Mapping avian distributions: the evolution of bird atlases (2007, background): “Furthermore, the generally robust relationship between range size and abundance (Gaston et al. 2000) means that information on range size, and changes in range size, can be reliable predictors of population size and trends.”
Distance decay of similarity among European urban floras: the impact of anthropogenic activities on β diversity (2008, background): “Alternatively, if a species benefits from anthropogenic activities, both occupancy and abundance are likely to respond in a positive fashion (the abundance‐occupancy relationship; see Gaston et al., 2000 for review).”
Long-term population trends in widespread British moths (2004, background): “Abundance and occupancy tend to be positively correlated at the community level (Gaston et al. 2000), but low levels of temporal variation and time-lags between changes of abundance and occupancy within species make positive intraspecific relationships difficult to detect (Gaston and Curnutt 1998;…”
sPlot – A new tool for global vegetation analyses (2019, background): “…provide information on the relative cover or relative abundance of species, allowing for the testing of central theories of biogeography, such as the abundance– range size relationship (Gaston & Curnutt, 1998) or the relationship between local abundance and niche breadth (Gaston et al., 2000).”
Why do alien plant species that reproduce in natural habitats occur more frequently? (2004, background): “Widespread species tend to be more abundant than rare species (Gaston et al., 2000), which means that species with larger range size are more likely to have larger population size.”
Tools for integrating range change, extinction risk and climate change information into conservation management (2013, background): “However, theory suggests it is unlikely that the abundance of individual species will decline at the same rate as its distribution since species are rarely evenly distributed throughout their range (Lawton 1993, Gaston et al. 2000).”
Numerical abundance and biodiversity of below‐ground taxocenes along a pH gradient across the Netherlands (2005, background): “…them to get the highest numerical abundances of all population sizes occurring in the soil (Fitter, 2005), the universal positive relationship between numerical abundance and productivity (cf. Gaston et al., 2000; Kaspari, 2001; Whittaker et al., 2001) seems to be confirmed also for prokaryotes.”
