Global patterns in the divergence between phylogenetic diversity and species richness in terrestrial birds (2017, background): “Species in mountain ranges at lower latitudes as the tropical Andes and the Afro and Sino 44 Himalayan montane regions, by contrast, are suggested to have undergone high rates of speciation 45 (Fjeldså et al., 2012).”
Building mountain biodiversity: Geological and evolutionary processes (2019, background): “The potential importance of mountain geology, including the mineralogical composition of substrates, has been highlighted in recent work (1, 2, 4).”
The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas (2015, background): “High diversification rates, which may be based on high speciation rates and/or low extinction rates, are expected in regions that are geologically dynamic, including regions with active orogeny (Linder, 2008; Badgley, 2010; Sedano & Burns, 2010; Sandel et al., 2011; Fjeldså et al., 2012; Hoorn et al”
Using functional and phylogenetic diversity to infer avian community assembly along elevational gradients (2019, positive): “Alternatively, if highland assemblages are mostly composed of lowland immigrants, as in the Himalayas (Päckert et al., 2012), a decay of MPD with elevation can also result from dif‐ ferences in the time of lineage arrival and priority effects (Fjeldså, Bowie, & Rahbek, 2012).”
Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation (Forthcoming) (2016, positive): “boost diversification in mountain ranges, where isolation is likely and the extinction risk low because 393 of low climate-change velocity (Sandel et al., 2011; Fjeldså et al., 2012).”
Mountains, climate and niche heterogeneity explain global patterns of fern diversity (2021, background): “The persistence of ancient groups on these and other islands (such as Madagascar) is likely aided by the thermal stability of insular systems and lower rates of biotic turnover (Cronk, 1997; Fjeldså et al., 2012).”
