Biome Shifts and Niche Evolution in Plants (2014, neutral): “Instead, the number of shifts probably better reflects the greater continuity of tropical and temperate systems in Asia as compared with the New World (Latham & Ricklefs 1993, Qian & Ricklefs 2000, Donoghue 2008).”
A framework for delineating biogeographical regions based on species distributions (2010, background): “…patterns as a way to capture regional idiosyncrasies and historical contingencies above and beyond present-day environmental correlates (Qian & Ricklefs, 2000; Hawkins et al., 2003; Beck et al., 2006a; Buckley & Jetz, 2007; Davies et al., 2007; Kreft & Jetz, 2007; Hortal et al., 2008).”
Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation (Forthcoming) (2016, neutral): “5; Qian & Ricklefs, 2000; Cadena et al., 2012; Gillespie & Roderick, 2014) similar to those reported for oceanic island archipelagos (Ricklefs & Bermingham, 2007).”
Centres of plant endemism in China: places for survival or for speciation? (2011, neutral): “The progressive Cenozoic global cooling that was accentuated from the middle Miocene and extended into the Pliocene and Pleistocene periods (Zachos et al., 2001) produced numerous extinctions of plant lineages (Tiffney, 1985; Axelrod et al., 1996; Qian & Ricklefs, 2000).”
Molecular Systematics of the Freshwater Prawn Genus Macrobrachium Bate, 1868 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Palaemonidae) Inferred from mtDNA Sequences, with Emphasis on East Asian Species (2007, background): “This region exhibits high species diversity of plant taxa (Guo et al. 1998, Qian and Ricklef 2000 ), and its freshwater fish fauna also represents one of the richest ichthyofaunas in the Sino-Indian region (Koltelat 1989, Banarescu 1990).”
Glacial expansion and diversification of an East Asian montane bird, the green‐backed tit (Parus monticolus) (2013, background): “…taxa, there has been relatively little work focused on other parts of the world, such as East Asia (Beheregaray, 2008), although East Asia is an important biogeographical area, with high species diversity (Myers et al., 2000; Qian & Ricklefs, 2000) and many endemic species (Lei et al., 2003).”
Evolution of Eastern Asian–Eastern North American Biogeographic Disjunctions: A Few Additional Issues (2001, background): “…received much attention in the past few years from systematists and ecologists (Li and Adair 1997; Cameron and Chase 1999; Guo 1999; Qian 1999; Wen 1999, 2000; Gould and Donoghue 2000; Hao et al. 2000; Li et al. 2000; Qian and Ricklefs 2000; Wu et al. 2000; Xiang et al. 2000; Mueller et al. 2001).”
OCBIL theory: towards an integrated understanding of the evolution, ecology and conservation of biodiversity on old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (2009, background): “I am grateful for invitations to deliver addresses on these ideas subsequently in 2007 at the 3rd Global Botanic Gardens Congress in Wuhan, China, at the Linnean Society’s Tercentenary celebratory conference in London on Unlocking the Past— Linnaean Collections past, present and future, at The Botan”
PRODUCTIVITY AND HISTORY AS PREDICTORS OF THE LATITUDINAL DIVERSITY GRADIENT OF TERRESTRIAL BIRDS (2003, background): “…1998, Guégan et al. 1998, O’Brien 1998), whereas others maintain that long-term historical differences based on differential speciation or extinction rates, coupled with dispersal limitation, are more important (Pianka 1989, Latham and Ricklefs 1993, McGlone 1996, Qian and Ricklefs 1999, 2000).”
Heterogeneity, speciation/extinction history and climate: explaining regional plant diversity patterns in the Cape Floristic Region (2002, background): “…1987; O’Brien, 1998), as well as those that emphasize historical factors, which have produced differences in speciation and extinction rates (Whittaker, 1977; Latham & Ricklefs, 1993; Ricklefs & Schluter, 1993; McGlone, 1996; Cowling et al., 1997; Dynesius & Jansson, 2000; Qian & Ricklefs, 2000).”
Recent assembly of the Cerrado, a neotropical plant diversity hotspot, by in situ evolution of adaptations to fire (2009, background): “These contrasting scenarios suggest that the origins of species-rich biomes and underlying causes of high species diversity can be highly idiosyncratic, driven as much by unique features of regional- and continental-scale history and physiography as by any more universal ecological processes at more”
Geographical distribution and ecological conservatism of disjunct genera of vascular plants in eastern Asia and eastern North America (2004, background): “Most are temperate, but several have distribution ranges that extend into tropical areas of the two continents (Li 1952; Qian & Ricklefs 2000; see Appendix S1 in Supplementary Material).”
Deterministic Plio‐Pleistocene extinctions in the European cool‐temperate tree flora (2003, neutral): “The diversity differences cannot be explained by modern climate (Latham & Ricklefs 1993b; Ricklefs & Latham 1999), but reflect differential rates of extinction, speciation and immigration (Latham & Ricklefs 1993a,b; Ricklefs & Latham 1999; Wen 1999; Qian & Ricklefs 2000).”
Environment–richness relationships for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians at global and regional scales (2010, background): “…IL 62703, USA E-mail: hqian@museum.state.il.us 2007), as have variables less associated with contemporary physical factors than with historical events more directly associated with rates of speciation, extinction, and dispersal (Latham and Ricklefs 1993; Qian and Ricklefs 1999, 2000; Qian 2008).”
