Functional differences between native and alien species: a global-scale comparison: Functional differences of native and alien plants (2010, background): “…at landscape, regional and biogeographical scales, but small enough to show signals from meta-communities and local inter-specific interactions (Blackburn & Gaston 2002); (ii) Environmental aspects for each grid cell can be generally considered homogeneous (e.g. climates, overall soil type,…”
Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, unknown): “More generally, these notions suggest that variation in biodiversity may be best explained by different factors at different grain sizes and geographical extents (Rosenzweig, 1995; Whittaker et al., 2001; Blackburn & Gaston, 2002).”
Global patterns in fruiting seasons (2008, background): “A second explanation might be that the processes occurring on smaller, regional scales may be different from the processes operating at the global scale (see Blackburn & Gaston, 2002; Aukema, 2004; Burns, 2004; Garcia & Ortiz-Pulido, 2004).”
Analysing botanical collecting effort in Amazonia and correcting for it in species range estimation (2007, background): “Journal compilation ª 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd unit size is often difficult to determine (see Rahbek & Graves, 2001; Whittaker et al., 2001; Blackburn & Gaston, 2002; Rahbek, 2005).”
The world's biogeographical regions: cluster analyses based on bat distributions (2005, methodology): “The 15 scale may appear rough, but large scales are in several ways appropriate for analysing global patterns (Blackburn & Gaston, 2002), and they allow for mapping distributions globally with a minimum number of false absence values (Simpson, 1960).”
Changes in four complementary facets of fish diversity in a tropical coastal lagoon after 18 years: a functional interpretation (2005, background): “These components of diversity are certainly influenced by many local and regional factors acting simultaneously over relatively short periods and independently from structural changes in ecosystem functioning (Blackburn & Gaston 2002).”
Determinants of species richness, endemism and turnover in European longhorn beetles (2008, background): “For this reason, as pointed out by Blackburn and Gaston (2002), ‘‘studies at all scales have the potential to inform about the structure and function of the ecological systems’’.”
Butterfly species richness in mainland Portugal: predictive models of geographic distribution patterns (2004, methodology): “Furthermore, the spatial scale used limits the outcome of our analysis to the broad spatial resolution of biogeography (see Blackburn and Gaston 2002 for a discussion).”
