Expanding, shifting and shrinking: The impact of global warming on species’ elevational distributions (2018, background): “Climate underlies the range limits of diverse taxa (Wiens & Graham, 2005), but its relative importance in governing the warm versus cool ends of species’ distributions remains contentious.”
Conservation biogeography of freshwater fishes: recent progress and future challenges (2010, background): “More generally, niche conservatism has important implications in studying allopatric speciation, historical biogeography and exploring patterns and mechanisms of species richness and assemblage structure at broad spatial scales (Wiens & Graham, 2005).”
Phylogenetic relatedness and plant invader success across two spatial scales (2009, background): “From this we can predict that invasive species will be phylogenetically clustered under phylogenetic niche conservatism (Ackerly, 2003, 2004; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Wiens, 2004; Wiens & Graham, 2005; Silvertown et al ., 2006a,b).”
Phylogenetic conservatism in plant phenology (2013, background): “…many sites, the sampled taxa represent only a subset of the complete ﬂ ora, and we do not have comprehensive data on the pool of Northern Hemisphere angiosperms to evaluate evidence for environmental ﬁ ltering sensu Webb et al. (2002) or phylogenetic niche conservatism sensu Wiens & Graham (2005).”
Isolation and introgression in the Intermountain West: contrasting gene genealogies reveal the complex biogeographic history of the American pika (Ochotona princeps) (2010, background): “1Department of Ecology and Evolutionary”
Estimating demographic models for the range dynamics of plant species (2010, background): “Phenomenological models are now widely used both to test fundamental hypotheses and to forecast the effects of environmental change on biodiversity (Wiens & Graham, 2005).”
Phylogeography unplugged: comparative surveys in the genomic era (2014, background): “Wiens and Graham (2005) proposed a niche conservatism model based on phylogenetic history to explain contemporary patterns of species richness, thereby making a case for combining ecology and evolution.”
Phylogenetic diversity, trait diversity and niches: species assembly of ferns along a tropical elevational gradient (2011, background): “As newly evolved taxa tend to be ecologically similar (Wiens & Graham, 2005), there may be a link between the phylogenetic relatedness of species within an assemblage, traits of these species, and the ecological processes that determine their co-occurrence (Kraft et al., 2007).”
Hard and soft allopatry: physically and ecologically mediated modes of geographic speciation (2010, background): “…populations are isolated by the geographically divergent effects of ecological conditions experienced by individuals in different regions, and by their impacts on the range limits and distribution of the species (e.g. Kirkpatrick & Barton, 1997; Knowles, 2001a; Gee, 2004; Wiens & Graham, 2005).”
Rethinking receiver operating characteristic analysis applications in ecological niche modeling (2008, methodology): “…ecent applications of these methods are explicitly ENM (niche- odeling) applications (Anderson et al., 2002; Pearson et al., 002; Graham et al., 2004; Araújo et al., 2005a; Thuiller et al., 005; Wiens and Graham, 2005), so the customary ROC analyes should be regarded with caution in these cases.”
