Additive threats from pathogens, climate and land-use change for global amphibian diversity (2011, background): “and are often used to model amphibian species distributions and richnes”
Biotic interactions in species distribution modelling: 10 questions to guide interpretation and avoid false conclusions (2018, background): “…change, left detectable historical signals underlying contemporary distribution patterns of taxa with very different biology, such as trees, amphibians, dung beetles and dragonflies (Ara (cid:2) ujo et al., 2008; Hortal et al., 2011; Pinkert, Dijkstra, et al., 2017; Svenning & Skov, 2004).”
Latitudinal and Elevational Range Shifts under Contemporary Climate Change (2013, background): “lags between geographical range shifts and past climate changes have already been reported for plants and animals (Davis, 1986; Svenning and Skov, 2007; Araújo et al., 2008).”
Odd man out: why are there fewer plant species in African rain forests? (2014, background): “In contrast to the energy–diversity hypotheses, it has long been suggested that climate stability over time is a better predictor of species richness and endemicity (Araújo et al. 2008; Jansson and Dynesius 2002; McGlone 1996; Stropp et al. 2009; Wallace 1878).”
Areas of Climate Stability of Species Ranges in the Brazilian Cerrado: Disentangling Uncertainties Through Time (2012, methodology): “2012) involves the use of Ecological Niche Models (ENMs; also called Species Distribution Models – but see Araújo & Peterson (2012) and Peterson & Soberón (2012)).”
Three Continents Claiming an Archipelago: The Evolution of Aegean's Herpetofaunal Diversity (2010, background): “However, contemporary distributions have largely been shaped during the Quaternary, and more specifically, may be attributed to the climatic oscillations that occurred throughout its duration [66,67].”
Climatic niche conservatism and the evolutionary dynamics in species range boundaries: global congruence across mammals and amphibians (2011, background): “Araújo et al. (2008) argue that the scarcity of amphibian species further north may result from either dispersal limitation or stronger physiological constraints stemming from their being ectotherms.”
Partitioning the turnover and nestedness components of beta diversity (2010, background): “These patterns are not likely to be an exception, but are probably the rule for many taxa which have higher values of richness and endemism in southern Europe, for example trees (Svenning & Skov, 2007b) or herptiles (Araújo et al., 2008).”
Global patterns of amphibian phylogenetic diversity (2012, background): “These ideas have not been explicitly tested for amphibians, although their species richness patterns have been argued to depend on contemporary environment as well as on historical processes such as diversification or Quaternary climate change (Buckley & Jetz, 2007; Araújo et al., 2008).”
Refugia within refugia – patterns in endemism and genetic divergence are linked to Late Quaternary climate stability in the Iberian Peninsula (2014, methodology): “There is growing recognition of the relevance of Pleistocene climatic changes in structuring present diversity gradients at continental and global scales, such as species richness (Svenning & Skov, 2007; Araújo et al., 2008; Hortal et al., 2011), endemism (Jansson, 2003; Sandel et al.”
Latitudinal variation of diversity in European freshwater animals is not concordant across habitat types (2008, positive): “Furthermore, our analyses support previous studies which document that various European groups of plants and animals are not in equilibrium with current climate (Svenning & Skov, 2004; Araújo & Pearson, 2005; Araújo et al ., 2008).”
The influence of paleoclimate on present-day patterns in biodiversity and ecosystems (2015, background): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. across the Bering land bridge as well as climate-driven extirpations from Europe and western North America (Donoghue & Smith 2004).”
Phylogeny, ecology, and the origins of climate-richness relationships (2012, background): “…may have been inhabited longer than others because those climates are ancestral for the group (e.g., Ricklefs 2004, Wiens and Donoghue 2004), have occupied a greater proportion of the earth’s surface over time (e.g., Fine and Ree 2006), and/or have been more stable over time (Araújo et al. 2008).”
