Phylogenetic endemism in terrestrial mammals (2015, background): “2a) is consistent with documented recent radiations in various taxa (Hughes & Eastwood, 2006; Hoorn et al., 2010; Weir & Price, 2011; Ribas et al., 2012) into new environments created by the uplift of the Andes over the past 5–10 Myr and associated changes in climate, drainage and soils (Hoorn et…”
Cryptic species in Iphisa elegans Gray, 1851 (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) revealed by hemipenial morphology and molecular data (2012, background): “…vertebrates apparently similar in body form and external characters have surprising widespread distributions if we consider the extent of their range, their putative low vagility, and the highly complex climatic and geological history of the region (Antonelli et al., 2010; Hoorn et al., 2010).”
The historical connections between the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest revisited (2017, background): “The Andean uplift is considered an important driver of AmF bio- diversity (Hoorn et al., 2010), by generating species turnover (Hoorn et al., 2010), changing the South America regional climate (Gan et al., 2004; Zhou & Lau, 1998), generating a wider climatic gradient, and allowing the evolution of…”
Mountains, climate and niche heterogeneity explain global patterns of fern diversity (2021, background): “These sites correspond closely to mountain systems that have undergone recent and rapid orogeny and include some of the steepest elevational and climatic gradients on Earth (Clark et al., 2005; Hoorn et al., 2010).”
Explosive Pleistocene range expansion leads to widespread Amazonian sympatry between robust and gracile capuchin monkeys (2012, background): “4a,b) suggest that the initial vicariance may have been caused by the establishment of the Rio Amazonas at c. 7 Ma (Hoorn et al., 2010); ancestral Cebus populations may have been restricted to the Guiana Shield, whereas the ancestral Sapajus populations may have been restricted to the Brazilian…”
Phylogeography of Quercus aquifolioides provides novel insights into the Neogene history of a major global hotspot of plant diversity in south‐west China (2017, background): “Radiative speciation processes have received much attention as putative keys to a better understanding of the emergence of diversity hotspots (e.g. Hoorn et al., 2010; Favre et al., 2015).”
Production of leaf wax n-alkanes across a tropical forest elevation transect (2016, background): “They therefore have the potential to inform on the long term evolution of the Amazon rainforest (Hoorn et al., 2010), in suitable sedimentary archives.”
Leaf, stem and root tissue strategies across 758 Neotropical tree species (2012, background): “Amazonian diversification has largely been dri- ven by the environmental heterogeneity resulting from its complex geological history (Hoorn et al. 2010).”
The productivity, metabolism and carbon cycle of tropical forest vegetation (2012, neutral): “There is evidence that tropical forests were abundant in the Palaeocene–Eocene ThermalMaximum, 55 million years ago (Jaramillo et al. 2010), when temperatures were about 5 C higher than present, and in the Miocene Climate Optimum (Hoorn et al. 2010).”
Historical biogeography and life‐history evolution of Andean Puya (Bromeliaceae) (2013, background): “…are currently nascent for AFLP datasets; Kropf et al., 2009) and enable the incorporation of Puya into meta-analyses of the biota of the Andes (Hoorn et al., 2010; Antonelli & Sanmartín, 2011; Rull, 2011; Särkinen et al., 2011; Sklenář et al., 2011), further enhancing our understanding of…”
