Phylogeny, ecology, and the origins of climate-richness relationships (2012, background): “Some evidence from other systems suggests that climate may indeed influence diversification rates (e.g., Jansson and Davies 2008, Svenning et al. 2008).”
The Canaries: an important biogeographical meeting place (2008, background): “However, of all of the papers in the Special Issue, perhaps the most important message for the biogeographical community is to be found in Ladle’s (2008) critique of the public representation of biogeography.”
The influence of paleoclimate on present-day patterns in biodiversity and ecosystems (2015, background): “…to modern environments may themselves also include a paleoclimatic signal as geographic and topographic climate configurations themselves have long histories (cf. Ruddiman 2014), as discussed in several studies (Lobo et al. 2001, Svenning & Skov 2007, Svenning et al. 2008a, Wiens & Donoghue 2004).”
Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. I. Historical biogeography (2013, background): “Palms (Arecaceae/Palmae) are a model plant family for evolutionary and ecological studies in the tropics (Svenning et al., 2008; Couvreur et al., 2011a; Kissling et al., 2012a).”
Measuring biodiversity to explain community assembly: a unified approach (2011, background): “…acceleration in speciation due to metabolic activation or a greater climatic zonation on tropical mountain slopes providing opportunities for geographic isolation (Ricklefs, 2006; Kozak & Wiens, 2007; Svenning et al., 2008); see Mittelbach et al. (2007) for a review of other potential mechanisms.”
Species Diversity and Growth Forms in Tropical American Palm Communities (2011, background): “Svenning et al. (2008) explained the high regional richness of palms at low latitudes with an elevated diversification rate in warm, wet and long-term stable climates.”
Species richness and evolutionary speed: the influence of temperature, water and area (2014, background): “Using this technique, negative relationships between latitude and net diversification rates have been found for birds (Cardillo et al., 2005; Ricklefs, 2005, 2006), New World palms (Svenning et al., 2008), squamate reptiles (Ricklefs et al., 2007) and amphibians (Wiens, 2007).”
