Direct long‐distance dispersal shapes a New World amphitropical disjunction in the dispersal‐limited dung moss Tetraplodon (Bryopsida: Splachnaceae) (2014, background): “Southernmost South American populations diverged from Laurasian populations 8.63 Ma (95% HPD 3.07–10.11 Ma), consistent with estimates for the origin of amphitropical disjunctions in seed plants (Wen & Ickert-Bond, 2009).”
Intercontinental disjunctions between eastern Asia and western North America in vascular plants highlight the biogeographic importance of the Bering land bridge from late Cretaceous to Neogene (2016, background): “The estimate in Rhodiola is apparently much more recent than the age of the Madrean-Tethyan elements (Axelrod, 1975; Wen & Ickert-Bond, 2009), thus does not support the vicariance via the North Atlantic land bridges as the explanation for the evolution of this disjunction.”
A reconstruction of Palaeo‐Macaronesia, with particular reference to the long‐term biogeography of the Atlantic island laurel forests (2011, background): “For example, very recently Wen & Ickert-Bond (2009) highlighted a role for trans-Atlantic long-distance dispersal, together with the North Atlantic migration route, in the origin of the Madrean–Tethyan disjunctions.”
