Integrative inventory of Bolivia’s lowland anurans reveals hidden diversity (2011, background): “The vicinity of this world ‘biodiversity hotspot’ (Myers et al. 2000; Mittermeier et al. 2005; Ratter et al. 2006) may be one reason for the high anuran diversity found in the Chiquitano region.”
Review of plant biogeographic studies in Brazil (2009, background): “Most of the cerrado vegetation is characterized by savanna physiognomies with a grass-rich ground layer growing on nutrient-poor soils with high aluminum content (Eiten, 1972; Ratter et al., 1997, 2006).”
Evidence for Adaptation to Fire Regimes in the Tropical Savannas of the Brazilian Cerrado (2012, background): “As several authors have pointed out, there is intergradation of growth forms between trees, shrubs, and perennial plants that appear herbaceous but sprout each year from woody rootstocks (Eiten 1972; Gottsberger and SilberbauerGottsberger 2006; Ratter et al. 2006).”
