匿名审稿专家认为,该文是据知首次使用性状依赖散布模型来检测多倍体与长距离扩散的研究 (This manuscript is to my knowledge the first to use a trait-dependent dispersal model to test for a relationship between polyploidy and long-distance dispersal),并对文中所使用的整合多倍体物种形成和生物地理分析的方法表示赞赏,认为这并非是大多数相关研究所能做到的(Being able to distinguish between instances of autopolyploidy, allopolyploidy, and diploid hybridisation (as well as plastid capture) is not something that most biogeographical/macroecological studies of polyploidy are able to do)。
