  abstract = {{B}ackground and {A}im {P}lant disjunctions have fascinated biogeographers and ecologists for a long time. {W}e use tribe {B}ocageeae ({A}nnonaceae), a predominantly {N}eotropical plant group distributed across several present-day {N}eotropical biomes and with an {A}frican-{A}merican disjunction, to investigate long-distance dispersal mediated by frugivorous animals at both intercontinental and intracontinental scales.{M}ethods {W}e reconstructed a species-level phylogeny of tribe {B}ocageeae with a dataset composed of 116 nuclear markers. {W}e sampled 70 % of {B}ocageeae species, covering their geographical range and representing all eight genera. {W}e estimated divergence times using {BEAST}, inferred ancestral range distributions and reconstructed ancestral states for fruit traits related to long-distance dispersal in a {B}ayesian framework.{K}ey {R}esults {T}he ancestral {B}ocageeae date to the {E}arly {E}ocene and were inferred to occur in {A}frica and proto-{A}mazonia. {T}heir ancestral fruits were large and dehiscent. {T}he first lineage split gave rise to an exclusively {N}eotropical clade during the {M}iddle {E}ocene, in proto-{A}mazonia. {R}ange exchange between the {A}mazon and the {A}tlantic {F}orest occurred at least once during the {M}iocene, and from {A}mazonia to {C}entral {A}merica and {M}exico during the {E}arly {M}iocene. {T}ransitions in different sets of fruit morphologies were inferred to be related to dispersal events across {S}outh {A}merican regions/biomes.{C}onclusions {I}n {B}ocageeae, mammals might have been responsible for long-distance dispersal through the {B}oreotropics. {I}n the {N}eotropics, proto-{A}mazonia is proposed to be the source for dispersal to other tropical {A}merican biomes. {L}ong-distance dispersal might have happened via a wide range of dispersal guilds, depending on frugivore radiations, diversity and abundance in particular time periods and places. {H}ence, inter- and intracontinental dispersal might not rely on a single dispersal syndrome or guild, but more on the availability of frugivorous lineages for seed dispersal.},
