• The rich sides of mountain summits – a pan‐European view on aspect preferences of alpine plants (2016, unknown): “…a great variety of micro-habitats that differ significantly in species composition over short spatial distances (Scherrer & K€orner, 2010; K€orner, 2012), which strongly affects the distribution limits of species and of plant communities (Grabherr et al., 2001; Crawford, 2008; Wipf et al., 2013).”
• Will a 385 million year‐struggle for light become a struggle for water and for carbon? – How trees may cope with more frequent climate change‐type drought events (2011, unknown): “…as droughts and heat spells or changes in precipitation patterns along with increased air temperatures, will have a direct impact on tree functioning and physiological processes (e.g., photosynthesis, water relations, carbon balance, growth rates) and ultimately on tree survival (Crawford, 2008).”
• Latitudinal gradients as natural laboratories to infer species' responses to temperature (2013, unknown): “nal reproduction in high-latitude populations (Billings & Mooney 1968; Dorken & Eckert 2001; Crawford 2008), this trait may be more influenced by local environmental variables without a clear latitudinal pattern (e.”
• A discussion of different types of glacial refugia used in mountain biogeography and phylogeography (2009, unknown): “Nunataks (Blytt, 1882; Brochmann et al., 2003; Crawford, 2008) are glacial refugia on mountain peaks that protruded above the glaciers in the core of a mountain range.”
• Plant communities at the periphery of the Atlantic rain forest: rare-species bias and its risks for conservation. (2009, unknown): “…an indicator of conservation priority might be biased if they disregard important evolutionary and adaptive processes taking place in lower diversity communities and/or ecotones (Smith et al., 2001; Scarano, 2002) as the ones discussed here or comprehensively reviewed recently by Crawford (2008).”
