fruits (ca.

protocols described in Barrabé et al. (2015). All accessionsused in this study are listed in the SupplementaryAppendix S1a available on Dryad.
For divergence time estimation, we also used two addi-tional alignments composed of four DNA plastid regions(matK, rps16, trnL-F, and trnL-trnF; SupplementaryAppendix S2a available on Dryad) from two datasets, with taxon sampling that spanned the Lamialesand Lamiaceae. The Lamiales data set included: 1)a subset of the Oxera data set (i.e., five species;Supplementary Appendix S1c available on Dryad);and 2) 177 representatives of various lineages withinLamiales, whose sequences were downloaded fromGenBank (Supplementary Appendix S1c available onDryad). The Lamiaceae data set was thus composedof 1) the aforementioned Oxera subset and 2) 59 taxarepresenting all major Lamiaceae lineages (downloadedlikewise from GenBank; Supplementary Appendix S1bavailable on Dryad). This large-scale sampling allowedus to incorporate Lamiales and Lamiaceae fossils ascalibration points (see below).
All DNA alignment matrices used in this study areavailable on Dryad.
Phylogenetic InferenceFor the three molecular data sets, phylogenetic infer-
ences were conducted using Bayesian Markov ChainMonte Carlo (MCMC) as implemented in MrBayesv3.2.1 (Ronquist et al. 2012) based on single-locus andconcatenated data sets. Best-fit nucleotide sequence evol-ution models were identified using jModelTest (Posada2008) based on the Akaike criterion (more details onsettings are provided in Supplementary Appendix S2aavailable on Dryad). The combined data sets werepartitioned to allow each locus to possess specific modelparameters (Nylander et al. 2004). The methodologicalapproach of the Bayesian MCMC analyses followedthat described in Barrabé et al. (2015) and the detailsof parameter settings are provided in SupplementaryAppendix S2b available on Dryad. All analyses were runon the Cyber Infrastructure for Phylogenetic Researchcluster (CIPRES; http://www.phylo.org/; last accessed18 October 2017). The post-burn-in trees resulting fromthe MCMC stationary phase were used to constructa majority-rule consensus tree and calculate Bayesianposterior probabilities (PPs); clades were consideredwell-supported when PP values were ≥0.95). The threeresulting consensus trees are available in TreeBASE (ID23353) and Dryad.
In order to check for phylogenetic incongruencebetween nuclear and plastid loci, we also ran twophylogenetic reconstructions separately for all six con-catenated nuclear regions and all six concatenatedplastid regions, using the same MrBayes parametersettings and models of nucleotide evolution as above.These two analyses were only applied to the Oxera dataset. We then assessed whether there was any supported(PP ≥0.95) incongruence between two trees.
Fossil Dating and Divergence Time EstimationWe performed a two-step approach to estimate the
temporal evolution of Oxera. This allowed us to test theimpact of different dating calibrations and taxonomicsampling on divergence time estimates. In the first step,we performed a fossil calibration on the Lamiales andLamiaceae data sets using fossils described in a recentLamiaceae molecular dating study (Yao et al. 2016).We incorporated three Lamiaceae (Melissa, Ocimum,and Stachys) and three Lamiales fossils (Bignoniaceae,Acanthaceae, and Oleaceae) for dating the phylogenyinferred with the Lamiales data set, and two Lamiaceaefossils (Melissa and Ocimum) for dating the phylogenyinferred with the Lamiaceae data set (for further detailson the design and parameters of these calibrations, seeSupplementary Appendix S2c, available on Dryad andexplanations provided inYao et al. 2016). For root calib-rations we used divergence times estimated in Magallónet al. (2015): 1) the divergence between Lamiales andGentianales—Solanales for the Lamiales data set and2) the divergence between Plocospermataceae and otherLamiales for the Lamiaceae data set. In the second step,the divergence time estimate between Rotheca (sp. Wen9487) and other Lamiaceae recovered during the first step(i.e., the dating of the Lamiaceae data set) was used as asecondary root calibration point (see Results section) forthe Oxera data set.
