• Woody Plant Diversity, Evolution, and Ecology in the Tropics: Perspectives from Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (2009, background): “The high β diversity among SDTF nuclei or sample sites stands in contrast to the original emphasis placed on widespread SDTF species by researchers originally circumscribing this forest type (Gentry 1995, Pennington et al. 2000, Prado & Gibbs 1993).”
• Deciphering the products of evolution at the species level: the need for an integrative taxonomy (2009, background): “The complex Andean orography and intense orogeny (GregoryWodzicki 2000), together with recent climatic changes (Pennington et al. 2001; Killeen et al. 2007), might have contributed to reductions in range size and effective population sizes leading to higher amount of genetic differentiation in the…”
• Neotropical Plant Evolution: Assembling the Big Picture (2013, background): “Like SDTFs, Neotropical savannas are under seasonal rainfall conditions, with at least five to six months receiving 100 mm (Pennington et al., 2000).”
• A Phytogeographical Metaanalysis of the Semiarid Caatinga Domain in Brazil (2016, background): “SDTFs usually have fertile soils and are home to plants lacking adaptation to survive wildfires, as well as a wealth of succulent plant taxa, such as Cactaceae (Bullock et al., 1995; Sampaio, 1995; Pennington et al., 2000, 2006; Oliveira-Filho et al., 2013).”
• The diversification of eastern South American open vegetation biomes: Historical biogeography and perspectives (2011, background): “Notwithstanding these distinct patterns documented for the diversification and fragmentation of SDTFs, they have been largely ignored in discussions regarding Quaternary vegetation cycles and their consequences (Pennington et al., 2000).”
• What Limits Trees in C4 Grasslands and Savannas (2008, background): “They coalesce to form tropical forests at the wet end of the MAP gradient, and thickets at the dry end (e.g., South American Chaco and Caatinga, Pennington et al. 2000; African and Madagascan thickets, White 1983).”
• Phylogeography and climatic niche evolution in live oaks (Quercus series Virentes) from the tropics to the temperate zone (2011, background): “…(1975) hypothesized that intervals of warming and increased precipitation caused both an expansion of the rain forest and range retraction of a previously broader distribution of Q. oleoides-dominated communities; this general scenario is supported by more recent evidence (Pennington et al., 2000).”
• Variation of seed dispersal spectrum of woody plants across a rainfall gradient in north-eastern Brazil (2003, background): “Among them, at least 57 species are widely distributed among the neotropical dry forests (Pennington et al., 2000).”
• Plant diversity and endemism in sub‐Saharan tropical Africa (2001, background): “The existence of refugia in the Amazon basin (Haffer, 1969) has attracted much criticism (Lynch, 1988; Colinvaux, 1989; Nelson et al., 1990; but see Pennington et al., 2000), while African refugia appear to have been accepted (FjeldsaÊ & Lovett, 1997b6 ).”
• The lizard assemblage from Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest enclaves in the Cerrado biome, Brazil, and its association with the Pleistocenic Arc (2006, background): “However, these studies were primarily based on plant distributions (Pennington et al., 2000; Felfili, 2003), with a few including bird distributions (Silva, 1995a,b; Porzecanski & Cracraft, 2005).”
• What do we mean by 'refugia'? (2008, background): “Disjunct seasonally dry forests of eastern South America have been treated as remnants of a more extensive seasonal formation that was at its maximum extent during the LGM (Prado and Gibbs, 1993; Pennington et al., 2000).”
