• Consistent patterns of elevational change in tree taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity across Malesian mountain forests (2013, background): “Our phylogram (see Appendix S1) shows that relatively young genera (aged < 15 Ma) are primarily found in genus-rich tropical families (Annonaceae, Myristicaceae) or families with their centre of distribution in the tropics (Lauraceae, Meliaceae, Rubiaceae; Heywood et al., 2007).”
• The imbalance of nature: revisiting a Darwinian framework for invasion biology (2014, methodology): “…one or more native floristic regions to each introduced species and estimated the PD of each region using mapped occurrences of 504 angiosperm families (Heywood et al., 2007) in a phylogenetic analysis of relative total branch lengths across regions [Faith’s (1992) PD; see Appendix S1 for details].”
• Forest aboveground biomass along an elevational transect in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the role of Fagaceae in tropical montane rain forests (2010, background): “…based on biogeographical criteria that followed the families’ main geographical distribution patterns and richness centres, as described by Heywood et al. (2007), where (1) ‘tropical’ families are restricted to tropical regions; (2) ‘centred in tropics’ means the family has experienced…”
• The alien flora of Greece: taxonomy, life traits and habitat preferences (2010, background): “Poaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, and Brassicaceae are the largest families in the native flora and in the Mediterranean basin, as well, but have a global distribution and include cultivated plants (Heywood et al. 2007).”
• Global assessment of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus diversity reveals very low endemism (2015, background): “We showed that the cosmopolitan distribution pattern of AM fungal taxa contrasts with that of their host plants at the species level, whereas the host plants exhibit a similar pattern at a taxonomic rank several levels higher (18).”
• Global angiosperm family richness revisited: linking ecology and evolution to climate (2011, methodology): “The global family richness pattern was derived from the 413 families recognized by the APG III (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, 2009) classification matched to the 506 family distri- 1254 Journal of Biogeography 38, 1253–1266 ª 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd bution maps from Heywood et al.

• Growth and wood density predict tree mortality in Amazon forests (2008, background): “Palms (Arecaceae) were excluded, because they lack secondary growth and have different growth patterns than dicotyledonous trees (Heywood et al. 2007).”
