Phylogeny and biogeography in Solanaceae, Verbenaceae and Bignoniaceae: a comparison of continental and intercontinental diversification patterns (2013, background): “An earlier connection, if confirmed, would require re-evaluation of classic explanations for mammal (Simpson, 1980; Marshall et al., 1982) and, more recently, bird (Smith & Klicka, 2010) distributions, which have been linked to the more recent date.”
Testing geological models of evolution of the Isthmus of Panama in a phylogenetic framework (2013, unknown): “Bacon, C. Jaramillo & A. Antonelli, unpubl. data, but see Lessios, 2008; Weir et al., 2009; Cody et al ., 2010; Smith & Klicka, 2010).”
Why are there so many plant species in the Neotropics (2011, background): “This event, known as the “Great American Biotic Interchange” (GABI), has been originally documented for mammals (Stehli & Webb, 1985), but recently its role has been investigated in other taxa through meta-analyses of dated phylogenies (Weir & al., 2009; Cody & al., 2010; Smith & Klicka, 2010).”
Phylogeny and comparative phylogeography of Sclerurus (Aves: Furnariidae) reveal constant and cryptic diversification in an old radiation of rain forest understorey specialists (2013, background): “Differences in divergence times across the isthmus have also been observed in other terrestrial organisms (Koepfi et al., 2007; Cody et al., 2010; Smith & Klicka, 2010; Johnson & Weckstein, 2011).”
