The problem of pattern and scale in ecology: what have we learned in 20 years? (2013, background): “In a fascinating study of the marine bivalve fossil record, Jablonski et al. (2006) reported the time of first occurrence of bivalve lineages, and they showed that the vast majority of these lineages had originated in the tropics (in spite of the strong sampling bias towards temperate zones).”
Climatic control of dispersal–ecological specialization trade‐offs: a metacommunity process at the heart of the latitudinal diversity gradient? (2010, background): “There is debate about whether the tropics should be viewed as evolutionary ‘cradles’ or ‘museums’ of diversity (e.g. Jablonski et al., 2006), or perhaps both at the same time (McKenna & Farrell, 2006).”
SCALE AND HIERARCHY IN MACROEVOLUTION (2007, background): “…diversity gradient, the most pervasive biological pattern in the global biota, appears to be shaped significantly by interregional dispersal, contrary to the widespread assumption that in situ diversification predominates (e.g. Jablonski 1993; Wiens and Donoghue 2004; Jablonski et al. 2006).”
Understanding global patterns in amphibian geographic range size: does Rapoport rule? (2012, background): “This complexity may help to explain why no single hypothesis for Rapoport’s rule has gained much traction, especially when seen in the light of the (comparatively) simplistic latitudinal diversity gradient and the heated debate surrounding its underlying processes (e.g. Rosenzweig, 1995; Jablonski e”
Beyond corals and fish: the effects of climate change on noncoral benthic invertebrates of tropical reefs (2008, background): “A climatechange-induced tropical diversity crisis would therefore have profound evolutionary effects at all latitudes (Jablonski et al., 2006).”
Life on a tropical planet: niche conservatism and the global diversity gradient (2013, background): “The tropics also hold greater variation in clade age, in accordance with a view that they may have acted as a ‘cradle’ of extant diversity (Jablonski et al., 2006; Mittelbach et al., 2007; Weir & Schluter, 2007).”
Late Permian (Lopingian) terrestrial ecosystems: A global comparison with new data from the low-latitude Bletterbach Biota (2017, background): “Studies on various taxa suggest that this dichotomy is likely an oversimplification, with the tropics having both cradle-like and museum-like aspects (e.g., Jablonski, 1993; McKenna and Farrell, 2006; Jablonski et al., 2006, 2013; Ricklefs, 2006; Diniz-Filho et al., 2007; Moreau and Bell, 2013).”
Seasonality, the latitudinal gradient of diversity, and Eocene insects (2010, background): “Higher tropical speciation is supported by vertebrate molecular data (Martin and McKay 2004) and some fossil evidence (Stehli et al. 1969; Hecht and Agan 1972; Crame 2000, 2002; Buzas et al. 2002; Jablonski et al. 2006; but see Leighton 2005).”
Diversity of the arctic deep-sea benthos (2011, background): “Evolutionary and ecological causes that have been proposed for these gradients focus primarily around energy and history (Rohde 1992; Jablonski et al. 2006).”
An Analysis of the History of Marine Animal Diversity (2007, background): “Shallow marine molluscan taxa tend to arise in the Tropics and then spread to higher latitudes (Jablonski et al. 2006).”
Different evolutionary histories underlie congruent species richness gradients of birds and mammals (2012, background): “, 2008), geographical variation in the timing of the origin and spread of clades (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Jablonski et al., 2006; Wiens et al., 2006, 2009; Krug et al., 2009) and variable diversification rates (Hawkins et al.”
Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography. (2007, background): “…tend to subsequently expand their geographical ranges into high latitudes without losing their tropical presence; such range expansions play an important role in determining the strength and nature of the present-day latitudinal diversity gradient (Goldberg et al. 2005; Jablonski et al. 2006).”
Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean (2014, background): “In the full development of the OTT model it is emphasised that the vast majority of those taxa expanding from the low- to high-latitudes maintain their tropical distributions and thus, in time, a diversity peak is developed (Jablonski et al. 2006).”
Incumbency, diversity, and latitudinal gradients (2008, background): “The marine LDG appears to be driven primarily by the origin of novel lineages in the Tropics, some of which then expand their ranges into higher, extratropical latitudes (see Jablonski 1993, 2005; Clark and Crame 2003; Goldberg et al. 2005; Jablonski et al. 2006; Martin et al. 2007).”
