A Brief History of South American Metatherians: Evolutionary Contexts and Intercontinental Dispersals (2016, background): “2.6b), in forested habitats of the Neotropical Region (sensu Morrone 2004, 2006; see Chap.”
The diversification of eastern South American open vegetation biomes: Historical biogeography and perspectives (2011, background): “Chaco biogeography is often studied in the broader context of the Paraguay-Paraná Basin, mainly located in Paraguay and also including the campos Cerrados and the Paranean semi-deciduous forests of the SDTF Misiones Nucleus (Spichiger et al., 2006, 2004) (Fig.”
Biodiversity in the Mexican highlands and the interaction of geology, geography and climate within the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt (2015, background): “2; Graham, 1992; Coates et al., 1992; Webb, 2006; but see Montes et al., 2012 for evidence of the bridge existing since late Eocene to late Miocene) and by groups that diversified in Central America during the Oligocene (33–23 Ma) (Graham, 1992; Wendt, 1993; Morrone, 2006, 2010).”
The spectre of biogeographical regionalization (2018, background): “Their recognition at lower hierarchical levels has been suggested occasionally (e.g. Escalante, 2009; Morrone, 2006).”
Biogeographical transition zones: a search for conceptual synthesis (2014, background): “Indeed, whereas some transition zones may harbour a depauperate biota, others exhibit an unusually high diversity (Morrone, 2006), which may be represented by strong species richness gradients, high spatial replacement of species or a combination of both (Ruggiero & Ezcurra, 2003).”
Biogeographical revision of Argentina (Andean and Neotropical Regions): an analysis using freshwater fishes (2008, background): “There are numerous classifications for the distribution of the freshwater fishes of Argentina (see Table 1), as well as other wider biogeographical classifications of South America (see Crisci et al., 1991a, b; Humphries & Parenti, 1999; Morrone, 2006).”
Climatic stability in the Brazilian Cerrado: implications for biogeographical connections of South American savannas, species richness and conservation in a biodiversity hotspot (2012, background): “…and Chaco areas were predicted as being unsuitable for Cerrado occurrence in all models (Chapada do Araripe is an exception within Caatinga), contradicting studies that treat the open diagonal biomes as a single biogeographical unit or area of endemism (Porzecanski & Cracraft, 2005; Morrone, 2006).”
Biogeographical regionalisation of the world: a reappraisal (2015, background): “In the boundaries between the latter, five transition zones are delimited, as formerly recognised by several authors (e.g. Müller 1986; Halffter 1987; Morrone 2006, 2014, 2015a, 2015b; Kreft and Jetz 2013).”
Fundamental biogeographic patterns across the Mexican Transition Zone: an evolutionary approach (2010, background): “Morrone (2005, 2006) assigned the Sierra Madre Occidental, Sierra Madre Oriental, Transmexican Volcanic Belt, Balsas Basin, and Sierra Madre del Sur provinces to the Mexican Transition Zone.”
Cryptic Species of the Anastrepha fraterculus Complex (Diptera: Tephritidae): A Multivariate Approach for the Recognition of South American Morphotypes (2012, methodology): “…function analyses (DFA) were applied to the entire data set, grouping specimens by their locality of origin in all instances, but samples were analyzed in three separate sets according to their biogeographical location within the major areas of the Neotropical Region (sensu Morrone 2006).”
Phylogeny, diversification patterns and historical biogeography of euglossine orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (2010, methodology): “We assigned taxa to biogeographical regions of endemism described by Morrone (2006), and coded the distribution (presence/absence) of orchid bee taxa into discrete geographical regions by surveying both the literature (Kimsey, 1982; Ramírez et al., 2002; Roubik & Hanson, 2004; Nemésio & Silveira,…”
Probabilistic historical biogeography: new models for founder-event speciation, imperfect detection, and fossils allow improved accuracy and model-testing (2013, neutral): “ Finally, on top of the diversity of computational approaches, decades-‐old, nonalgorithmic techniques such as panbiogeography remain in use (Morrone 2006; Grehan & Schwartz 2009; Heads 2012), although not without substantial protest (Waters et al.”
Review of plant biogeographic studies in Brazil (2009, background): “…and Moraceae seem to have had most of their Neotropical species derived from northern hemisphere ancestors through Laurasian migrations (Chanderbali et al., 2001; Renner et al., 2001; Pennington & Dick, 2004; Richardson et al., 2004; Weeks et al., 2005; Zerega et al., 2005; Muellner et al., 2006).”
Biogeography of the Monte Desert (2009, background): “Also a panbiogeographic analysis (Roig-Juñent et al., 2003) related the Patagonian steppe to Puna, which is another of the provinces considered by Morrone (2006) as part of the South American Transition Zone.”
