Pleistocene fragmentation of Amazon species’ ranges (2006, background): “Others have pointed out the possibility of Pleistocene climate-induced heterogeneity fragmenting species distributions within a forested matrix (Bush, 1994), an idea that has garnered some recent support (Haberle & Maslin, 1999; Cowling et al ., 2001; Ledru et al ., 2001).”
Drawbacks to palaeodistribution modelling: the case of South American seasonally dry forests (2013, methodology): “This tool can be used in association with palaeoenvironmental proxy methods (e.g. Cowling et al., 2001, 2004, 2008; Mayle, 2004; Mayle et al., 2004) to understand vegetational responses to climate change over the Tertiary and Quaternary periods or to estimate ancestral species distributions in…”
Diversity and biogeography of vascular epiphytes in Western Amazonia, Yasuní, Ecuador (2004, background): “Furthermore, there is good evidence that even slight changes in temperature, rainfall, and CO2 levels in Amazonia during the Pleistocene could have had strong impacts on canopy structure (e.g. canopy density, leaf area index) and canopy humidity (Cowling et al., 2001).”
Simulated glacial and interglacial vegetation across Africa: implications for species phylogenies and trans‐African migration of plants and animals (2007, methodology): “An allocation scheme determines the distribution of carbon resources into woody stem, root and leaf components, and is based on empirical allometric relationships (Cox, 2001).”
Molecular phylogeny of Central and South American slider turtles: implications for biogeography and systematics (Testudines: Emydidae: Trachemys) (2012, background): “…et al. 2004), dynamic vegetation model simulations reject the hypothesis of widespread grasslands in Amazonia during the last glacial maximum (e.g. Cowling et al. 2001) and genetic data suggest that diversification in tropical rainforest animals generally predates the Pleistocene (Moritz et al.…”
