Which function describes the species–area relationship best? A review and empirical evaluation (2009, background): “It is often claimed that SARs of different kinds should approach an upper asymptote for large areas (general: Connor & McCoy, 1979; Williams, 1995; He & Legendre, 1996; Tjørve, 2003; type A: Cain, 1938; Tüxen, 1970; Mueller-Dombois & Ellenberg, 1974; Schmitt, 1999; type C: Lomolino, 2000, 2001).”
Biodiversity on urban roundabouts—Hemiptera, management and the species–area relationship (2004, background): “…by the frequency of cutting, are consistent with the small island effect: a pattern in which significant species–area relationships do not occur for smaller islands due to local stochastic factors being more important than area related factors (Lomolino, 2000, 2001; Lomolino & Weiser, 2001).”
Using the Species-Area Relationship to Set Baseline Targets for Conservation (2004, background): “Patterns in the SAR are well explored in the ecological literature across a range of spatial and temporal scales (Rosenzweig 1995, Lomolino 2000, Knowles 2001, Lomolino and Weiser 2001, Collins et al. 2002, Haila 2002).”
The island species–area relationship: biology and statistics (2012, background): “…of species diversity (Williams, 1943; Preston, 1962; MacArthur & Wilson, 1967; McGuiness, 1984; Holt et al., 1999; Rosenzweig, 1995; Hubbell, 2001; Lomolino, 2001; Azovsky, 2002; Martin & Goldenfeld, 2006; Triantis et al., 2008a, 2010; Dengler, 2009; Harte et al., 2009; Tjørve, 2009; Williams et…”
Strong and weak tests of macroecological theory (2003, background): “For example it has been suggested that SPARs should really be logarithmic, sigmoidal, or asymptotic (such as the Michaelis‐Menton) instead of the power law (Connor and McCoy 1979, Sugihara 1981, Connor et al. 1983, Williams 1995, Lomolino 2000, 2002, Lomolino and Weiser 2001, Williamson et al. 200”
Effects of tropical forest fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in a land-bridge island system. (2010, background): “…the presence of the small island effect; a phenomenon that may become apparent in islets with the size range of our sites and where vegetation that is subjected to episodic disturbances is not able to support the level of resources that would be predicted by their size (Lomolino and Weiser, 2001).”
The island rule and a research agenda for studying ecogeographical patterns (2006, background): “Nonlinear relationships, however, are quiet common in ecology and biogeography, thus our studies need to be informed by theory (particularly the predicted nature of response curves that may, for example, assume polytonic, sigmoidal or asymptotic relationships; or those that include thresholds markin”
Scale and species richness: towards a general, hierarchical theory of species diversity (2001, background): “Accordingly, some authors have adopted the term species density for the number of species sampled in a standardized sample unit, e.g. per unit area (e.g. Whittaker, 1975; Lomolino, 2001).”
Environmental correlates of plant and invertebrate species richness in ponds (2011, background): “However, an alternative explanation might involve the small island effect (SIE, Lomolino 2000; Lomolino and Weiser 2001) where species-area relationships break down at small island sizes.”
