Deep genealogies and the mid‐peninsular seaway of Baja California

Lindell, Johan; Ngo, Andre; Murphy, Robert W.

2006 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2006.01532.x

Geological forces and long‐term climate changes can have profound effects on species. Such effects may be manifested in the pattern and magnitude of genealogical diversity, as revealed by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages. The relative importance of the different forces on a regional biota must...

Tree species composition and diversity gradients in white‐water forests across the Amazon Basin

Wittmann, Florian; Schöngart, Jochen; Montero, Juan Carlos; Motzer, Thomas; Junk, Wolfgang J.;

2006 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2006.01495.x

Aim Attention has increasingly been focused on the floristic variation within forests of the Amazon Basin. Variations in species composition and diversity are poorly understood, especially in Amazonian floodplain forests. We investigated tree species composition, richness and α diversity in the...

Effects of position, understorey vegetation and coarse woody debris on tree regeneration in two environmentally contrasting forests of north‐western Patagonia: a manipulative approach

Heinemann, Karin; Kitzberger, Thomas

2006 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2006.01511.x

Aim To investigate the differential effects of position within gaps, coarse woody debris and understorey cover on tree seedling survival in canopy gaps in two old‐growth Nothofagus pumilio (Poepp. & Endl.) Krasser forests and the response of this species to gaps in two forests located at opposite...

Forest ecosystems of an Arizona Pinus ponderosa landscape: multifactor classification and implications for ecological restoration

Abella, Scott R.; Covington, W. Wallace

2006 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2006.01513.x

Aim We developed an ecosystem classification within a 110,000‐ha Arizona Pinus ponderosa P. & C. Lawson (ponderosa pine) landscape to support ecological restoration of these forests. Specific objectives included identifying key environmental variables constraining ecosystem distribution and...

Spatial variation of climatic and non‐climatic controls on species distribution: the range limit of Tsuga heterophylla

Gavin, Daniel G.; Hu, Feng Sheng

2006 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2006.01509.x

Aim To assess which climatic variables control the distribution of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), how climatic controls vary over latitude and between disjunct coastal and interior sub‐distributions, and whether non‐climatic factors, such as dispersal limitation and interspecific...

Influences of infrequent fire, elevation and pre‐fire vegetation on the persistence of quaking aspen ( Populus tremuloides Michx.) in the Flat Tops area, Colorado, USA

Kulakowski, Dominik; Veblen, Thomas T.; Kurzel, Brian P.

2006 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2006.01529.x

Aim The recent concern that quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) has been declining in parts of western North America due to fire suppression is largely based on trends during the latter part of the 20th century. The aim of the current study was to compare the extent of aspen in the modern...

Historical biogeography of some river basins in central Mexico evidenced by their goodeine freshwater fishes: a preliminary hypothesis using secondary Brooks parsimony analysis

Domínguez‐Domínguez, Omar; Doadrio, Ignacio; Pérez‐Ponce de León, Gerardo

2006 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2006.01526.x

Aims Our aim was to uncover and describe patterns of historical biogeography of the main river basins in central Mexico, based on a secondary Brooks parsimony analysis (BPA) of goodeine fishes, and to understand the processes that determine them with respect to the molecular clock of the...
