Why are there so many plant species in the Neotropics (2011, background): “6 makes evident that both the “Gonwana” and “Pleistocene” hypotheses may be discarded as the major causes of Neotropical biodiversity: (1) prior to the separation of Africa and South America, no modern Neotropical clades (of the ones analysed here) existed (i.e., no most recent common ancestors can ”
Unexpected biodiversity loss under global warming in the neotropical Guayana Highlands: a preliminary appraisal (2006, background): “Such extinctions are most probably irreversible because of the lack of source areas, i.e. terrains higher than 3000 m altitude, able to preserve populations and provide propagules for recolonization (Rull, 2005b).”
Ecology and evolution of plant diversity in the endangered campo rupestre: a neglected conservation priority (2015, background): “…evidence from niche modelling, dated phylogenies and comparative phylogeography of the campo rupestre flora is required to better explore the contention that the campo rupestre acted as interglacial refugia (Bonatelli et al. 2014; Barbosa et al. 2015), as was the case for the tepuis (Rull 2005).”
