Continental‐scale spatial phylogenetics of Australian angiosperms provides insights into ecology, evolution and conservation (2016, background): “The monsoonal area of Australia, in particular the Kimberley and the Top End, have been identified as having high diversity and endemism for mammals, reptiles and birds (Woinarski, 1992; Potter et al., 2012), as well as plants (Bowman et al., 2010).”
Decline of a biome: evolution, contraction, fragmentation, extinction and invasion of the Australian mesic zone biota (2011, unknown): “The biogeographical and environmental history of these latter regions have been reviewed recently by Byrne et al. (2008) and Bowman et al. (2010), respectively.”
Spatial patterns and temporal dynamics in savanna vegetation phenology across the North Australian Tropical Transect (2013, background): “There is mounting evidence that savanna systems will be substantially modified by climate change (Scholes & Archer, 1997; Scholes & Parsons, 1997; Bowman et al. 2010; Bowman, Murphy, & Banfai, 2010; Hill & Hanan, 2013), yet there is a lack of knowledge and insufficient data to predict the nature of ”
The Sahul–Sunda floristic exchange: dated molecular phylogenies document Cenozoic intercontinental dispersal dynamics (2015, background): “During the more favourable warm, wet phases, expansion of rain forest habitat and the opening of new niches (and the onset of monsoon tropical habitat; Bowman et al., 2009) provided opportunities for the establishment and radiation of immigrant lineages (Rossetto et al.”
Flammable biomes dominated by eucalypts originated at the Cretaceous-Palaeogene boundary. (2011, unknown): “However, we found no support for the hypothesis that this new environment (with its more frequent but less intense fire”
Stemming the tide: progress towards resolving the causes of decline and implementing management responses for the disappearing mammal fauna of northern Australia (2015, unknown): “The monsoonal influence has been long-standing (Bowman et al. 2010).”
