The nature of the diversity of Antarctic fishes (2004, background): “Biologists have discovered and described only about 10% of the species diversity of the earth’s biosphere (Wilson 1992; Brooks and McLennan 2002).”
Beringia: Intercontinental exchange and diversification of high latitude mammals and their parasites during the Pliocene and Quaternary (2005, background): “…coevolution — Parasites and hosts may be associated via coevolutionary processes involving macroevolutionary components such as cospeciation (association of host and parasite lineages by descent), or microevolutionary components such as coadaptation (e.g., Brooks and McLennan 2002; Hoberg 2005a).”
A macroevolutionary mosaic: episodic host‐switching, geographical colonization and diversification in complex host–parasite systems (2008, methodology): “…a macroevolutionary process linking diversification in associated lineages of hosts and parasites; and co-adaptation, a microevolutionary process perhaps best exemplified by armsrace phenomena and reciprocal adaptation (Brooks, 1979; Brooks & McLennan, 2002; Hoberg, 2005a; Thompson, 2005).”
Weevils, weevils, weevils everywhere* (2007, unknown): “Testing these features as key innovations is difficult but may be approached by contrasting the diversity of relevant sister taxa (Farrell 1998, Brooks & McLennan 2002), although great care has to be taken to properly delimit both the groups and the innovation.”
Historical biogeography: A review of its basic concepts and critical issues (2006, background): “Some of these taxonomies have been the subject of recent discussions (see Ebach, 2001; Brooks and McLennan, 2002; Ebach et al., 2003, and literature cited therein).”
Phylogenetic patterns are not proxies of community assembly mechanisms (they are far better) (2015, background): “In doing so we will profit from prior approaches developed by evolutionary biologists and paleo-ecologists (e.g. Boucot 1996; Brooks & McLennan 2002).”
Can the enemy release hypothesis explain the success of invasive alien predators and parasitoids? (2011, background): “Brooks and McLennan (2002) described a further complication when discriminating between specialists and generalists, relevant to enemy release, particularly in the context of host-switching.”
Everywhere but Antarctica: using a supertree to understand the diversity and distribution of the Compositae. (2005, methodology): “This tree was reduced to a matrix using Brooks Parsimony Analysis (BPA; Brooks 1982; Brooks & McLennan 2002) wherein any branching diagram can be reduced to a series of zeros and ones in a data matrix (we used MacClade; Maddison & Maddison 2001).”
Finding Them Before They Find Us: Informatics, Parasites, and Environments in Accelerating Climate Change (2014, background): “As a consequence, it becomes even more imperative that existing taxonomists cooperate both with each other and with other biodiversity specialists (for an extensive discussion of the benefits of such cooperation , see Brooks and McLennan, 2002 ).”
The historical biogeography of co‐evolution: emerging infectious diseases are evolutionary accidents waiting to happen (2005, methodology): “In this regard, it is most similar to secondary BPA (Brooks, 1990; Brooks & McLennan, 2002), but has been shown to be an improvement on that method (Wojcicki & Brooks, 2004, 2005).”
A historical biogeographical protocol for studying biotic diversification by taxon pulses (2005, methodology): “…in further subdivision of the areas of endemism used by Marshall & Liebherr, as well as information about habitat heterogeneity within each area and episodes of ecological diversification associated with particular speciation events (for exemplars and a discussion, see Brooks & McLennan, 2002).”
Phylogenetic approaches in comparative physiology (2005, background): “…and Webster, 1999; Diniz-Filho, 2000; Feder et al., 2000; Garland and Ives, 2000; Maddison and Maddison, 2000; Garland, 2001; Rohlf, 2001; Autumn et al., 2002; Blomberg and Garland, 2002; Brooks and McLennan, 2002; Blomberg et al., 2002, 2003; Rezende and Garland, 2003; Housworth et al., 2004).”
Critique of parsimony analysis of endemicity as a method of historical biogeography (2003, methodology): “…on the general area cladogram (CCA and primary BPA) or by duplicating the areas in which the incongruent distributions occur (secondary BPA: for distinctions between primary and secondary BPA, see Brooks et al., 2001; Van Veller & Brooks, 2001; Brooks & McLennan, 2002; Hoberg & Klassen, 2002).”
How specialists can be generalists: resolving the “parasite paradox” and implications for emerging infectious disease (2010, background): “Our aims are to (1) synthesize the resolution to this problem and (2) address the implications for emerging infectious disease in humans.”
