Phylogenetic alpha and beta diversity in tropical tree assemblages along regional-scale environmental gradients in northwest South America (2014, background): “For example, recent research has reported that plant clades with particular adaptations to dry forest habitats are the result of recent evolutionary radiations, which would lead to patterns of phylogenetic clustering (Pennington et al. 2009).”
Biome Shifts and Niche Evolution in Plants (2014, methodology): “This line of research, exemplified especially by the work of Lavin et al. (2004) and Pennington et al. (2009, 2010) on seasonally dry tropical forests, should provide insights into geographic opportunities through time (Pg) and the relative importance of habitat tracking.”
Evolutionary islands in the Andes: persistence and isolation explain high endemism in Andean dry tropical forests (2012, background): “, 2004, 2010), a pattern indicative of in situ speciation under strong geographical isolation (Pennington et al., 2009).”
Reconstructing the deep-branching relationships of the papilionoid legumes (2013, neutral): “The highly resolved Ateleioid phylogeny represents a common pattern in legumes with predilection to the succulent biome (e.g., Pennington et al., 2009, 2010; de Queiroz and Lavin, 2011; Särkinen et al., 2012), which contrasts to the low resolution within the Swartzia clade and which is taken as…”
Evolutionary history of the flora of Mexico: Dry forests cradles and museums of endemism (2018, background): “Moreover, it has been pointed out that it is difficult for new lineages to immigrate to these forests because the resident lineages persisted and are adapted to a stable, seasonally dry ecology (Pennington et al., 2009).”
A Phytogeographical Metaanalysis of the Semiarid Caatinga Domain in Brazil (2016, background): “SDTFs usually have fertile soils and are home to plants lacking adaptation to survive wildfires, as well as a wealth of succulent plant taxa, such as Cactaceae (Bullock et al., 1995; Sampaio, 1995; Pennington et al., 2000, 2006; Oliveira-Filho et al., 2013).”
