The biology and ecology of narrow endemic and widespread plants: a comparative study of trait variation in 20 congeneric pairs (2004, background): “The trend for endemic species to have a lower seed output has received wide support in comparative studies with widespread species (reviewed by Murray et al. 2002).”
Reproductive success and pollinator effectiveness differ in common and rare Persoonia species (Proteaceae) (2005, background): “There is growing evidence that common species are more fecund than rare species, with the majority of studies reviewed by Murray et al. (2002) supporting this trend (9 from 13 cited).”
Life‐history correlates of plant invasiveness at regional and continental scales (2005, background): “Lake & Leishman 2004), it is also possible that the spatial scales at which studies have been performed may explain inter-study variation in relationships between life-history and plant abundance (e.g. Murray et al. 2002a ).”
Mechanisms in macroecology: AWOL or purloined letter? Towards a pragmatic view of mechanism (2010, background): “Th is should be compared to other attempts to predict abundance in communities where the best r2’s are quite often in the 0.10– 0.20 range (Murray et al. 2002, Russo et al. 2003, McGill 2008).”
Analysing botanical collecting effort in Amazonia and correcting for it in species range estimation (2007, methodology): “However, some ecological and evolutionary questions require the simultaneous mechanistic analysis of the areas of distribution of a large number of species (examples of such analyses include Barraclough & Vogler, 2000; Ruokolainen & Vormisto, 2000; Barraclough & Nee, 2001; Holt et al., 2002; Murray ”
Species abundance distributions: moving beyond single prediction theories to integration within an ecological framework. (2007, background): “There has been a great deal of speculation about which species should be abundant (e.g. Rosenzweig & Lomolino 1997), but there has been comparatively little success to date in the empirical search for patterns (Murray et al. 1999, 2002).”
Do invasive species show higher phenotypic plasticity than native species and, if so, is it adaptive? A meta-analysis. (2011, background): “its success as an invader (Murray et al. 2002; van Kleunen & Richardson 2007).”
Life‐history traits are correlated with geographical distribution patterns of western European forest herb species (2007, methodology): “These results are generally consistent with previous reports from Great Britain (Kelly & Woodward, 1996; Kelly, 1996) and Australia (Murray et al., 2002) which have noted positive associations between woody plant height and range size.”
Do rock endemic and widespread plant species differ under the Leaf–Height–Seed plant ecology strategy scheme? (2003, background): “There is a long-lasting interest concerning the ecological conditions which provide a template for differentiation and/or persistence of restricted endemic species (Griggs 1940; Drury 1974; Murray et al. 2002).”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “dispersal, seed size and germination biology)? There is surprisingly little hard evidence, but (with the possible exception of a positive association between abundance and seed production) the general answer seems to be no (Murray et al., 2002).”
