Beta diversity of geometrid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) in an Andean montane rainforest (2003, background): “However, the subfamilies show contrasting elevational patterns of alpha diversity (Brehm et al., 2003), and also substantially differ with regard to host plant relationships (Brehm, 2002).”
Elevational Gradients in Species Richness (2010, background): “Recently, there has been a concerted effort to systematically document species richness along elevational gradients around the world for many groups of plants and animals (Heaney, 2001; Kessler et al., 2001; Sanders, 2002; Brehm et al., 2003; Grytnes, 2003; Herzog et al., 2005).”
Determinants of diversity in afrotropical herbivorous insects (Lepidoptera: Geometridae): plant diversity, vegetation structure or abiotic factors? (2009, background): “Fisher’s alpha has been widely used and has proved to be a robust measure with which to assess tropical arthropod diversity (Brehm et al., 2003b; Schulze & Fiedler, 2003; Axmacher et al., 2004a).”
Diversity and composition of Amazonian moths in primary, secondary and plantation forests (2009, background): “…particular plant species is therefore critical, both for the emergence of adults and for egg-laying, but investigating the relationship between the moth community structure and plant diversity is hindered by the very limited knowledge of resource use by individual moth species (Brehm et al. 2003).”
The effect of area on local and regional elevational patterns of species richness (2011, background): “However, even if sampling area is held constant, regional area will influence local species indirectly through the increase of the regional species pool (‘echo-effect’, sensu Rosenzweig & Ziv, 1999; see also Brehm et al., 2003; Herzog et al., 2005).”
Elevational species richness patterns for vascular plants on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo (2006, methodology): “Extrapolation of species richness by, for example, Chao estimators or abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE) has been applied in some studies (Brehm et al., 2003; Wolf & Flamenco-S, 2003).”
Insects on Plants: Diversity of Herbivore Assemblages Revisited (2005, background): “Furthermore, at least one study found species richness of the entire moth community constant with elevation, in seeming contrast to host diversity (Brehm et al. 2003).”
The elevational gradient in Andean bird species richness at the local scale: a foothill peak and a high‐elevation plateau (2005, background): “For geometrid moths in southeast Ecuador, Brehm et al. (2003) also found roughly constant values at 1800 /2700 m. A highelevation richness plateau is not predicted by Rahbek’s (1997) hump-shaped model or by the geometric null model, and strongly disagrees with the productivity hypothesis.”
