Species‐energy relationships at the macroecological scale: a review of the mechanisms (2005, background): “Many species’ tolerances seem to exceed the conditions that they experience, suggesting that nonclimatic factors influence range boundaries (Carter & Prince, 1981; Spicer & Gaston, 1999; Gaston, 2003).”
Testing the thermal melanism hypothesis: a macrophysiological approach (2008, background): “Indeed, Spicer & Gaston (1999) have argued that among the strongest evidence for adaptive physiological variation is similar findings at several hierarchical levels (e.g. among individuals, among populations and among species).”
Thermal tolerance, climatic variability and latitude (2000, background): “Although there is substantial evidence in support of the former assumption (Stevens 1989, 1992; Gaston & Chown 1999a), the latter has seldom been assessed (Gaston et al. 1998; Spicer & Gaston 1999).”
Macrophysiology: large‐scale patterns in physiological traits and their ecological implications (2004, background): “This integration has provided significant insights into the evolution of diversity and its probable future responses to change (reviews in Spicer & Gaston 1999; Feder et al .”
Dispersal ability rather than ecological tolerance drives differences in range size between lentic and lotic water beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) (2012, background): “Although niches are multidimensional, an organism’s thermal physiology can be seen as a critical aspect of its fundamental niche (Spicer & Gaston, 1999), and, indeed, environmental temperatures have long been seen as critical in shaping species distributions (e.g. Andrewartha & Birch, 1954;…”
Are mountain passes higher in the tropics? Janzen's hypothesis revisited. (2006, background): “How climate shapes variation in the physiology, ecology, and evolution of organisms is a fundamental issue for organismal biologists (Dobzhansky, 1950; Andrewartha and Birch, 1954; Pianka, 1966; MacArthur, 1972; Brown et al. , 1996; Spicer and Gaston, 1999; Chown et al. , 2004 a ).”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, neutral): “…2003; Blanckenhorn & Demont, 2004; Litzgus et al., 2004; Meiri et al., 2004a; Blanckenhorn et al., 2006; Yom-Tov & Geffen, 2006), physiology (e.g. Spicer & Gaston, 1999; Hoffmann et al., 2001; Klok & Chown, 2003; Lardies & Bozinovic, 2006), life history (e.g. Fleming & Gross, 1990; Jonas &…”
An introduction to Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) models with special emphasis on parameter estimation (2006, neutral): “Knowledge of the basic DEB (compound) parameters over a wide range of species opens opportunities towards a more quantitative understanding of the broad patterns in physiological diversity, for example in terms of phylogenetic relatedness and ecology (Spicer and Gaston, 1999).”
