  abstract = {{A}im {P}alms ({A}recaceae/{P}almae) are a model group for evolutionary studies in the tropics. {F}amily-wide data on taxonomy, phylogenetics and distribution are now available, but a general framework of palm evolution is still lacking. {T}he overall aim of this study, published in two companion papers, is to seek evolutionary explanations for the geographical distribution of palm lineages and species diversity patterns at global and regional levels. {I}n this first paper we undertake a detailed analysis of palm biogeography for all major lineages in a global context, comparing our results to the fossil record, molecular dating studies and previously established biogeographical hypotheses for the family. {L}ocation {G}lobal. {M}ethods {A} dated phylogeny of all palm genera and distributional data were used to infer ancestral areas. {A} global model of area evolution for tropical lineages was formulated and ancestral areas were reconstructed using a maximum likelihood approach under the dispersalextinctioncladogenesis model. {R}esults {T}he crown node divergence of palms and divergences of all five subfamilies occurred before the end of the {C}retaceous within {L}aurasian regions. {E}arly range expansions into {S}outh {A}merica took place in the stem lineages of subfamilies {A}recoideae and {C}eroxyloideae, and into {A}frica and {S}outh {A}merica in {C}retaceous lineages within subfamily {C}alamoideae. {T}he largest subfamily {A}recoideae underwent its early diversification history in {S}outh {A}merica and has been an important source of lineages expanding into other regions, notably in the major {I}ndo-{P}acific tribe {A}receae. {I}n contrast, the history of subfamily {C}oryphoideae was primarily {L}aurasian, supporting earlier boreotropical hypotheses for the group. {D}ispersals across {W}allace's {L}ine are prevalent in major groups of {A}recoideae, {C}alamoideae and {C}oryphoideae, both before and after the {M}iocene geological evolution of the {M}alesian {A}rchipelago. {M}ain conclusions {W}e present the first robust biogeographical hypothesis for the evolution of palms in space and time. {A}lthough palms show evidence of dispersal limitation, our findings highlight the role of long-distance dispersal events in the establishment of major biogeographical patterns of palm clades. {T}his is consistent with the growing evidence for long-distance dispersal as a major mechanism underpinning the distribution of tropical lineages.},
