Establishment success of invasive ring‐necked and monk parakeets in Europe (2009, methodology): “In order to control for the possible confounding effect of energy availability, we included the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an environmental variable, as NDVI is a close correlate of plant productivity and can be used as a proxy for the amount of resources available for consumer”
Remotely sensed productivity, regional home range selection, and local range use by an omnivorous primate (2009, background): “In animal ecology, this has inadvertently led to a bias in the application of remotely sensed data toward wideranging taxa (birds: Evans et al. 2006; carnivores: Herfindal et al. 2005; ungulates: Ito et al. 2006).”
Stacked species distribution models and macroecological models provide congruent projections of avian species richness under climate change (2015, methodology): “On the one hand, Evans et al. (2006), using a stan-”
Environment–richness relationships for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians at global and regional scales (2010, background): “…amphibians (Buckley and Jetz 2007), and plants (Francis and Currie 2003; Kreft and Jetz 2007), among many others at continental scales or below (e.g., Currie 1991; Kerr and Packer 1997; Badgley and Fox 2000; Hawkins and Porter 2003; Hurlbert and Haskell 2003; Hurlbert 2004; Evans et al. 2006).”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “…composition, such as in total abundance, total biomass or total energy use (e.g. Enquist & Niklas, 2001; Hurlbert, 2004; Pautasso & Gaston, 2005; Evans et al., 2006a), or in the numbers or proportions of different functional or behavioural groups (e.g. Newton & Dale, 1996; Stevens et al., 2003;…”
Satellite image texture and a vegetation index predict avian biodiversity in the Chihuahuan Desert of New Mexico (2009, background): “Variability in elevation (ranging from 1163 to 2332 m a.s.l.), precipitation, and soil types across the Range determine the plant communities ( Dick-Peddie 1993 ).”
Disentangling the effects of geographic distance and environmental dissimilarity on global patterns of species turnover (2012, background): “MAT is an indicator of ambient energy (Hawkins & Porter, 2003; Evans et al., 2006; Davies et al., 2007), as is PET (Currie, 1991); TEMPVAR, the difference between the means of the warmest and coldest months of the year, indicates temperature seasonality and is strongly correlated with latitude; MAP ”
