The role of biotic interactions in shaping distributions and realised assemblages of species: implications for species distribution modelling (2012, background): “Also, the colonization of islands by fleshy-fruited plants provides evidence that range limits and distributional areas of these species strongly depend on animal dispersers (Thornton, Compton & Wilson, 1996; Shanahan et al., 2001).”
From communities to continents: beta diversity of herbivorous insects (2005, background): “Regional gamma diversity can be partitioned into the average local alpha diversity (aavg) and between-site beta diversity ( b) in either a multiplicative or additive fashion.”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “…gene flow (Godoy & Jordano 2001), escape from areas of high mortality (Harms et al. 2000), colonization of new sites (Neeman & Izhaki 1996; Shanahan et al. 2001; Richardson et al. 2002; Laurance et al. 2006), and directed dispersal to especially favorable sites (Wenny & Levey 1998;…”
