Seasonal drought limits tree species across the Neotropics (2017, background): “As ever, untangling ecological and historical explanations of patterns of diversity is difficult with data solely on species distributions (Ricklefs 2004). et al. 2011), are thought to have influenced speciation (cf. Richardson et al. 2001, Erkens et al. 2007, although see Hoorn et al. 2010).”
Review of plant biogeographic studies in Brazil (2009, background): “…on Amazonian diversification suggest that it is unlikely for the pattern to be adequately explained by the model of vicariance alone (Bush, 1994), requiring a mixture of pre-Pleistocene speciation events (Patton & Silva, 2005) and recent radiations (Richardson et al., 2001; Erkens et al., 2007).”
RECONSTRUCTING THE PHYLOGENY OF LEGUMES (LEGUMINOSAE): AN EARLY 21 ST CENTURY PERSPECTIVE (2003, background): “…et al., 1999; Pennington et al., 2000; Lavin et al., 2001a), while the combination of molecular phylogenies with paleontological/geological evidence and biogeography is illuminating the evolutionary histories of diverse legume groups (e.g., Lavin et al., 2000, 200lb; Richardson et al., 2001).”
Why are there so many plant species in the Neotropics (2011, background): “Nevertheless, there are many limitations and caveats associated with molecular-dating analyses, and results are highly influenced by taxon sampling, methodology, and fossil calibrations (e.g., Linder & al., 2005; Renner, 2005; Ricklefs, 2007).”
Phylogeny and Biogeography of Isophyllous Species of Campanula (Campanulaceae) in the Mediterranean Area (2006, background): “In several studies, substitution rates per site and year were established for particular groups (Richardson et al. 2001).”
The significance of geographic range size for spatial diversity patterns in Neotropical palms (2006, background): “Recent molecular studies on the species-rich genus Inga have provided further evidence for rapid diversification simultaneously to the uplift of the Andes and the bridging of the Isthmus of Panama (Richardson et al. 2001).”
Some Evolutionary Consequences of Being a Tree (2006, background): “Similarly, there has been a recent report of extraordinary rapid diversification in a neotropical tree genus (Inga), but the corresponding species are considered to have low generation times for trees (Richardson et al. 2001), so all these examples do not contradict the rule.”
Neotropical Plant Evolution: Assembling the Big Picture (2013, background): “, 2009), recent crown-node age estimates (Richardson et al., 2001; Lavin, 2006), lack of obvious large-scale geographical structure across the phylogenetic tree (Richardson et al.”
Centres of plant endemism in China: places for survival or for speciation? (2011, neutral): “…and other tectonic movements are well-known speciation drivers for the late Neogene and Quaternary; in South America, for example, the recent phases of the Northern Andes uplift (from the Pliocene onwards) are correlated with many speciation events (Fjeldså, 1994; Richardson et al., 2001).”
Phylogenetic diversity of Amazonian tree communities (2015, background): “…from the Andes (Hoorn et al., 2010; Quesada et al., 2011) might be expected to show lower PD than expected given their high SR because of the dominance of recent evolutionary radiations of certain clades within which phylogenetic branches are short (Richardson et al., 2001; Erkens et al., 2007).”
Historical biogeography and life‐history evolution of Andean Puya (Bromeliaceae) (2013, methodology): “…biogeographical explanations for Andean radiations are increasingly based on timecalibrated phylogenies and use of explicit biogeographical models (Richardson et al., 2001; Berry et al., 2004; Kay et al., 2005; Moore & Donoghue, 2007; Alzate, Mort & Ramirez, 2008; Drummond, 2008; Antonelli et…”
Evolutionary Relationships Within the Species-Rich Genus Ruellia (Acanthaceae) (2007, background): “…two species, Table 1) and a simple ITS molecular clock (range: 3.94–6.06 substitutions per site per billion years, taken from Asteraceae estimates [Richardson et al. 2001)], the maximum and minimum divergence times for the MRCA of Ruellia s. l. is approximately 13.7–9.1 MYA ([11.0% * 0.5] /…”
Reconstructing the deep-branching relationships of the papilionoid legumes (2013, neutral): “…de Queiroz and Lavin, 2011; Särkinen et al., 2012), which contrasts to the low resolution within the Swartzia clade and which is taken as evidence of rapid and recent diversification of the constituent genera expected for rain forest legumes (e.g., Richardson et al., 2001; Pennington et al., 2009).”
