Sky islands of southwest China. I: an overview of phylogeographic patterns (2014, background): “The most common diversification pattern observed in sky-island area is allopatric diversification, due to niche conservatism, which means the ‘‘tendency of lineages to maintain their ancestral ecological niche’’ [17, 18].”
The late Paleozoic ecological-evolutionary laboratory, a land-plant fossil record perspective (2014, positive): “These floras show long-term compositional conservatism and intra-assemblage species turnover strongly constrained by evolutionary-lineage ecological centroids (DiMichele and Phillips 1996b), a pattern reflective of “phylogenetic niche conservatism” (e.g., Prinzing 2001; Wiens 2004).”
Phylogenetic beta diversity: linking ecological and evolutionary processes across space in time. (2008, background): “If organisms traits are generally conserved with respect to their environmental niches, this should promote isolation between high elevation habitats and hence increase the potential for allopatric speciation ( Wiens 2004 ).”
Is diversification rate related to climatic niche width (2015, background): “On the other hand, a negative relationship might arise if speciation is driven by climatic niche conservatism instead of divergence (i.e. species are geographically isolated by a climatically unsuitable habitat; e.g. Wiens, 2004; Kozak & Wiens, 2006; Hua & Wiens, 2013).”
Wetland-Dryland Vegetational Dynamics in the Pennsylvanian Ice Age Tropics (2013, background): “…centroids of the major clades, resulting in phylogenetically conservative patterns of species replacement through time (DiMichele and Phillips 1996a), so-called niche conservatism (this is currently an active field of study; see Ackerly 2003; Wiens 2004; Wiens and Graham 2005; Wiens et al. 2010).”
Climate change and the origin of migratory pathways in the Swainson's thrush, Catharus ustulatus (2006, neutral): “Given this interpretation, our data support the idea that climatic niches can evolve over relatively short evolutionary time-scales (Schluter, 2000; Rice et al., 2003) and contrast with the idea that climatic niches are highly conserved between sister taxa (Peterson et al., 1999; Wiens, 2004).”
Integrating GIS-based environmental data into evolutionary biology. (2008, background): “What role does ecology play in speciation? GIS-based models of the potential geographic distribution of sister species are providing fresh insights into the role of ecological factors in driving allopatric speciation [4,25] ,a question that has largely been ignored until recently [ 26 ].”
Historical biogeography, ecology and species richness. (2004, background): “niche conservatism can be seen as a pattern or outcome rather than a process, it can be actively maintained by microevolutionary forces over time [ 27 ].”
Evolution, origin and age of lineages in the Californian and Mediterranean floras (2009, background): “…to those outside, but physical or environmental barriers limit colonization, then we would expect either disjunct populations of species spanning the divide, or ecologically similar sister taxa that have speciated as a result of physical barriers to gene flow (Peterson et al., 1999; Wiens, 2004).”
A new lizard assemblage from the earliest eocene (Zone Wa0) of the bighorn basin, wyoming, USA: Biogeography during the warmest interval of the cenozoic (2009, background): “Thomas 1994); the second describes the resistance of the fundamental niche to change even during speciation (Wiens 2004).”
Can biotic interactions cause allopatry? Niche models, competition, and distributions of South American mouse opossums (2014, background): “…although the possibility that biotic interactions could create and/or maintain allopatry (rather than just parapatry) has been contemplated (Wiens 2004, Waters 2011; see Polechov á and Barton 2005 regarding sympatric and parapatric speciation), little empirical evidence exists to support…”
Phylogenetic signals in the climatic niches of the world's amphibians (2010, background): “Niche conservatism is a topic of recent growing interest (Peterson et al. 1999, Prinzing et al. 2001, Wiens 2004, Wiens and Graham 2005, Kozak and Wiens 2006, Freckleton and Jetz 2009, Vieites et al. 2009a, Dormann et al. 2010).”
What Salamanders Have Taught Us About Evolution (2009, background): “What Darwin termed “unity of type” applies more to clades than species (Wake 2006, Wake et al. 1983a, Wiens 2004).”
Rethinking receiver operating characteristic analysis applications in ecological niche modeling (2008, background): “…unrelated to landscape suitability (e.g., historical ispersal limitations, speciation events, interspecific interacions) (Peterson et al., 1999; Wiens, 2004; Wiens and Graham, 005): these areas do not represent model prediction error, ut rather offer an accurate depiction of the spatial…”
A phylogenetic perspective on the distribution of plant diversity (2008, background): “Furthermore, under the assumption that opportunities to undergo major shifts have regularly presented themselves, PNC implies that these opportunities have not been seized so readily that high-level eco-phylogenetic correlations are completely overridden by ongoing low-level niche shifting.”
