The diversification of eastern South American open vegetation biomes: Historical biogeography and perspectives (2011, background): “…corridors: (1) Andean corridor, through the eastern Andean slopes; (2) central Amazonian corridor, following a belt of lower precipitation across central Amazon; or (3) the coastal corridor along the eastern Atlantic coast (Sarmiento, 1983; Silva and Bates, 2002; Van der Hammen and Absy, 1994).”
Tree species of South America central savanna: endemism, marginal areas and the relationship with other biomes (2016, background): “Information obtained from these regions can be extremely valuable in understanding historical and biological processes, since they contribute greatly to the biome’s heterogeneity and present an intense interchange of species between neighbouring biomes (Silva & Bates 2002).”
Squamate richness in the Brazilian Cerrado and its environmental–climatic associations (2007, background): “The Cerrado is the second largest biome in South America, originally occupying about 20% of Brazil’s land surface (Ab’Saber, 1977; Ratter et al ., 1997; Silva & Bates, 2002).”
Plant-hummingbird interaction networks in urban areas: Generalization and the importance of trees with specialized flowers as a nectar resource for pollinator conservation (2019, background): “The natural vegetation in the region is Cerrado , the Neotropical sa-vannah ecosystem in Central Brazil characterized by patchy distribution of forests and other vegetation types embedded in typical shrubby sa-vanna areas (Silva and Bates, 2002).”
Cladistic analysis of distributions and endemism (CADE): using raw distributions of birds to unravel the biogeography of the South American aridlands (2005, background): “The Cerrado is known to be a mosaic of arid and humid vegetation, the latter mostly in the form of gallery and riverine forests, which contain many birds of primarily Amazonian or Atlantic Forest affinity ( Silva & Bates, 2002 ).”
Anuran Species Composition and Distribution Patterns in Brazilian Cerrado, a Neotropical Hotspot (2012, result): “…Forest. the espinhaço range is recognized as an area of endemism for plants (Giulietti and pirani 1988; safford 1999; calió et al. 2008), birds (silva and bates 2002), and, more recently, amphibians (leite et al. 2008). our results are consistent with heyer’s (1999) statement that many…”
Centres of plant endemism in China: places for survival or for speciation? (2011, neutral): “…and neoendemics in biology, some authors consider that palaeoendemics are Tertiary lineages or older (>2.6 Ma), whereas neoendemics are the result of recent speciation processes mostly as a consequence of the glacial/interglacial cycles during the Quaternary (e.g. da Silva & Bates, 2002).”
Morphological and Spatio‐Temporal Mismatches Shape a Neotropical Savanna Plant‐Hummingbird Network (2014, background): “The Cerrado is a clear example of a complex and patchy ecosystem (Silva & Bates 2002), in which the mosaic of distinct habitats is connected by the movement of species, especially highly mobile avian species (Tubelis et al. 2004, Maruyama et al. 2013a).”
The lizard assemblage from Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest enclaves in the Cerrado biome, Brazil, and its association with the Pleistocenic Arc (2006, background): “If this really was the case, some components of Caatinga may have colonized the Cerrado region, where populations would have been maintained at present-day levels in SDTF enclaves (Silva & Bates, 2002).”
