• Biological and geophysical feedbacks with fire in the Earth system (2018, background): “Similarly, fire-adapted woody life forms in tropical savannas that keep most of their biomass below-ground are found in a number of unrelated plant lineages in both African and South American savannas (Maurin et al 2014, Simon and Pennington 2012).”
• A new subfamily classification of the leguminosae based on a taxonomically comprehensive phylogeny (2017, unknown): “…2007, 2009; Champagne & al., 2007; Simon & al., 2009; BouchenakKhelladi & al., 2010; Cannon & al., 2010, 2015; Pennington & al., 2010; Doyle, 2011; Simon & Pennington, 2012; Koenen & al., 2013; Oliveira-Filho & al., 2013; Moncrieff & al., 2014; Werner & al., 2014, 2015; Dugas & al., 2015; BFG,…”
• Neotropical Plant Evolution: Assembling the Big Picture (2013, background): “…of large-scale ecological adaptive barriers shaping species diversification is the apparent ease of fire adaptation, whereby many plant lineages have been recruited to the cerrado from diverse and geographically adjacent dry, wet and pampas biomes (Simon et al., 2009; Simon & Pennington, 2012).”
• Neotropical savanna ants show a reversed latitudinal gradient of species richness, with climatic drivers reflecting the forest origin of the fauna (2018, background): “Similarly, much of the woody flora from Neotropical savannas have sister groups in more ancient vegetation types such as moist and seasonally dry tropical forests (Simon & Pennington, 2012; Simon et al., 2009).”