For the three molecular data sets, molecular diver-gence times were estimated using the Bayesian MCMCapproach implemented in BEAST v.1.8.0 (Drummondand Rambaut 2007). DNA regions were combined andpartitions were set as in the above Bayesian MCMCanalyses (Supplementary Appendix S2c available onDryad). An uncorrelated relaxed molecular clock modelwas selected following a lognormal distribution, andthe Birth–Death process implemented for the tree prior.Other details on analyses, calibration and parametersettings are provided in Supplementary Appendix S2cavailable on Dryad. The post burn-in trees were summar-ized, and Bayesian PPs, median height (= age estimate),and the 95% highest posterior density heights interval ofeach node (95% HPD) assessed, using a Maximum CladeCredibility target tree (named as MCCT tree for the Oxeradata set) in Treeannotator v.1.8.0 (Drummond and Ram-baut 2007). For the Oxera data set a subset of 100 datedtrees (RD trees hereafter) were also randomly sampledfrom the stationary phase to integrate phylogeneticuncertainty in some of the following analyses (seebelow). All divergence time analyses were conductedusing CIPRES. The three resulting Maximum CladeCredibility trees are available in TreeBASE (ID 23353)and Dryad.
Comparative Analyses of Species DiversificationTo obtain an overall view of the Oxera diversification,
we first generated a lineage through time diagram,based on a pruned version of the MCCT tree includingonly Oxera species and a single sample per species

(pMCCT tree), and also on the RD trees (pruned as inthe pMCCT tree). We also calculated net diversificationrates, following the conservative approaches implemen-ted in Pillon (2012) and Barrabé et al. (2014), to allowcomparisons with other oceanic insular plant radiations,using median crown ages and their 95% HPD estimatedfrom the molecular dating, and two extreme values forrelative extinction (null and equal to 0.9). Net diversific-ation rates were likewise estimated per unit of area andlog(area).
To assess more precisely the rate and tempo of speciesdiversification in Oxera through time, we carried outdiversification analyses with maximum likelihood (ML)and Bayesian modeling approaches. The ML analyseswere conducted in the TreePar R package (Stadler 2011),using an optimization algorithm to infer past rates of spe-ciation and extinction and their temporal variation. Wefitted various diversification models: a pure birth model,a constant birth–death model, several more complexmodels allowing one to several rate shifts through time(up to 10 shifts), and finally several diversity-dependentmodels. All models were fitted on the pMCCT tree (seeSupplementary Appendix S2d, available on Dryad forfurther details on parameter settings) and on the RDtrees to account for phylogenetic uncertainty. The best-fitdiversification model was identified using the correctedAkaike criterion, and a likelihood-ratio test was used forcomparing nested pure birth, birth–death, and rate shiftmodels.
The Bayesian diversification analyses were computedusing BAMM (Rabosky et al. 2014). This allows mod-elling complex dynamics of speciation and extinctionon phylogenetic trees using a reversible jump MCMCalgorithm. We pruned the MCCT tree in the samemanner as the pMCCT tree, but retained species belong-ing to the Clerodendrum clade to assess early variationin Oxera diversification rates. The sampling fractionwas completed with an estimate of species richness,especially for the Clerodendrum clade (retrieved from theKew Checklist website: http://wcsp.science.kew.org;last accessed 18 October 2017). As we expected two rateshifts to have taken place during the evolution of Oxeraand its relatives (considering the large sizes of the generaClerodendrum and Oxera as compared with the othersmall genera), the prior on the number of diversificationshifts was set to 2. All other priors were estimated inthe BAMMtools R package (Rabosky et al. 2014), withthe default settings used for all other parameters. TheMCMC was run for 50×106 generations and sampledevery 10,000 generations. The analysis was conductedwith three independent Markov chains. The first 10%generations of each run were discarded after checking forchain convergence and adequate MCMC sampling. Theremaining generations were summarized to generate the95% credibility interval for rate shift configurations, themarginal shift probability tree (where branch lengthsare proportional to the probability that a shift occurredon a given branch), the best rate shift configurationwith the highest maximum a posteriori probability,
the phylorate plot (showing variation of mean diver-sification rates with a colored gradient) and finallythe rates-through time plots (only built for the Oxerafocal group).
