Phylogenetic beta diversity: linking ecological and evolutionary processes across space in time. (2008, background): “…is that traits that confer survival and fitness in a particular niche are evolutionarily labile, and that divergent selection across environmental gradients can lead to ecological speciation, which can occur allopatrically or parapatrically (Moritz et al. 2000; Schluter 2000; Kozak & Wiens 2007).”
Patterns and levels of endemism in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest: evidence from flightless insects (2002, background): “Although we believe these areas deserve special attention and status in conservation, surrounding areas are also very important in generating rainforest diversity during periods of warmer, wetter climate (Moritz et al. 2000).”
Historical biogeography and life‐history evolution of Andean Puya (Bromeliaceae) (2013, background): “More recently diverged species are often found in the geologically younger northern Andean cordilleras and older lineages are found further south, corresponding to the south-to-north pattern of Andean uplift (Moritz et al., 2000; Emshwiller, 2002; Torres-Carvajal, 2007; Soejima et al., 2008; Cosacov”
Neotropical diversification seen through glassfrogs (2014, background): “…phenomena (e.g. orogenies, marine incursions, glaciations, and elevational habitat shifts) are linked and virtually impossible to disentangle (Moritz et al., 2000), most works addressing species diversification and biogeographical patterns and processes in the rain forests of tropical…”
Pleistocene fragmentation of Amazon species’ ranges (2006, background): “Pleistocene speciation of Amazon forest species has been rejected in multiple studies based on molecular clocks and population genetic studies (reviewed in Moritz et al., 2000; but see Richardson et al., 2001).”
Molecular phylogeny of the endemic Philippine rodent Apomys (Muridae) and the dynamics of diversification in an oceanic archipelago (2003, background): “Riddle, 1995, 1996; Avise, 2000; Arbogast & Kenagy, 2001), but most such studies deal with single species, not extensive radiations, and we know of only two that have been placed in the context of long-term dynamics of patterns of insular species richness (Moritz et al., 2000; Ricklefs & Bermingham,”
A comprehensive framework for global patterns in biodiversity (2004, background): “5 Ecologists should evaluate the underlying premise that dispersal integrates populations within regions, and they should explore incipient species formation within regions (Rosenzweig 1978; Rice 1987; Moritz et al. 2000).”
INTEGRATING PHYLOGENETICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL NICHE MODELS TO EXPLORE SPECIATION MECHANISMS IN DENDROBATID FROGS (2004, background): “In tropical systems, numerous mechanisms of speciation have been proposed to explain high species richness (Moritz et al. 2000), and we expect that the approach described here can be used to explore general trends and to target more intensive study of particular systems.”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “A significant body of ecological and molecular-phylogeographic research provides evidence that previous climatic changes during the Quaternary ice ages resulted in significant levels of localised species extinction followed by periods of recolonisation as the rainforest expanded again, with little e”
The emerging field of geogenomics: Constraining geological problems with genetic data (2014, background): “…collection intensity and may be artifacts of sampling (Nelson et al., 1990); many species complexes originated prior to the Pleistocene (reviewed in Moritz et al., 2000); and there is no strong evidence that the Amazon forest was fragmented, at least during the latest significant cold period, the…”
Avian gene trees, landscape evolution, and geology: towards a modern synthesis of Amazonian historical biogeography? (2007, background): “Few testable predictions, however, could be derived from many of these hypotheses of diversification (Patton and Silva 1998); the biggest hurdle is the lack of specific temporal and geographic contexts in the formulation of most of the proposed hypotheses, making them hard to falsify by phylogenetic”
Is diversification rate related to climatic niche width (2015, background): “…relationship between clade-level niche width and diversification if speciation is driven primarily by climatic niche divergence (e.g. such that one species cannot tolerate the climatic conditions in which its sister species lives; e.g. Moritz et al., 2000; Kozak & Wiens, 2007; Hua & Wiens, 2013).”
Nestedness of Southern Ocean island biotas: ecological perspectives on a biogeographical conundrum (2004, background): “Whilst the obvious solution to these problems might seem to be a concerted, multitaxon phylogeographical study (see Moritz & Faith, 1998; Moritz et al., 2000) of the region, too few marine and terrestrial taxa have been examined in sufficient detail for this to be done at present (although see Barge”
Hard and soft allopatry: physically and ecologically mediated modes of geographic speciation (2010, background): “…the range limits of a species, where dispersal between potentially favourable habitats is limited by a discrete topological, geological, or physiographic feature, such as a river, isthmus, or mountain range (e.g. the riverine barrier speciation model of Moritz et al., 2000; Soltis et al., 2006).”
Phylogeography of Xiphorhynchus fuscus (Passeriformes, Dendrocolaptidae): vicariance and recent demographic expansion in southern Atlantic forest (2007, background): “Some predictions for the hypothesis of rivers as primary gene flow barriers are that sister clades should occur across major rivers rather than along the same river bank and should not present signals of demographic expansion, which would favour secondary contact (Moritz et al., 2000).”
MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS AND THE ROLE OF THE “VÁRZEA”–“TERRA-FIRME” ECOTONE IN THE DIVERSIFICATION OF XIPHORHYNCHUS WOODCREEPERS (AVES: DENDROCOLAPTIDAE) (2002, background): “An important prediction of this hypothesis is that congeneric species pairs replacing each other across the várzea–terra-firme ecotone should be recently derived sister taxa (Moritz et al. 2000).”
Seasonality, the latitudinal gradient of diversity, and Eocene insects (2010, background): “…inconsistent with this, e.g., biotic ranges that conflict with expectations based on proposed refugia, and older molecular divergence times (Cracraft and Prum 1988; Nelson et al. 1990; Moritz et al. 2000; Whinnett et al. 2005; Bonaccorso et al. 2006; McKenna and Farrell 2006; Anthony et al. 2007).”
