A macroecological perspective of diversity patterns in the freshwater realm (2011, background): “These absent or reversed latitudinal gradients may be related to the Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls that are pervasive at low latitudes (Whittaker et al., 2005; Bini et al., 2006).”
Conservation biogeography of freshwater fishes: recent progress and future challenges (2010, background): “These issues include deficient taxonomic (the Linnean shortfall) and geographic data (the Wallacean shortfall) required to support applied research (Bini et al., 2006), the need to establish a global information system to support data integration and sharing among researchers and conservation…”
Seven Shortfalls that Beset Large-Scale Knowledge of Biodiversity (2015, background): “This may be the most studied bias in biodiversity data and involves several syndromes caused by the behavior of researchers (Sastre & Lobo 2009) and historical patterns of colonization and inventorying (Bini et al. 2006, Meyer et al. 2015).”
Estimating patterns of reptile biodiversity in remote regions (2013, background): “Our improved estimates of species richness can be integrated with the available information on endemism and threat, to identify regions where new protected areas may be required, despite biodiversity data remaining scarce (Hughes et al., 2002; Bini et al., 2006; Rondinini et al., 2006).”
Unprotecting the rare species: a niche‐based gap analysis for odonates in a core Cerrado area (2011, background): “These results highlight the extent of the Wallacean shortfall (Bini et al., 2006; Brown & Lomolino, 2008) and support the plea for augmenting the quantity and quality of biogeographical data for conservation purposes (Gaston & Rodrigues, 2003; Hortal & Lobo, 2005; Romo et al.”
Species delimitation, patterns of diversification and historical biogeography of the Neotropical frog genus Adenomera (Anura, Leptodactylidae) (2014, background): “…2007). ª 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/jbi 855 doi:10.1111/jbi.12250 Basic understanding of biodiversity patterns are, however, necessary to investigate ecosystem functioning and to underpin conservation efforts (Sites & Marshall, 2003, 2004; Bini et al., 2006).”
Predicting species distributions from herbarium collections: does climate bias in collection sampling influence model outcomes? (2007, background): “…models have become a powerful tool to predict the area of occupancy for particular species given the limited information available on occurrence for most taxa (e.g. da Fonseca et al., 2000; Godown & Peterson, 2000; Sánchez-Cordero & Martı́nez-Meyer, 2000; Austin, 2002; Bini et al., 2006).”
The strong influence of collection bias on biodiversity knowledge shortfalls of Brazilian terrestrial biodiversity (2016, result): “We follow other studies (Bini et al., 2006; Reeder et al., 2007; Brito, 2010) and consider that less sampled sites that have greater difference in species composition, compared to better sampled sites, should harbour more undescribed species.”