Biological, Ecological, and Geographic Range Data setsTo identify and disentangle suspected drivers of
species diversification in Oxera, we built a data setby compiling data on five major life traits: 1) flowermorphology, 2) fruit morphology, 3) life forms, 4)geographical occurrences, and 5) environmental pref-erences. The flower and fruit morphology (i.e., organdimensions, colors, shapes, and textures) were com-piled from herbarium and fieldwork observations onorgan dimensions, colors, shapes, and textures. Thosetraits were coded as 13 discrete and three continuouscharacters for flower morphology, and three discreteand three continuous traits for fruits (SupplementaryAppendix S3a, d, and e available on Dryad). The lifeform data set was composed of a single discrete traitcorresponding to the four life forms usually ascribed toOxera, namely monocaulous, robust liana, slender liana,and shrub/small tree (Supplementary Appendix S3aand b available on Dryad). Note that no functionalor physiological traits related to light requirements ornutrient use strategy were available for Oxera.
The geographical distributions of New Caledonianspecies were retrieved from the databases of the herb-aria of Nouméa (NOU, VIROT), the Museum nationald’Histoire naturelle of Paris (P, SONNERAT), the Uni-versity of Zurich (Z), and additional field observations.The geographical coordinates of herbarium specimenrecords were then databased, error-corrected for dis-tribution, and finally incorporated into a GeographicalInformation System (GIS) under QGIS 2.8.1. For Aus-tralasian and Pacific species distributions were assessedfrom de Kok and Mabberley (1999b) and manually addedinto the same GIS layer.
The environmental data set was composed of threevariables that best explain plant distributions acrossNew Caledonia (Jaffré 1993; Morat 1993; SupplementaryAppendix S3a and c available on Dryad): geologicalsubstrates, vegetation types, and elevation. Species’ rocktypes were coded as occurring on ultramafic rocks,on volcano-sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, orubiquists. These geological attributes were determinedby coupling geographical occurrences with a layerof geological substrate provided by the Direction del’Industrie, des Mines et de l’Energie de la Nouvelle-Calédonie (New Caledonia). Species’ vegetation typeswere coded as occurring in wet forests, in sclerophyl-lous vegetation types (i.e., dry forests and/or maquisvegetation), and ubiquists, based on herbarium andfield observations (Gâteblé, pers. obs.). Species’ elevationranges were extracted from the GIS layer generated bya digital elevation model (resolution of 10 m) providedby the Direction des Infrastructures de la Topographieet des Transports Terrestres (New Caledonia), and

then averaged across geographical occurrences of eachspecies.
To identify ecological syndromes among Oxera spe-cies, we performed multivariate analyses on the envir-onmental, flower, and fruit data sets. As we used bothcontinuous and discrete traits, we conducted the PCAanalyses by using the Hill and Smith (1976) principalcomponent method under the ade4 R package (Chesselet al. 2004). This analysis allowed clustering speciesamong pollinator syndromes, dispersal syndromes, andhabitat preferences, which we subsequently treated asnew discrete traits according to the species clustering(i.e., the niche data sets; Supplementary Appendix S3favailable on Dryad). We posit that the ecological syn-drome of a species reflects the ecological niche it occupies(Johnson 2010, Pauw 2013). No data on species growthand architecture were available, we therefore, couldnot evaluate life forms in a similar manner; this traitwas treated as a discrete variable without any step ofordination analysis.
Comparative Analyses of Niche EvolutionTo assess the mode and tempo of evolution of each
niche during the Oxera radiation (i.e., of pollinationand dispersal syndromes or habitat preferences), wemeasured their respective amount of phylogenetic signalby estimating � and � Pagel statistics (Pagel 1999). Valuesof � and � close to 1 indicate a strong phylogeneticsignal and gradual trait evolution (i.e., according to amodel of Brownian motion), and deviation from thisexpectation provides insight into temporal patterns oftrait evolution. Values of � close to 0 depicts punctualevolution, where trait divergence occurs independentlyfrom branch lengths in the phylogeny. Values of � closeto 0 reveal a low phylogenetic signal, where most traitchange occurred late in evolutionary history and closelyrelated species thus share very little trait similarity.For the habitat, pollination, and dispersal niches � and� statistics were estimated using the “fitContinuous”and “phylosig” functions of the geiger and phytools Rpackages, respectively (Harmon et al. 2008; Revell 2012).Estimations were performed on the RD trees, and byaveraging estimated values for each of the first n axesof each PCA explaining 90% of the cumulative variance.For life form, each statistic was simply averaged throughthe RD trees using the “fitdiscrete” function (geiger) andthe single discrete trait.
