Environment–richness relationships for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians at global and regional scales (2010, methodology): “Previous studies have shown that productive energy is a greater constraint on species richness than ambient energy for some taxa (e.g., amphibians; Buckley and Jetz 2007 )a nd, accordingly, productive energy has been used as a sole energy measure in many studies (e.g., Hurlbert 2004; Ding et al. 20”
Distribution pattern of trees along an elevation gradient of Eastern Himalaya, India (2011, unknown): “Despite recent advances in elevational pattern studies on faunal (Ding et al., 2006; Fu et al., 2007;McCain, 2007, 2009; Sanders et al., 2007; Rowe, 2009; Chettri et al., 2010) and floral communities (Vàzquez and Givnish, 1998; Sánchez-González and López-Mata, 2005; Cardelus et al.”
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): unforeseen successes in animal ecology (2011, background): “In East Asia (Oriental Region, Wallacea Subregion, and part of Palaearctic Region), average NDVI was the most important factor determining the variation in bird species richness, with a linear positive correlation between NDVI and bird species richness (Ding et al. 2006).”
Measuring and modelling biodiversity from space (2008, background): “Similar relationships between NDVI and diversity have been noted for animal taxa such as birds and butterflies within landscapes (Seto et al., 2004; Goetz et al., 2007) and regions (Hurlbert and Haskell, 2003; Foody, 2004b; Ding et al., 2006; Bino et al., 2008).”
