Constraints on the early uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (2008, background): “Rowley DB, Currie BS (2006) Paleo-altimetry of the Late Eocene to Miocene Lunpola basin, central Tibet.”
Uplift-driven diversification in the Hengduan Mountains, a temperate biodiversity hotspot (2017, background): “One is that the central plateau was uplifted first, forming a “proto-QTP” as early as 40 Mya, with subsequent outward extensions by the early Miocene (11, 14).”
Has Vicariance or Dispersal Been the Predominant Biogeographic Force in Madagascar? Only Time Will Tell (2006, background): “The last major climatic event to impact the Malagasy biota was the initiation of the Indian monsoons in the Late Miocene (∼8 Ma), perhaps coincident with the rise of the Tibetan Plateau (Rowley & Currie 2006).”
The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas (2015, background): “The uplift of the QTP is likely to have started during or shortly after the beginning of the collision (about 45 to 40Ma; Li & Fang, 1999; Mulch & Chamberlain, 2006; Rowley & Currie, 2006).”
Why mountains matter for biodiversity (2019, background): “Still other mountain systems show clear evidence for an older topography (e.g. European Alps; Campani, Mulch, Kempf, Schlunegger, & Mancktelow, 2012; North American Cordillera, Tibet; Chamberlain et al., 2012; Rowley & Currie, 2006).”
