Beyond trees: Biogeographical regionalization of tropical Africa (2018, background): “…2000; Cheek, Pollard, Darbyshire, Onana, & Wild, 2004; Harvey, Pollard, Darbyshire, Onana, & Cheek, 2004; Harvey, Tchiengu e, & Cheek, 2010; Linder, 2001b; Sosef et al., 2017) and has been described as an important part of the Afromontane and tropical Afroalpine regions (Gehrke & Linder,…”
High plant endemism in China is partially linked to reduced glacial‐interglacial climate change (2016, background): “A number of previous empirical studies have indeed suggested that endemic species are concentrated in such stable areas (Fjelds a & Lovett, 1997a; Crisp et al., 2001; Linder, 2001; Jansson, 2003; Sandel et al., 2011).”
Rarity and abundance in a diverse African forest (2007, background): “The belt is characterized by wet forested lowlands, often backed by mountain ranges, and is generally reported to be rich in species (Linder 2001).”
Areas of endemism of vascular plants in the Eastern Alps in relation to Pleistocene glaciation (2004, methodology): “‘Objective’ approaches such as weighted parsimony analysis (Linder, 2001b) are similar in this respect, because the subjective part is the selection of a weighting function, which influences the outcome of the analysis.”
Major gaps in the distribution of protected areas for threatened and narrow range Afrotropical plants (2005, positive): “Our analysis of the patterns of threatened species across Africa builds upon the analyses of patterns of Afrotropical plant species richness and endemism presented elsewhere (Linder 1998, 2001; Lovett et al. 2000; Mutke et al. 2001; La Ferla et al. 2002).”
Odd man out: why are there fewer plant species in African rain forests? (2014, background): “Locally, these forests show high levels of plant species diversity and endemicity (e.g., Kenfack et al. 2007; Linder 2001; Linder et al. 2012; Wasser and Lovett 1993).”
Deficiency in African plant distribution data - missing pieces of the puzzle (2006, background): “T HE B IOGEOGRAPHICAL I NFORMATION S YSTEM ON A FRICAN P LANT D IVERSITY Since 1997, several datasets on plant collection records in Africa have been established (Linder, 1998, 2001; Lovett et al ., 2000; La Ferla et al ., 2002).”
Range size, taxon age and hotspots of neoendemism in the California flora (2010, background): “…and age-weighted diversity) that incorporated age and range size data by mapping richness inversely weighted by ITS TN distance or by range size for all sampled taxon occurring in each band (c.f. Williams et al., 1993; Crisp et al., 2001; Linder, 2001; Davis et al., 2008; Thorne et al., 2009).”
The partitioning of Africa: statistically defined biogeographical regions in sub‐Saharan Africa (2012, background): “…patterns for groups of plants (e.g. grasses, Clayton & Hepper, 1974; Clayton, 1976), for more or less random samples of plants (e.g. White, 1983; Linder, 2001; Linder et al., 2005), for birds (Williams et al., 1999; de Klerk et al., 2002a), mammals (Turpie & Crowe, 1994) and amphibians and…”
Diversity hotspots and conservation gaps for the Chinese endemic seed flora (2016, background): “…used to identify global biodiversity hotspots (Myers et al., 2000);WE has been used to identify centers of endemism in sub-Saharan tropical Africa (Linder, 2001); PD has been used to identify biodiversity hotspots with evolutionary potential of flora in the Cape of South Africa (Forest et al.,…”
Global Centers of Vascular Plant Diversity (2005, background): “Continental analyses show that the southern African Cape is the most important diversity center for plant diversity in Continental Africa (LOVETT et al. 2000, KIER and BARTHLOTT 2001, LINDER 2001, MUTKE et al. 2002, KIER et al. 2005, KÜPER et al. 2004).”
Focus on African freshwaters: hotspots of dragonfly diversity and conservation concern (2012, neutral): “Linder HP. 2001.”
The significance of geographic range size for spatial diversity patterns in Neotropical palms (2006, background): “…the correlation between species richness and range size rarity (r2 /0.14) of Neotropical palms is surprisingly low compared to values reported from other studies of parts of the African flora (Lovett et al. 2000, Linder 2001, Taplin and Lovett 2003) and the Australian flora (Crisp et al. 2001).”
Centres of plant endemism in China: places for survival or for speciation? (2011, methodology): “However, this grid size has the advantage of reducing the effect of sampling artefacts, such as the occurrence of artificially empty grid squares and mapping errors (see Linder, 2001 for a more detailed discussion).”
