Global patterns in the shape of species geographical ranges reveal range determinants (2012, background): “…expert-drawn range maps for the world amphibians (IUCN, 2009), the New World birds and mammals (Ridgely et al. , 2007), and the New World palms (Henderson et al. , 1995), as well as from atlases of presence– absence for European mammals (Mitchell-Jones et al. , 1999), ) and the ﬁt of potential…”
The fossil history of palms (Arecaceae) in Africa and new records from the Late Oligocene (28–27 Mya) of north-western Ethiopia (2006, background): “Modern African palm diversity (excluding Madagascar) is low compared with the New and the Old World tropics outside of Africa (Uhl & Dransfield, 1987; Dransfield, 1988; Henderson, Galeano & Bernal, 1995 ).”
Seed survival and dispersal of an endemic Atlantic forest palm: the combined effects of defaunation and forest fragmentation (2006, background): “(Arecaceae) is endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, occurring from Bahia to Santa Catarina (Henderson et al ., 1995; Lorenzi et al ., 2004).”
High tropical net diversification drives the New World latitudinal gradient in palm (Arecaceae) species richness (2008, methodology): “Suprageneric classification followed that of Dransfield et al. (2005), while species names generally followed the system of Henderson et al. (1995); see Appendix S1 for further details.”
Analysing botanical collecting effort in Amazonia and correcting for it in species range estimation (2007, background): “…areas of distribution of Amazonian species are currently depicted as simple dot maps (the standard presentation form in, for example, taxonomic treatments), maps of occupied grid cells (e.g. Kress et al., 1998) or maps based on expert opinion (e.g. Henderson et al., 1995; Ridgely et al., 2005).”
Historical legacies in the geographical diversity patterns of New World palm (Arecaceae) subfamilies (2006, background): “Cocos nucifera and Bactris gasipaes were excluded from the analyses because they are widely cultivated (Henderson et al ., 1995).”
Mauritia flexuosa palm swamp communities: natural or human-made? A palynological study of the Gran Sabana region (northern South America) within a neotropical context (2014, background): “…that some studies do not differentiate between Mauritia and Mauritiella pollen and their records might be mixed in some cases; however, the ecological requirements and the geographical distribution of the species of these two genera are similar (Henderson et al., 1995; Dransfield et al. 2008).”
The significance of geographic range size for spatial diversity patterns in Neotropical palms (2006, methodology): “Range maps of all New World species of palms were compiled from Henderson et al. (1995) and digitized in ArcView 3.2.”
