• A roadmap for island biology: 50 fundamental questions after 50 years of The Theory of Island Biogeography (2017, background): “Moreover, islands were viewed as refugial holdouts of persistence for a number of ancient forms (e.g. Yoder & Nowak, 2006; Vargas, 2007; Wood et al., 2015; Shaw & Gillespie, 2016), swept away by more recently evolved competitors from former mainland bastions.”
• Origin of Mediterranean insular endemics in the Boraginales: integrative evidence from molecular dating and ancestral area reconstruction (2009, background): “Indeed, the distinction between palaeo- and neoendemism has long been plagued by subjective judgements (Bramwell, 1972b; Carlquist, 1974; Cronk, 1992; Vargas, 2007).”
• Late Neogene history of the laurel tree (Laurus L., Lauraceae) based on phylogeographical analyses of Mediterranean and Macaronesian populations (2009, unknown): “Yet molecular studies have also shown that several presumed Macaronesian relict lineages have a recent, derived origin (reviewed by Emerson, 2002; Vargas, 2007).”
• How do islands become green (2015, background): “The native forest of the Azores –laurel forest – is broadly considered to be a relic of the southern European and North African forests of the late Tertiary (Vargas, 2007; Barrón et al., 2010; Fernandez-Palacios et al., 2011).”
• A reconstruction of Palaeo‐Macaronesia, with particular reference to the long‐term biogeography of the Atlantic island laurel forests (2011, background): “Recent phylogeographic analyses of both Macaronesian cryptogams (Vanderpoorten et al., 2007; Aigoin et al., 2009) and spermatophytes (Vargas, 2007) support earlier work in highlighting that the Macaronesian flora consists of a mixture of palaeoendemics and neoendemics.”
• The Strait of Gibraltar as a melting pot for plant biodiversity (2008, background): “group ITS, trnT-L Vargas et al. (1999b)”
