Continental‐scale spatial phylogenetics of Australian angiosperms provides insights into ecology, evolution and conservation (2016, background): “Finally, in the Plio-Pleistocene, the desert biome formed (Byrne et al., 2008; Fujioka et al., 2009), and the eastern and western temperate biomes were separated.”
A framework for incorporating evolutionary genomics into biodiversity conservation and management (2015, neutral): “Pleistocene [28,29].”
A fresh framework for the ecology of arid Australia (2011, background): “, 2006), although this does not necessarily imply lengthy evolution in the deserts (Byrne et al., 2008).”
Projecting climate change impacts on species distributions in megadiverse South African Cape and Southwest Australian Floristic Regions: Opportunities and challenges (2009, background): “A recent review of phylogeographic patterns in the Australian arid zone shows that as the climate became drier, many species contracted to dispersed refuges across the landscape (Byrne et al. 2008).”
The crucial role of the accessible area in ecological niche modeling and species distribution modeling (2011, background): “hifting conditions can cause geographic isolation and eventual peciation (Wiens, 2004; Byrne et al., 2008; Stigall, 2008).”
Protecting the innocent: studying short-range endemic taxa enhances conservation outcomes (2011, background): “These influences are now thought to have driven the speciation process throughoutmuch ofAustralia (e.g. Byrne et al. 2008) and to have had a considerable impact on communities of organisms that are susceptible to reduced moisture and increased temperature.”
Phylogeography: its development and impact in Australo-Papuan ornithology with special reference to paraphyly in Australian birds (2009, background): “Phylogeographic study of Australia’s birds, coupled with the continent’s well-documented history (see Hugall et al. 2002; Byrne et al. 2008), is a theatre for applying theoretical and technical developments in phylogeography reviewed in the first part of this paper.”
Geodiversity and endemism in the iconic Australian Pilbara region: a review of landscape evolution and biotic response in an ancient refugium (2013, background): “A chronology of Cenozoic climate and aridification history in Australia can be found in Quilty (1994), Martin (2006), Byrne et al. (2008) and Fujioka & Chappell (2010).”
Is the Australian subterranean fauna uniquely diverse (2010, background): “Compared with other regions of the world, we consider the Australian subterranean fauna to be unique in its diversity for three key reasons: (1) the range and diversity of subterranean habitats where fauna have been discovered are both extensive and novel compared with the northern hemisphere; (2) d”
Biogeography of the Australian monsoon tropics (2010, background): “This depicts the progressive desiccation over the past 20 million years across Australia culminating in extreme aridity during glacial cycles (Byrne et al., 2008).”
A case for incorporating phylogeography and landscape genetics into species distribution modelling approaches to improve climate adaptation and conservation planning (2010, background): “…demography and landscape interactions (Opdam & Wascher, 2004; Keith et al., 2008; Vos et al., 2008), species life history traits (Poyry et al., 2008), species interactions (Araujo & Luoto, 2007) and a consideration of evolutionary history (Rouget et al., 2003; Byrne, 2008; Byrne et al., 2008).”
Biome Shifts and Niche Evolution in Plants (2014, background): “A number of studies have analyzed sets of phylogenies for plants within a region [e.g., Byrne et al. (2008, 2011), Crisp et al. (2004), and Crisp & Cook (2013) for Australia; Ackerly (2004) for California chaparral; Olmstead (2012) for South America; Guerrero et al. (2013) for the Atacama desert;…”
Mix and match: regional admixture provenancing strikes a balance among different seed-sourcing strategies for ecological restoration (2018, neutral): “After retraction of the dunes in the interglacial, unsuitable habitats became suitable and were recolonized, resulting in phylogeographic patterns similar to those from the northern hemisphere (Byrne et al. 2008).”
OCBIL theory: towards an integrated understanding of the evolution, ecology and conservation of biodiversity on old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (2009, background): “Sclerophylly appeared in many Australian plant families well before the onset of aridity from 30 Ma (Byrne et al. 2008) and its intensification over the past 10 Ma.”