To reconstruct the evolutionary history of habitatpreference, pollination, dispersal niches, and life form,we conducted ancestral state reconstruction analyses.We first assessed ancestral niche states using the “ace”function in the ape R package (Paradis et al. 2004) appliedto the pMCCT tree, and the niche and life form data sets.We fitted three ML evolution models: the “ER” (withequal state transition rates), “SYM” (symmetrical), and“ARD” (with all rates unequal) models, identifying thebest-fitting model using comparisons performed on thecorrected Akaike criterion, and likelihood ratio test. We
then estimated their respective absolute shift numberand timing by performing stochastic character mappings(Huelsenbeck et al. 2003), using the “make.simmap”function in phytools. We launched 500 simulations usingan estimated prior distribution on the root node, thebest-fit ML model recovered in the previous analysesand applied first to the pMCCT tree, and then to theRD trees to obtain most likely envelopes of past shiftnumber for habitat preference, pollination, dispersalniches and life-forms. For 11 of the 100 RD trees, weencountered intractable optimization issues when usingthe “make.simmap” function. We subsequently removedthe 11 trees from these analyses and used only 89 RDtrees. Absolute shift timings were extracted using acustom R-script from all simulations and summarized byplotting the median number of state changes in differenttime bins of a 0.5 Myr time-grid.
To investigate whether a particular niche state (pol-lination, dispersal, or habitat) or life-form would haveaffected clade diversification rates of Oxera, we con-ducted multi-state trait-based analyses that estimatedsimultaneously trait-dependent speciation, extinction,and transition rates on a phylogeny and characterdistribution (Fitzjohn et al. 2009). These were performedusing the “make.musse” function under the diversitreeR package (Fitzjohn et al. 2009), applied to the pMCCTtree, and the niche and life form data sets. We first fitted17 models from a null model (rates independent of traitstates) to a full model (all rate components dependentof trait states; Supplementary Appendix S4 available onDryad), conserving the best-fitting using the correctedAkaike criterion. We performed subsequent Bayesiananalyses through a MCMC, run for 10,000 generations,seeding them with rate estimates recovered from theprevious ML analyses as priors, and discarding thefirst 1000 generations as burn-in. PP distributions of allparameters were summarized using the diversitree R-package. We also fitted the best model and compared itto the second best model across all RD trees to check thatmodel selection was robust to phylogenetic uncertainty.
Geographical Evolution versus Habitat EvolutionTo investigate the relative roles of geographical and
environmental divergence during the diversification ofOxera, we computed age-range correlations (Fitzpatrickand Turelli 2006; Warren et al. 2008) where metricsof range overlaps, range asymmetries, and habitatdistances computed between species pairs are comparedwith their estimated time of divergence (from thephylogeny). These metrics have been recurrently usedto diagnose different speciation and post-speciationscenarios (Anacker and Strauss 2014; Grossenbacheret al. 2014).
Species geographical ranges were retrieved from thegeographical data set by creating for each species asingle convex polygon enclosing its locations using the“convex hull” tool under QGIS. For narrow endemicspecies, with one or two occurrences, we applied a

buffer of 0.5 km around each location, and used arange of 3.141592 × 0.52 km2 for the former, and of6.283184 × 0.52 km2 for the latter. From these distributiondata, range overlaps, range asymmetries, and habitatdistances metrics were computed between all possiblepairs of species. Range overlap was defined as the areaoccupied by two species divided by the area of themore narrowly ranging species, ranging from 0 (noco-occurrence) to 1 (complete co-occurrence). Rangeasymmetry was calculated as the area of the wider-ranging species divided by that of the smaller (rangingfrom 1 to infinity). The habitat similarity between twospecies was assessed by calculating their Euclidiandistance (habitat distance) based on the eigenvectorvalues of the first n axes explaining 90% of the cumulatevariance retrieved from the environmental PCA (seeabove). These geographical variables (areas of all Oxeraspecies, range asymmetries and range overlaps of allOxera species pairs) are available on Dryad.
