The role of desiccation tolerance in determining tree species distributions along the Malay–Thai Peninsula (2008, background): “Likewise, while evidence of both floral and faunal transitions at the Isthmus of Kra is ample (Corbet 1941; Corbett & Hill 1992; Ridder-Numan 1998; Inger & Voris 2001; Hughes, Round & Woodruff 2003), there is little evidence of a faunal transition at the KPL (e.g. Hughes et al. 2003).”
Neogene marine transgressions, palaeogeography and biogeographic transitions on the Thai–Malay Peninsula (2003, background): “We found a highly significant transition at 11–12 N, just north of the Isthmus of Kra (Hughes et al., 2003) (Fig.”
Biogeography and conservation in Southeast Asia: how 2.7 million years of repeated environmental fluctuations affect today’s patterns and the future of the remaining refugial-phase biodiversity (2010, background): “1), which is actually 300 km further south at 10 300N. Hughes et al. (2003) studied the avian Indochinese-Sundaic transition and found a significant turnover in bird species between 11 N and 13 N, just north of the Isthmus of Kra; 152 species, or half the forest-associated species present…”
Evolutionary history of the Paradoxurus palm civets – a new model for Asian biogeography (2010, background): “The Isthmus of Kra, located just north of the Thai–Malaysian border, represents a limit between the Indochinese and Sundaic subregions (see e.g. Corbet & Hill, 1992; Hughes et al., 2003; Woodruff & Turner, 2009).”
Horizontal and elevational phylogeographic patterns of Himalayan and Southeast Asian forest passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) (2012, background): “…number of so called ‘transition zones’ between zoogeographic regions have been described for East Asia, for example, the Isthmus of Kra was shown to represent a transition zone among Indo-Chinese and Sundaic faunal elements in mammals and birds (Hughes et al., 2003; Woodruff & Turner, 2009).”
