Ploidy influences rarity and invasiveness in plants (2011, background): “Taxon size and evolutionary antiquity have also been suggested as factors associated with rarity (Hodgson 1986; Schwartz & Simberloff 2001; Lozano & Schwartz 2005).”
Body size, rarity, and phylogenetic community structure: insights from diving beetle assemblages of Alberta (2006, result): “…presence of phylogenetic signal to rarity are rare (Arita, 1993; Chazdon et al., 2003; Pilgrim et al., 2004) and studies have found conflicting results of whether rare species are more frequent in clades that are species-poor (Vamosi & Vamosi, 2005) or species-rich (Schwartz & Simberloff, 2001).”
Selectivity in Mammalian Extinction Risk and Threat Types: a New Measure of Phylogenetic Signal Strength in Binary Traits (2010, background): “Most previous studies of phylogenetic pattern in extinction risk have concentrated on assessing the significance, rather than the strength, of phylogenetic signal (e.g., Bennett & Owens 1997; Purvis et al. 2000; Schwartz & Simberloff 2001; Bielby et al. 2006).”
Neutral theory and community ecology (2004, result): “However, this finding conflicts with the pattern found by Schwartz & Simberloff (2001) at a global scale and even with the pattern found in a different analysis of the same South American dataset used by Webb & Pitman (see Pitman et al. 2001).”
