A Bibliography for the Madrean Sky Islands

Compiled by Wendy Moore and Richard C. Brusca Vers. 19 June 2016

NOTE: This bibliography is not meant to be comprehensive; in fact, it only scratches the surface of a vast literature. Southwestern rangeland research alone is a huge field with thousands of research papers and books, as is Southwestern climate research. Nevertheless, this bibliography should provide an entry into the key literature for the Sky Island Region. We generally do not include desert papers (aside from some classics or benchmark works), instead focusing on montane (above 4000 ft) research. With few exceptions, papers in compiled/edited volumes are not cited separately in this list. For a list of publications based out of the American Museum of Natural History’s Southwestern Research Station (in the Chiricahua Mountains) visit www.research.amnh.org/swrs/researcher/publications and for a list of their staff publications visit http://www.amnh.org/our-research/center-for-biodiversity-conservation/publications/all-staff-publications Abbott, L.B., and T.