Age-range correlation analyses were performed usingan extended version of the “age.range.correlation” func-tion of the phyloclim R package (Heibl and Calenge2013; https://github.com/danlwarren/arc-extensions/blob/master/age.range.correlation.2.R; last accessed 18October 2017), applied to our pMCCT and the RDtrees. We launched 1000 iterations for the Monte Carloresampling procedure to create the null hypothesis ofno relationship between phylogenetic relatedness andrange overlap, range asymmetry, or habitat distance, andtested it. We calculated linear regressions, whose slopesand intercepts indicate speciation mode (allopatric vs.sympatric) or habitat evolution (conservatism vs. diver-gence) through time. For each metric a “super-p-value”was calculated, corresponding to the tree proportionacross the RD trees for which the linear regression wassignificant. We also assessed the frequency of rangeoverlaps across all random species pairs and across allsister species pairs using a kernel density plot.
Finally, we estimated the respective importance of geo-graphical versus habitat divergence and whether localco-existence is possible between closely related Oxeraspecies. To do so, we superimposed species geographicaloverlaps to their habitat preferences (summarized intodiagrams combining information on their geological,elevation, and vegetation attributes) within each Oxerasubclade (as delimited in Barrabé et al. 2015) to determinewhether closely related species could possibly occur insympatry.
RESULTS
Phylogenetic InferenceThe Bayesian MCMC analyses of the three species
sampling (Lamiales, Lamiaceae, and Oxera data sets)recovered the same following robust phylogenetic rela-tionships (Supplementary Appendices S5–S7 availableon Dryad). The sister genera Hosea and Oxera formed awell-supported clade that was sister to the Clerodendrum
clade (PP =1). Analyses based on the Oxera data setprovided more resolution and detail on the internalOxera relationships, which are congruent with the onesestablished in Barrabé et al. (2015) (SupplementaryAppendix S5 available on Dryad). The Australasian O.splendida was placed as sister to the New Caledonianradiation (PP =0.72), which included all New Cale-donian and nested Pacific subclades. We retrievedseven well-supported New Caledonian subclades (PP=1; Fig. 2a), namely the oblongifolia, neriifolia, pulchella,baladica, subverticillata, robusta, and sulfurea subclades.
A few supported incongruences (PP ≥0.95) wereobserved between the phylogenetic trees reconstructedseparately from the six nuclear loci and from the sixplastid loci (Supplementary Appendix S8 available onDryad), but these incongruencies were all located nearthe tips (i.e., between close species). This discordancedid not affect the robustness of the seven New Cale-donian subclades previously recovered. These minorincongruences underscore the importance of accountingfor phylogenetic uncertainty by using the 100 RD treesin most of our evolution and geographical analyses (seeMaterial and Methods section).
Molecular DatingThe three molecular BEAST dating analyses provided
congruent divergence times for Oxera and relatives(Fig. 2a, Supplementary Appendices S9–S11 availableon Dryad), which can thus be considered as a reliableappraisal of colonization dates and tempo of speciesdiversification. Oxera likely emerged during the lateMiocene, and the New Caledonian radiation sensu strictois estimated to have initiated during the early Pliocene.The median divergence time estimates for the stem nodeof Oxera were 11.46 Ma (95% HPD = 5.65–19.68), 11.2Ma (95% HPD = 5.61–19.06), and 12.02 Ma (95% HPD =6.21–19.16), as recovered with the Lamiales, Lamiaceae,and Oxera data sets, respectively (Fig. 2a, SupplementaryAppendices S9–S11 available on Dryad). For the crownnode, age estimates were 6.34 Ma (95% HPD = 2.89–11.48), 6.28 Ma (95% HPD = 3.07–10.73), and 5.39 Ma(95% HPD = 2.97–8.42), respectively. The Oxera data setprovided an estimate of 4.54 Ma (95% HPD = 2.7–6.92)for the crown node of the New Caledonian radiation(Fig. 2a).
