Historical biogeography and life‐history evolution of Andean Puya (Bromeliaceae) (2013, background): “…species radiations (Smith & Sytsma, 1994; Cardillo, 1999; Berry et al., 2004; Bell & Donoghue, 2005; Kay et al., 2005; Fjeldsa & Rahbek, 2006; Hughes & Eastwood, 2006; Drummond, 2008; Scherson, Vidal & Sanderson, 2008; Jabaily & Sytsma, 2010; Chaves, Weir & Smith, 2011; Givnish et al., 2011;…”
The flickering connectivity system of the north Andean páramos (2019, positive): “In the páramos, examples originate from studies on birds (Quintero & Jetz, 2018; Cadena et al., 2016) and plants, such as Neobartsia (Uribe-Convers & Tank, 2015), Lupinus (Hughes & Eastwood, 2006; Nevado, Contreras-Ortiz, Hughes, & Filatov, 2018; Contreras-Ortiz, Atchison, Hughes, & Madriňán, 2018),”
Ecological opportunity and the origin of adaptive radiations (2010, background): “…disperse to new environments, such as habitats exposed by glacial retreat (e.g. Ólafsdóttir et al., 2007), newly emerged islands (e.g. Gillespie, 2004; Baldwin, 2007; Givnish et al., 2009; further discussion in Levin, 2003) or habitats created by mountain uplift (e.g. Hughes & Eastwood, 2006).”
The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas (2015, background): “…the temporal variation of diversification rates allows addressing questions related to phenomena like rapid radiations (Baldwin & Sanderson, 1998; Hughes & Eastwood, 2006; Day, Cotton & Barraclough, 2008; Valente et al., 2010), massive extinctions (Bininda-Emonds et al., 2007), effects of past…”
Tropical and Temperate: Evolutionary History of Páramo Flora (2011, background): “…leading to diversified flower morphology, and habitat heterogeneity have been suggested as possible mechanisms that enhanced species evolution within páramo groups (Cuatrecasas, 1986; Molau, 1988; Simpson & Todzia, 1990; Luteyn, 2002; Kadereit & von Hagen, 2003; Hughes & Eastwood, 2006).”
Wetland-Dryland Vegetational Dynamics in the Pennsylvanian Ice Age Tropics (2013, background): “A heterogeneity model, in combination with consideration of the response of plants to regional climate changes within these mountainous areas, could have important evolutionary implications, as documented for modern mountaintop islands (Hughes and Eastwood 2006; Kramer et al. 2011).”
Origins of global mountain plant biodiversity: Testing the ‘mountain‐geobiodiversity hypothesis’ (2019, neutral): “…for each mountain system: tropical (green), subtropical (orange), or temperate (dark blue) spaces fostered by geological or climatic modifications; Hughes & Eastwood, 2006; Uribe‐Convers & Tank, 2015; Winkworth, 2004), the interaction between key innovations (intrinsic/trait) and oppor‐ tunities…”
Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation (Forthcoming) (2016, neutral): “It has also been suggested that speciation associated with tropical mountains may have fuelled today’s tropical diversity (Hughes & Eastwood, 2006; Thomas et al., 2008; Fjeldså et al., 2012); phylogenetic research provides qualified support (S€arkinen et al., 2012), and there are examples of the…”
Evolutionary islands in the Andes: persistence and isolation explain high endemism in Andean dry tropical forests (2012, background): “The endemic HEG clades show higher diversification rates and younger crown node ages, features typical of rapid diversifications driven by ecological opportunities (e.g. Hughes & Eastwood, 2006).”
Reconstructing the deep-branching relationships of the papilionoid legumes (2013, neutral): “The genus Lupinus L., one of the most spectacular plant radiations (Hughes and Eastwood, 2006), is also the most diverse within the clade.”
Phylogenetic relationships and distribution of New World Melastomeae (Melastomataceae) (2013, background): “Several plant groups in the high Andes seem to follow this pattern, but in many cases they have originated in temperate environments outside South America (von Hagen & Kadereit, 2001, 2003; Bell & Donoghue, 2005; Hughes & Eastwood, 2006; Fritsch et al., 2008).”
Island biogeography of tropical alpine floras (2014, background): “Remarkably high speciation rates have been demonstrated in Andean genera such as Gentianella, Valeriana and Lupinus (von Hagen & Kadereit, 2001; Bell & Donoghue, 2005; Hughes & Eastwood, 2006), although there are also a number of relatively species-poor p aramo groups (Luteyn, 1999).”
