  abstract = {{E}ven though {A}frican rain forests display high levels of local species diversity and endemism, their lower continental species diversity when compared with the {N}eotropics and {A}sia is paradoxical. {T}his disparity is mainly thought to be linked to either important extinction events during the {P}leistocene or at the {E}ocene-{O}ligocene boundary. {A}frican rattans or climbing palms are one of the most diverse clades of palms in {A}frica, representing one-third of all known species. {H}ere, we reconstruct the phylogeny and temporal evolution of {A}frican rattans ({A}recaceae: {C}alamoideae: {L}epidocaryeae: {A}ncistrophyllinae) to test the two main hypotheses of palm evolution in {A}frica. {W}e constructed a near-complete, dated species-level phylogenetic tree for subtribe {A}ncistrophyllinae using plastid and nuclear markers. {T}he generic relationships between {A}ncistrophyllinae were fully resolved and species-level relationships are well to weakly supported. {A}ncistrophyllinae diversified during the {E}ocene with most species originating during the late {M}iocene after 10 {M}ya. {T}his result is in agreement with several other studies suggesting a pre-{P}leistocene origin of the extant {A}frican flora. {A}ncistrophyllinae display an anti-sigmoidal lineage-through-time plot with a moderate overall extinction fraction. {O}ur simulations suggest important roles for an ancient extinction event at the {O}ligocene-{E}ocene boundary. {I}n contrast, the hypothesis of an important extinction event in palms during the late {P}liocene at 3 {M}ya is not supported. {W}e suggest that the evolutionary history of {A}frican rattans has undergone a constant diversification rate punctuated by one or several important extinction events during the first part of the {C}enozoic with most species diversity accumulating during the late {M}iocene and {P}liocene.},