Oxera DiversificationThe lineage through time plot highlighted a gradual
and exponential increase of the number of Oxera lineagesthrough time (Fig. 2a). The net conservative diversifica-tion rates are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. For the NewCaledonian radiation, these rates were 0.2 species/Myrfor an extinction of 0.9 and 1.04 species/Myr for anull extinction. With respect to per-unit-area and per-unit-log(area) they were estimated between 1.1×10−5and 5.6×10−5 species/Myr/km2, and between 0.02 and

2019 BARRABÉ ET AL.—THE RADIATION OF NEW CALEDONIAN OXERA 473
rate shift configurations (with a cumulative PP of0.378; Supplementary Appendix S13 available on Dryad)showed significant rate shifts mainly located on the twoconsecutive branches leading to the New CaledonianOxera radiation, and those leading to most of the Clero-dendrum clade (Supplementary Appendix S13 availableon Dryad). Both shifts were depicted in the marginalshift probability tree, where these latter branches weresignificantly longer than most others, indicating a highprobability that these shifts occurred on their respectivebranches (Supplementary Appendix S12b available onDryad). The Oxera rates through time plots highlightedthat speciation rates remained constant (with a meanvalue of ca. 0.71 species/Myr). Extinction rates decreasedslightly at the radiation onset but remained constant after(mean value of ca. 0.31 species/Myr). The resulting netdiversification rates increased early in the radiation onsetand later remained quite constant (mean value of ca.0.4 species/Myr; Fig. 2b, Supplementary Appendix S12cavailable on Dryad). The ML diversification analysesselected the pure birth model as best-fitting our data forthe genus Oxera, with a net diversification rate of 0.575species/Myr (Supplementary Appendix S14 available onDryad). Accordingly, the pure birth model was the bestselected model on 93% of the RD trees.
Niche OrdinationThe multivariate analyses allowed the separation of
four, three, and five clearly distinct ecological syndromesfrom the species’ environmental, flower, and fruit datasets, respectively (Fig. 1c). The first four, nine, andsix axes of the PCA analyses (explaining 90 % of thecumulate variance), respectively, were retained for sub-sequent comparative analyses. The three major habitatsoccupied by Oxera were forests on non-ultramafic rocks,forests on ultramafic rocks, sclerophyllous vegetation,and a fourth class was defined for ubiquist species.The three pollination syndromes characterized specieswith actinomorphic, gullet, and bilabiate floral morphseach adapted to bat, bird, moth/butterfly pollination,respectively. For dispersal syndromes the PCA axismarkedly separated species with small fruits ≤2 cm (onthe left) from those with large fruits >2 cm (on the right;Fig. 1c). The five dispersal syndromes discriminatedspecies with potato-like (consumed by cassowaries andbats), paddle-like (by Columbidae), small rounded (byColumbidae and/or small birds such as Sturnidae), largerounded (by Columbidae), and thorny fruit morphs(presumably by large geckos).
Niche EvolutionOur estimates of both Pagel statistics showed dis-
tinct evolutionary patterns (Fig. 2c; SupplementaryAppendix S15 available on Dryad). We found lowvalues of �, indicating low phylogenetic signal (i.e., arecent accelerated evolution), for the habitat preference(Fig. 2c), and high phylogenetic signal for the dispersal
niche and life form, suggesting that these niche charac-teristics have diversified early. For the pollination niche,estimates of � were more spread out, with a lower 5%quantile of 0.2, a higher 95% quantile of 1.01, and amedian value of 0.99; this also indicated a relatively highphylogenetic signal (Fig. 2c). Estimates of the � statisticwere close to 0 for the habitat preference (indicating apunctual evolution), and close to 1 for the dispersal nicheand life form, respectively (indicating more gradualevolution). For the pollination niche, � scaled between0.35 (5% quantile) and 0.99 (95% quantile), with a medianvalue of 0.69.
