ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Freshwater paths across the ocean: molecular phylogeny of the frog Ptychadena newtoni gives insights into amphibian colonization of oceanic islands (2006, background): “For example, rafts are the likely dispersal mechanism used by many angiosperms that are carried into the tropical Atlantic from the Congo River, and which potentially can traverse the Atlantic in as little as 2 weeks (Renner, 2004).”
Testing Hypotheses on Species Delimitations and Disjunctions in the Liverwort Bryopteris (Jungermanniopsida: Lejeuneaceae) (2006, background): “Molecular data have already provided evidence for long-distance dispersal as an explanation for African-American ranges of angiosperms, ferns, and bryophytes (e.g., Givnish et al. 2004; Renner 2004; Heinrichs et al. 2005b; Kreier and Schneider 2006).”
SUPPLY‐SIDE ECOLOGY IN MANGROVES: DO PROPAGULE DISPERSAL AND SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT EXPLAIN FOREST STRUCTURE? (2007, background): “…been important in shaping biogeographic patterns of mangrove distribution, species diversity, and evolution (Ricklefs and Latham 1993, Duke 1995, Duke et al. WAYNE P. SOUSA ET AL.70 Ecological Monographs Vol. 77, No. 1 1998b, 2002, Ellison et al. 1999, Cain et al. 2000, Ellison 2002, Renner 2004).”
Neotropical Plant Evolution: Assembling the Big Picture (2013, background): “, 2012) and at least 15–17 in Solanaceae, five or six in Bignoniaceae and six in Verbenaceae (Olmstead, 2012; Christenhusz & Chase 2012), adding to the now overwhelming evidence that intercontinental dispersal is commonplace among flowering plants (e.g. Pennington et al., 2004b; Lavin et al., 2004; ”
Biogeographical patterns of plants in the Neotropics – dispersal rather than plate tectonics is most explanatory (2013, background): “We can now state without hesitation that the flora of the Neotropics, and of the Americas in general, has many more shared relationships with the Palaeotropics than ever before imagined (Pennington & Dick, 2004; Pennington, Cronk & Richardson, 2004; Renner, 2004; Sanmartín & Ronquist, 2004; Sanmartí”
Historical Biogeography: Evolution in Time and Space (2012, background): “Many recent molecular studies have used this correlation to discriminate between dispersal and vicariance explanations and to show that dispersal had a larger role in generating distribution patterns than traditionally assumed (Renner 2004; Sanmartín and Ronquist 2004; Cook and Crisp 2005; de Queiro”
Inferring dispersal: a Bayesian approach to phylogeny‐based island biogeography, with special reference to the Canary Islands (2008, background): “Many plant and animal lineages, whose distributions were originally explained by vicariance, appear to be too young to have been affected by the postulated geological events, suggesting their current distribution patterns are the result of dispersal (e.g. Baum et al., 1998; Waters et al., 2000; Coop”
Paleogeography of the South Atlantic: a Route for Primates and Rodents into the New World? (2009, background): “Some plants, freshwater fishes (cichlids and aplocheiloids), birds (parrots) and lizards (geckos) appear to have followed a post-Gondwanan dispersal pattern across the South Atlantic (Briggs 2003; Renner 2004; de Queiroz 2005).”
Vicariance or long‐distance dispersal: historical biogeography of the pantropical subfamily Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae) (2011, background): “Several similar cases of transatlantic dispersal were summarized by Renner (2004), who also suggested possible mechanisms for these events.”
Clades, Clocks, and Continents: Historical and Biogeographical Analysis of Myrtaceae, Vochysiaceae, and Relatives in the Southern Hemisphere (2004, background): “The relationships among these families of tropical South America and west Africa have been the subject of much systematic and biogeographic discussion before any recent sequence-based biogeographical analyses (Thorne 1972, 1973; Brenan 1978; Goldblatt 1978, 1993; Renner 2004).”
New insights into New World biogeography: An integrated view from the phylogeny of blackbirds, cardinals, sparrows, tanagers, warblers, and allies (2015, background): “Thus, repeated cycles of colonization, isolation, specialization, and extinction have shaped modern emberizoid diversity in the Caribbean basin (Ricklefs and Cox 1972, Ricklefs and Bermingham 1999, 2001, 2007, Ricklefs 2010).”
Why are there so many plant species in the Neotropics (2011, background): “The development and increased use of molecular dating techniques has indicated that long-distance dispersals have occurred much more often among plants than once thought (Renner, 2004, 2005; Queiroz, 2005).”
Spatial Scales of Pollen and Seed-Mediated Gene Flow in Tropical Rain Forest Trees (2008, background): “events that result in the expansion of geographic ranges [94, 104].”
The resurrection of oceanic dispersal in historical biogeography. (2005, background): “For example, some recent studies have emphasized factors, such as prevailing winds and ocean currents, that bias the direction of dispersal [8,11,44, 45 ].”
The evolution of African plant diversity (2014, background): “Connections across the Atlantic Ocean have generally be regarded to be the result of long distance dispersal by wind or ocean current, and here, too, many disjunctions have been documented (Thorne, 1973; Renner, 2004).”
