Phylogeny, ecology, and the origins of climate-richness relationships (2012, background): “Across many plant and animal taxa, patterns of species richness are often correlated with spatial variation in climatic conditions (e.g., Waide et al. 1999, Francis and Currie 2003, Hawkins et al. 2003, Willig et al. 2003, Buckley and Jetz 2007, McCain 2010).”
Explaining the species richness of birds along a subtropical elevational gradient in the Hengduan Mountains (2013, background): “, 2013), birds (Kattan & Franco, 2004; McCain, 2010) and reptiles (Fu et al., 2007; McCain, 2010).”
Elevational Gradients in Species Richness (2010, background): “Birds and reptiles displayed all four common patterns of elevational species richness – evenly for birds (McCain, 2009), and with a predominance of decreasing patterns for reptiles (McCain, 2010).”
Elevational species richness gradients in a hyperdiverse insect taxon: a global meta-study on geometrid moths (2017, background): “For example, temperature was found to be a strong predictor of elevational richness patterns in reptiles (McCain, 2010), and studies on hymenopteran insects highlighted the link between temperature and foraging activity along elevational gradients (Sanders et al.”
