A geometric morphometric approach to the study of ecogeographical and clinal variation in vervet monkeys (2007, methodology): “…structuring of variables and estimate the amount of variation of skull size or shape that could be attributed to one set of factors (environment) once the effects of the other (geography) had been taken into account (Legendre & Legendre, 1998; Ruggiero & Kitzberger, 2004; Botes et al., 2006).”
Remotely sensed productivity, regional home range selection, and local range use by an omnivorous primate (2009, background): “…to animal characteristics such as life-history traits (Rasmussen et al. 2006; Wittemyer et al. 2007), biodiversity (Hurlbert and Haskell 2003; Ruggiero and Kitzberger 2004), migration patterns (Boone et al. 2006; Ruegg et al. 2006), and species distributions (Osborne et al. 2001; Mueller et…”
Determinants of local spider (Araneidae and Thomisidae) species richness on a regional scale: climate and altitude vs. habitat structure (2007, methodology): “…et al. , 2005 ); thus, it is a widely used factor in studies of species-richness patterns and in predictive modelling (i.e. Egbert et al. , 2002; Suárez-Seoane et al. , 2002; Bailey et al. , 2004; Foody, 2004; Parra et al. , 2004; Roura-Pascual et al. , 2004; Ruggiero & Kitzberger, 2004 ).”
BIOCHRONOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS OF THE EARLIEST SOUTH AMERICAN PALEOGENE MAMMALIAN FAUNAS (2009, background): “…precipitation levels, and several measures of energy availability in local environments, such as mean and maximum temperature, net primary productivity, actual and potential evapotranspiration, and solar radiation received per unit area (Ruggiero and Kitzberger 2004 and literature cited therein).”
The significance of geographic range size for spatial diversity patterns in Neotropical palms (2006, background): “Consequences of the highly skewed range size frequency distributions (RSFD) on spatial patterns of species richness and on our perception of environmental determinants of species richness have so far been tested exclusively with vertebrates (Jetz and Rahbek 2002, Ruggiero and Kitzberger 2004, Lenn”
Cross-scale variation in species richness–environment associations (2011, background): “Consistent with other studies (Jetz & Rahbek, 2002; Ruggiero & Kitzberger, 2004; Rahbek et al., 2007), narrow-ranged species displayed higher relative importance of elevation range than wide-ranged species (Figs S5 & S6).”
Fish movement and habitat use depends on water body size and shape (2009, background): “In terrestrial species, increased effort of locomotion, reproduction and migration because of reduced resources occurs with declining home range (Ruggiero & Kitzberger 2004).”
Biodiversity and extinction: the importance of being common (2008, background): “Other geographic patterns in biodiversity have also been found to be disproportionately shaped by common species (but see Ruggiero and Kitzberger, 2004), although to date the empirical evidence is insufficient to judge whether this is generally so.”
Are richness patterns of common and rare species equally well explained by environmental variables (2011, methodology): “Applying partitions of assemblages using quartiles of species range size distributions ( Jetz and Rahbek 2002, Ruggiero and Kitzberger 2004) likely also misses considerable variation in richness vs environmental associations (model coefficients; Fig.”
