The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas (2015, background): “Evolution and diversification of organisms may be predominantly driven by abiotic factors (such as climatic and tectonic events), biotic factors (e.g. inter- or intraspecific interactions like competition and predation; see e.g. Antonelli & Sanmartín, 2011), or a combination of both.”
The changing course of the Amazon River in the Neogene: center stage for Neotropical diversification (2018, background): “…contributing to the formation of the expansive Amazon catchment, is of central concern to the study of Neotropical biodiversity (Cracraft, 1985; Lundberg, 1998; Tedesco et al ., 2005; Hoorn et al ., 2010a; Albert et al ., 2011; Antonelli, Sanmartín, 2011; Dias et al ., 2014; Smith et al ., 2014).”
Neotropical Plant Evolution: Assembling the Big Picture (2013, background): “…of rapid and slower diversification are suggested by several recent meta-analyses of dated phylogenetic trees for Neotropical plants (Rull, 2008, 2011; Hoorn et al., 2010; Antonelli & Sanmartín, 2011; Särkinen et al., 2012a) and palaeontological data (Jaramillo et al., 2006; Hoorn et al., 2010).”

Phylogenetic insights into Andean plant diversification (2014, background): “According to Simpson (1975) (1983), Luebert et al. <ref type="bibr" target="#b137">(2009)</ref>, Antonelli and Sanmartín (2011b), and Hoorn et al. (2013), effects of the Andes on plant diversification and evolution can be grouped into four major categories: (1) The Andes as source of new…”
Phylogeny and biogeography in Solanaceae, Verbenaceae and Bignoniaceae: a comparison of continental and intercontinental diversification patterns (2013, background): “…diversification of which has coincided with the geological and climatological changes that South America has experienced during its long existence spanning almost 100 million years as an isolated continent (Gentry, 1982; Burnham & Graham, 1999; Antonelli et al., 2009; Antonelli & Sanmartin, 2011).”

Why mountains matter for biodiversity (2019, background): “Mountains are therefore engines of diversity for entire biotic realms (Antonelli & Sanmartín, 2011; Antonelli, Zizka, et al., 2018; Gentry, 1982; Rahbek et al., 2019).”
Temporal and spatial origin of Gesneriaceae in the New World inferred from plastid DNA sequences (2013, background): “…few studies have investigated the genesis of this pattern (Pirie et al., 2006; Antonelli et al., 2009; Givnish et al., 2011), despite its importance for identifying the biotic or abiotic factors that may have shaped the spatial distribution of diversity we see today (Antonelli & Sanmartín, 2011).”
