  abstract = {{W}e present a dated phylogenetic tree for the {N}eotropical genus {A}ttalea ({A}recaceae). {W}e used six orthologues from the nuclear {WRKY} gene family across 98 accessions to address relationships among species and biogeographical hypotheses. {W}e found that the formerly recognized groups within {A}ttalea are not monophyletic and therefore there is no support for multiple genera as previously thought. {S}pecies of {A}ttalea-like palms from the {A}tlantic forest form a well-supported clade sister to the {A}ttalea species from {A}mazonia, the {A}ndean valleys and {M}esoamerica. {D}ates for the main divergence events suggest a relationship with the development of the dry forests that now span eastern {S}outh {A}merica and the now-lost {P}ebas {L}ake region in the western {A}mazon. {A}ttalea crassispatha possibly colonized {H}ispaniola by a long-distance dispersal event, not via the land bridge {G}reat {A}ntilles {A}vian {R}idge ({GAAR}), before the {P}anama channel closed. {T}he common ancestor of {A}ttalea appears to have been an {A}tlantic forest clade c. 30 {M}ya. {T}he early split between the {A}tlantic-forest clade and the two {A}mazonian-northern {A}ndean clades was probably the result of climatic changes that caused an increase in aridity in {S}outh {A}merica.},
