Explaining the species richness of birds along a subtropical elevational gradient in the Hengduan Mountains (2013, background): “zone has a significant impact on the elevational species richness pattern, and subsequent studies have confirmed the role of area in shaping the species richness gradient (Bachman et al., 2004; Kattan & Franco, 2004; McCain, 2005, 2009; Fu et al., 2007), although none of these studies argued that th”
The Mid‐Domain Effect: There’s a Baby in the Bathwater (2005, background): “Since the publication of CRG, recent articles have taken MDE in fruitful new directions (Bachman et al. 2004; Jetz et al. 2004; Morales et al. 2004; Rodriguez and Arita 2004; Arita 2005; Cardelús et al. 2005; Connolly 2005; Davies et al. 2005; Hernández et al. 2005; Herzog et al. 2005; Lusk et…”
Global analysis of bird elevational diversity (2009, background): “Other taxonomic groups also show mixed SAR effects on mountains: supportive (plants: Jones et al., 2003; Bachman et al., 2004; ants: Sanders, 2002; fish: Fu et al., 2004) and not supportive (plants: Odland & Birks, 1999; Vetaas & Grytnes, 2002; Bhattarai et al., 2004; Oommen & Shanker, 2005; ants:…”

(2004) plants elevation New Guinea no yes yes yes (?)”
Historical legacies in the geographical diversity patterns of New World palm (Arecaceae) subfamilies (2006, background): “A recent study of New Guinean palms concluded that area and mid-domain effects together explained most of the observed variation in diversity related to elevation (Bachman et al., 2004).”
Global warming, elevational ranges and the vulnerability of tropical biota (2010, background): “The most plausible explanation, we believe, is that regions with larger, more contiguous, and taller mountain masses are most likely to sustain greater proportions of elevational specialists, especially upper-zone specialists (cf. Bachman et al., 2004; Kattan and Franco, 2004).”
Elevational species richness patterns for vascular plants on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo (2006, background): “Most studies from tropical areas have been made at a local scale, based on field sampling of transects and often only on a subset of the total flora (Kitayama, 1992, 1996; Lieberman et al., 1996; Kessler, 2001; Bachman et al., 2004).”
Global Centers of Vascular Plant Diversity (2005, background): “New Guinea contains one of the richest palm floras of the world (BACHMAN et al. 2004).”
The effect of area on local and regional elevational patterns of species richness (2011, background): “For this reason, a number of studies have corrected the regional number of species along elevational gradients for area effects (e.g. Rahbek, 1997; Sanders, 2002; Bachman et al., 2004).”
