• Spatial species‐richness gradients across scales: a meta‐analysis (2009, methodology): “…climate/productivity was primary would produce strong plant richness–animal richness correlations if examined using methods similar to those used by Andrews & O’Brien (2000) and Kissling et al. (2007, 2008), so classifying the primary effect as either climate/productivity or biotic interactions…”
• Climatic determinants of diet and foraging behaviour in baboons (2004, background): “(O’Brien, 1993), mammal richness is therefore an indirect function of climate (Andrews and O’Brien, 2000).”
• The evolution of arid ecosystems in eastern Africa (2006, background): “Large mammals are not necessarily indicative of open environments (Andrews and O’Brien, 2000), but their activities contribute to the creation and expansion of mosaic habitats that include open conditions (Owen-Smith, 1988; Belsky, 1995).”
• Climate‐based models of spatial patterns of species richness in Egypt’s butterfly and mammal fauna (2009, background): “However, to date very few studies have investigated correlates of mammal and butterfly species richness in an arid environment (but for mammals see Andrews & O’Brien, 2000).”
• Ecological biogeography of North American mammals: species density and ecological structure in relation to environmental gradients (2000, background): “Andrews & O’Brien (2000) found similar relationships to those reported here between seasonality of temperature and topographical relief with mammalian species richness of southern Africa; different ecological guilds of South African mammals were strongly correlated with different environmental…”
• Scale and species richness: towards a general, hierarchical theory of species diversity (2001, methodology): “…be any studies of richness patterns based on all native species (e.g. of birds, or mammals, or woody plants), using grid cell systems wherein the presence of a species in a cell in the data set is based on ®rm evidence that it actually occurs there (e.g. O'Brien, 1993; Andrews & O'Brien, 2000).”
