Recent population declines in Afro‐Palaearctic migratory birds: the influence of breeding and non‐breeding seasons (2013, background): “…is thought to spend most of the winter was classified as arid (six species) (combining the Sahelian Acacia savannah and West Sudanian savannah, Olson et al., 2001), humid (seven species) (combining the Guinean Forest-Savannah mosaic and Guinean Moist forest) and south (two species) (Southern…”
Correlates of extinction risk in squamate reptiles: the relative importance of biology, geography, threat and range size (2016, positive): “For biogeographical realms, we created six subsets, containing species solely 240 present in one of six realms (following Olson et al., 2001): Afrotropical, Australasian, 241 Indomalayan, Nearctic, Neotropical and Palearctic.”
Complete mitochondrial genomes and a novel spatial genetic method reveal cryptic phylogeographical structure and migration patterns among brown bears in north‐western Eurasia (2013, background): “4c), which coincides with the southern border of the taiga forest biome (after Olson et al., 2001).”

Keep collecting: accurate species distribution modelling requires more collections than previously thought (2011, background): “…and Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests’ and ‘Montane Grasslands and Shrublands’ biomes of South America as defined by the World Wildlife Fund (Olson et al., 2001), thereby effectively limiting our focus Diversity and Distributions, 17, 1132–1140, ª 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 1133 to…”
Beyond climate: disturbance niche shifts in invasive species (2015, methodology): “First, we delimited the Mediterranean biome (Olson et al., 2001) for both ranges and extracted all climate data at 30′ resolution.”
Anuran Species Composition and Distribution Patterns in Brazilian Cerrado, a Neotropical Hotspot (2012, background): “…savanna vegetation as well as transition zones with other vegetation types. the resulting map widely corresponds to the cerrado ecoregion of olson et al. (2001) and it is slightly different from the cerrado biome (sensu the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), since it does…”