The best-fit evolutionary model identified in ourancestral state reconstruction analyses was the “ER”model for each niche/trait data set (SupplementaryAppendix S16 available on Dryad). The reconstructedancestral habitat preference of Oxera was ambiguous:forests on both ultramafic and non-ultramafic rockswere together reconstructed with a high likelihood(forested vegetation was recovered as ancestral forthis node with cumulated likelihoods of both foresttypes of ca. 0.57). However, the ancestral pollination,dispersal, and life form were inferred with much lessambiguity; the Oxera ancestor was very likely a robustliana with gullet flowers producing small rounded fruits(Supplementary Appendix S17 available on Dryad).Analyses of stochastic character mapping allowed us toestimate that very few pollination, dispersal, and lifeform shifts occurred during the evolution of Oxera (upto two shifts per time bin of 0.5 Myr; Fig. 2b), andthat most of these trait shifts occurred between 2 Maand 0.5 Ma for pollination, and following 3 Ma and3.5 Ma for dispersal and life form, respectively. Habitatshifts occurred between 9 Ma and present, but from 4Ma onward their number increased markedly, finallyreaching 17 shifts between 0.5 Ma and the present.
The best-fitting model of trait-dependent speciesdiversification identified for habitats had speciationand transition rates all equal, a null extinction rate(Supplementary Appendix S4 available on Dryad),and no discernible effect of any habitat type. For thepollination syndromes, dispersal types and life forms,the best-fitting model was that with a null extinction,transition rates all equal, and a particular characterstate in which speciation rates were significantly dif-ferent from other states (Supplementary Appendix S4available on Dryad). These results were very robustto phylogenetic uncertainty, as 100% of the RD treesconsistently yielded the same best models.

FIGURE 4. Species coexistence within Oxera, indicated by subclade, with stars indicating likely coexistence; mapped on the BEAST maximumcredibility clade chronogram from the Oxera data set. a) Geographical overlap between all species of each subclade. b) Ecological ranges ofall species indicated per subclade, plotted according to their altitudinal ranges and their habitat preferences (UM = ultramafic soils, NUM =non-ultramafic soils). Species names are indicated with the following abbreviations, listed according to subclade: robusta subclade (cori = O.coriacea, coro = O. coronata, lon = O. longifolia, pal = O. palmatinervia, rob = O. robusta), subverticillata subclade (aur = O. aureocalyx sp. nov. ined.,mer = O. merytifolia, sub = O. subverticillata, tiw = O. tiwaeana sp. nov. ined.), sulfurea subclade (gme = O. gmelinoides, mic = O. microcalyx, oua =O. ouameniensis sp. nov. ined., pan = O. pancheri, rug = O. rugosa, sul = O. sulfurea), baladica subclade (bal = O. baladica, anu = O. aff. nuda, dou =O. doubetiae sp. nov. ined., gar = O. garoensis sp. nov. ined., oun = O. ounemoae sp. nov. ined., pap = O. papineaui sp. nov. ined., ses = O. sessilifolia,van = O. vanuatuensis), neriifolia subclade (neri = O. neriifolia, ova = O. ovata, sor = O. sororia), pulchella subclade (bal = O. balansae, balV = O.aff.balansae, bre = O. brevicalyx, pul = O. pulchella), and oblongifolia subclade (cra = O. crassifolia, gla = O. glandulosa, obl = O. oblongifolia, ore = O.oreophila).
vegetation), especially since the Miocene (Donoghue andEdwards 2014). It is important to note that some ofthese novel habitats exhibit a patchy spatial distribution,which has likely increased genetic divergence. Thisostensibly has generated vacant niches, created ecolo-gical opportunities, increased spatial divergence and
thus triggered speciation in many Australasian lineages,as highlighted in Australia for Banksia, Eucalyptus, andAllocasuarina (Crisp et al. 2004; Gallagher et al. 2003). Theearly rapid diversification of Oxera suggests that similarclimatic and physical events fostered diversificationwithin Oxera shortly after its arrival into New Caledonia.
