Vulnerability of global biodiversity hotspots to climate change (2021, background): “Crucially, the effect of topography and climate on speciation rates has been found to be greater at low latitudes (Steinbauer et al., 2016), where the majority of biodiversity hotspots exist.”
A roadmap for island biology: 50 fundamental questions after 50 years of The Theory of Island Biogeography (2017, background): “…for island biodiversity patterns and processes (e.g. Carine, 2005; Dalsgaard et al., 2013; Ali & Aitchison, 2014; Rijsdijk et al., 2014; Avila et al., 2016; Borregaard et al., 2016; Fern andezPalacios, 2016; Fern andez-Palacios et al., 2016; Steinbauer et al., 2016a,b; Weigelt et al., 2016).”
Evolutionary history of the flora of Mexico: Dry forests cradles and museums of endemism (2018, background): “Furthermore, the presence of this superendemic area coincides with the findings of Steinbauer et al. (2016); they determined that endemism around the world consistently increased with elevation and suggested that isolation caused by topography maximizes speciation rates in the highlands, across all…”
