The spectre of biogeographical regionalization (2018, methodology): “When applying a cluster analysis, transition zones may be identified when regions have unstable positions between different clustering methods or different taxa (Proches , 2005) or there are high levels of species turnover (Linder et al., 2014).”
Patterns of tree species composition across tropical African forests (2014, background): “…1983) recognized the uplands around Lake Victoria as a separate transitional unit, we identified a major floristic discontinuity in the Albertine Rift similar to the biogeographical regions based on the combined analysis of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and plants (Linder et al., 2012).”
Next-generation dynamic global vegetation models: learning from community ecology. (2013, background): “In such models, the focus is therefore on modelling the ecosystem engineering and ecosystem modulating impacts of plants on their environment, which feeds back to influence the performance of competitors (Jones et al., 1994; Linder et al., 2012).”
Beyond trees: Biogeographical regionalization of tropical Africa (2018, methodology): “7), an issue already highlighted by White (1981) and Linder et al. (2005, 2012).”
The evolution of African plant diversity (2014, background): “This could be especially important in floras which are disjunct, and/or which have at least some allopatric species replacement [e.g., in the Tropic-montane Flora (Linder et al., 2012b), the Lowland forest Flora (Faden, 1974), or the Cape flora (Weimarck, 1941)].”
Protected areas network is not adequate to protect a critically endangered East Africa Chelonian: Modelling distribution of pancake tortoise, Malacochersus tornieri under current and future climates (2020, methodology): “87 million km(2) of arid savannah, extending from north-eastern Somalia to the north-eastern province of Kenya and reaching south through Tanzania into the valley of the Great Ruaha; it ends north of Lake Malawi [22, 46, 47].”
Neotropical Plant Evolution: Assembling the Big Picture (2013, background): “Extensive georeferenced specimen datasets can now be subjected to cluster and classification analyses to establish common biogeographic regionalisations for diverse groups at a continental scale (e.g. Kreft & Jetz 2010; Linder et al., 2012).”
