Looking beyond the mountain: Dispersal barriers in a changing world (2016, background): “For instance, dispersal barriers include oceans for terrestrial species (Holt et al. 2013; Burrows et al. 2014) but can also be caused by high densities of conspecifics limiting immigration (De Meester et al. 2002).”
The spectre of biogeographical regionalization (2018, background): “Holt et al. (2013) considered that the incorporation of phylogenetic relationships allowed quantifying the affinities among regions more appropriately and, at the same time, to evaluate the spatial turnover in the phylogenetic composition of biotas.”
Biome Shifts and Niche Evolution in Plants (2014, background): “Biomes are distinct from biogeographic “realms” [e.g., the six of Wallace (1876), or the 11 of Holt et al. (2013); see also Kreft & Jetz (2013)] or from floristic kingdoms, regions, and provinces (e.g., Takhtajan 1986).”
Humboldt’s enigma: What causes global patterns of mountain biodiversity? (2019, background): “(6), at a resolution of 1° latitude x 1° longitude (r(2) = 0.”
Global patterns in the divergence between phylogenetic diversity and species richness in terrestrial birds (2017, methodology): “We calculated the distance of each grid cell to the nearest neighbouring realm based on an updated version of Wallace’s zoogeographical regions of the world (Holt et al., 2013).”
Global patterns of terrestrial assemblage turnover within and among land uses (2016, background): “In particular, tropical communities are structured differently from temperate ones (Holt et al. 2013) and face different climatic conditions, but it is not known whether land use affects beta diversity similarly in these two realms.”
Biodiversity in the Mexican highlands and the interaction of geology, geography and climate within the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt (2015, background): “Neotropical taxa (corresponding to Panamanian taxa in the regional biogeographical update of Holt et al., 2013) are those related to species from Central and South America.”
Habitat availability for amphibians and extinction threat: a global analysis (2015, methodology): “We show that deductive models can Figure 1 Proportion of suitable habitat for amphibians with different habitat specialization [forest specialists, specialists of open habitats (grassland/ shrubland), generalists] taking into account differences among zoogeographic realms (Holt et al., 2013).”
