Are the Northern Andes a species pump for Neotropical birds? Phylogenetics and biogeography of a clade of Neotropical tanagers (Aves: Thraupini) (2010, neutral): “Such one-dimensional analyses insufficiently characterize the complete spatial pattern of species richness (Hawkins, 2004; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004).”
Uses and misuses of bioclimatic envelope modeling. (2012, background): “Given the theory (Wiens and Donoghue 2004, Wiens and Graham 2005) and the weight of existing empirical evidence, it is reasonable to expect that some significant degree of conservatism of the fundamental niches exists that provides predictability across taxa, environmental dimensions, and time…”
Climatic niche conservatism and the evolutionary dynamics in species range boundaries: global congruence across mammals and amphibians (2011, background): “If, however, large-scale range limits are largely governed by slowly evolving environmental tolerances (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004), then these limits will tend to be more similar among related species than are range sizes (Roy et al., 2009).”
Species interactions and thermal constraints on ant community structure (2010, background): “At large spatial scales, historical processes determine properties of the regional species pool (Ricklefs 2004), which in turn influence the composition of local communities (Webb et al. 2002, Wiens and Donoghue 2004).”
An assessment of endemism and species richness patterns in the Australian Anura (2007, background): “By contrast, the microhylids are restricted to northern Australia, possibly indicating recent arrival in Australia from New Guinea (Tyler, 1999), or tropical niche conservatism (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004).”
Global angiosperm family richness revisited: linking ecology and evolution to climate (2011, background): “…also Latham & Ricklefs (1993a) for an earlier presentation of this explanation] is now referred to as the tropical conservatism hypothesis (TCH; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004), which is receiving attention because it generates testable predictions about the phylogenetic structure of diversity…”
Different evolutionary histories underlie congruent species richness gradients of birds and mammals (2012, background): “…and past climates (Hawkins et al., 2003, 2007; Araújo et al., 2008), geographical variation in the timing of the origin and spread of clades (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Jablonski et al., 2006; Wiens et al., 2006, 2009; Krug et al., 2009) and variable diversification rates (Hawkins et al.,…”
The Mid‐Domain Effect: There’s a Baby in the Bathwater (2005, background): “…(Currie et al. 2004) indicates that gradient-based theories of species richness still have far to go, and the same may be said for historical approaches to the problem (Wiens and Donoghue 2004), even though both approaches represent the accumulated wisdom of 125 years of thought and study.”
A framework for delineating biogeographical regions based on species distributions (2010, background): “Future progress towards a more synthetic understanding of global biogeographical patterns will be made at the interface between both branches (Ricklefs, 2004; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004).”
Refugia within refugia – patterns in endemism and genetic divergence are linked to Late Quaternary climate stability in the Iberian Peninsula (2014, background): “Fluctuating environments may increase extinction rate or preclude specialization, whereas persistence and speciation are favoured by climate stability over geological time scales (Dynesius & Jansson, 2000; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Jablonski, Roy & Valentine, 2006).”
Forest disturbance accelerates thermophilization of understory plant communities (2015, background): “An alternative means of quantifying community thermophilization is to use biogeographic affinity, which describes the general climatic tolerances of taxa based on climatic conditions of the regions and time periods under which they evolved and diversified (Wiens & Donoghue 2004).”
SCALE AND HIERARCHY IN MACROEVOLUTION (2007, background): “…diversity gradient, the most pervasive biological pattern in the global biota, appears to be shaped significantly by interregional dispersal, contrary to the widespread assumption that in situ diversification predominates (e.g. Jablonski 1993; Wiens and Donoghue 2004; Jablonski et al. 2006).”
Spatial species‐richness gradients across scales: a meta‐analysis (2009, background): “Given the strong arguments in the literature about the likely importance of historical contingency for species richness (e.g. Latham & Ricklefs, 1993; McGlone, 1996; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Hawkins et al., 2006; Mittelbach et al., 2007), our results may be considered surprising.”
Is a new paradigm emerging for oceanic island biogeography? (2007, background): “…clear for many years that both models could not both be correct and complete; but for years, many studies utilized only one model or the other, despite calls for integration and synthesis (e.g. Brown, 1986, 2004; Heaney, 1986, 2000; Whittaker, 1998, 2004; Lomolino, 2000; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004).”
Spatial mismatch and congruence between taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity: the need for integrative conservation strategies in a changing world. (2010, background): “The need for a combined ecological and phylogenetic framework to explain large scale patterns is now accepted (Wiens & Donoghue 2004).”
Global analysis of bird elevational diversity (2009, background): “Lastly (prediction C), niche conservatism proposes that climatic conditions within which a taxon evolved – tropical-like conditions for most modern groups and species – should be conserved in the present (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004).”
High tropical net diversification drives the New World latitudinal gradient in palm (Arecaceae) species richness (2008, background): “…corollary of the time hypothesis is that basal, relict clades that have experienced low net diversification (high extinction and/or low speciation) rates would occur primarily in long-inhabited and therefore species-rich regions (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Stevens, 2006; Mittelbach et al., 2007).”
Local climatic changes affect biodiversity responses to land use: A review (2019, background): “In temperate latitudes, abiotic factors (e.g. climate) are thought to be the primary influence on distri‐ bution limits, whereas in the tropics, biotic factors (interactions with other species) are suggested to prevail (Khaliq et al., 2017; MacArthur, 1972; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004).”
Evolutionary Legacy Effects on Ecosystems: Biogeographic Origins, Plant Traits, and Implications for Management in the Era of Global Change (2016, background): “Relatively few lineages evolved the necessary traits to make this transition (Zanne et al. 2014), contributing to the latitudinal diversity gradient (Fine 2015, Latham & Ricklefs 1993, Wiens & Donoghue 2004).”
