• The bioclimatic envelope of the wolverine (Gulo gulo): do climatic constraints limit its geographic distribution? (2010, background): “Creating range boundaries heuristically incorporates errors of precision, accuracy, and interpretation (Brown et al. 1996; McKelvey et al. 2000; Hurlbert and White 2005).”
• Macro‐scale bird species richness patterns of the East Asian mainland and islands: energy, area and isolation (2006, background): “BSR is relatively higher at mid-latitudes in Europe (Araújo et al., 2005) and in the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada in North America (Hurlbert & White, 2005).”
• Effectiveness of biodiversity indicators varies with extent, grain, and region (2006, methodology): “Hurlbert and White (2005) noted that conclusions drawn from studies like ours depend on whether the species data are derived from surveys or range maps, because range map data portray species locations at a coarser scale than survey data and tend to overestimate the occurrence of species.”
• Projected Impacts of Climate and Land-Use Change on the Global Diversity of Birds (2007, unknown): “We recognize that range maps are a scale-dependent abstraction of species’ actual occurrence [21] that limit interpretation at fine geographic scales.”
• A comparison of methods for mapping species ranges and species richness (2006, background): “Hurlbert & White (2005) showed that differences between richness maps created with different expert-drawn range maps and survey information influenced the correlation of environmental factors with richness patterns.”
