Altitudinal patterns of seed plant richness in the Gaoligong Mountains, south‐east Tibet, China (2007, background): “To explain the species richness patterns, several hypotheses have been proposed during the last decades, which concern energy and water availability (Currie, 1991; Heaney, 2001; Hawkins et al ., 2003, 2005), habitat heterogeneity (Jetz & Rahbek, 2002), evolutionary history (Ricklefs et al .”
The elevational gradient in Andean bird species richness at the local scale: a foothill peak and a high‐elevation plateau (2005, methodology): “…between species richness and elevation, e.g. for trees in Costa Rica (Lieberman et al. 1996), for several plant groups in Bolivia (Kessler 2000c, 2001b), for ants in the western United States (Sanders 2002), and for non-volant small mammals in the Philippines (Heaney 2001), Malaysia (Md.”
A tribute to Claude Shannon (1916-2001) and a plea for more rigorous use of species richness, species diversity and the 'Shannon-Wiener' Index (2003, background): “A brief search of the journals Biodiversity Letters , Diversity and Distributions and Global Ecology and Biogeography revealed that in some papers ‘diversity’ or ‘species richness’ is used in the title but species richness and diversity may be used almost interchangeably in the text (Cotgreave & Har”
Species‐energy relationships at the macroecological scale: a review of the mechanisms (2005, background): “, 2000), fish (Eadie & Keast, 1984), birds (Hurlbert & Haskell, 2003) and mammals (Fox & Fox, 2000; Heaney, 2001).”
Distribution, species diversity and life-form spectra of plant communities along an altitudinal gradient in the northern slopes of Qilianshan Mountains, Gansu, China (2003, background): “Many studies reported that diversity peaks at intermediate elevations, e.g., in tropical rain forests (Lieberman et al. 1996; Vazquez García and Givnish 1998; Zimmerman et al. 1999) or in small mammals (Heaney 2001; Rickart 2001; Md.”
The roles of geological history and colonization abilities in genetic differentiation between mammalian populations in the Philippine archipelago (2005, background): “…it has been maintained, have been the subject of diverse studies of biogeography, diversity gradients, systematics, and population biology (e.g. Heaney, 1986, 1991a, 2000, 2001; Heideman & Heaney, 1989; Heaney & Rickart, (habitat association and vagility) and geological circumstances (presence…”
The mid‐domain effect applied to elevational gradients: species richness of small mammals in Costa Rica (2004, background): “Numerous hypotheses exist to explain elevational species richness patterns; however, many are neither mutually exclusive nor independent, and none are consistently supported with empirical evidence (Brown, 2001; Heaney, 2001; Lomolino, 2001).”
Harvestman (Arachnida: Opiliones) species distribution along three Neotropical elevational gradients: an alternative rescue effect to explain Rapoport's rule? (2006, background): “It is worth noting that the three mountains sampled are close to the sea (c. 15 km) and, like many other montane forests worldwide, the highlands are subject to fog deposition throughout the year (Hamilton et al., 1995).”
Breeding bird species richness in Taiwan: distribution on gradients of elevation, primary productivity and urbanization (2004, background): “Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain, if it is the case, the hump-shaped pattern of species richness on elevational gradient (examples in Heaney, 2001).”
Variation in plant species richness of different life forms along a subtropical elevation gradient in the Himalayas, east Nepal (2003, background): “However, Rahbek (1995) has shown that many studies have a low to mid-altitude peak in species richness (e.g. Whittaker, 1960; Shmida & Wilson, 1985; Lieberman et al., 1996; Heaney, 2001; Md. Nor, 2001; Rickart, 2001; Sánchez-Cordero, 2001).”
Can Rapoport's rule explain tree species richness along the Himalayan elevation gradient, Nepal? (2006, background): “The variation of species richness along elevation gradients has been documented for a variety of taxa and geographical areas (e.g. Terborgh, 1977; Stevens, 1992; Rahbek, 1995, 1997; Brown, 2001; Heaney, 2001; Md.”
Global analysis of bird elevational diversity (2009, background): “A single, consistent diversity optimum is the general prediction of all static evolutionary models proposed to date (e.g. Brown, 2001, p. 107; Heaney, 2001, hypothesis 12; Lomolino, 2001, Fig.”

Elevational Gradients in Species Richness (2010, background): “If temperature is a main determinant of elevational species richness, the pattern predicted is decreasing diversity with increasing elevation (Heaney, 2001; McCain, 2007b).”
