• Biogeographical variation in the population density of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in western Eurasia (2006, background): “Implications of large-scale patterns in abundance of wild boar Species borders, as stated by Holt et al. (2005), are a geographical manifestation of species demographic responses to a spatially and temporally varying world.”
• Influence of phylogeny and ploidy on species ranges of North American angiosperms (2009, background): “…of the species range, the area within which members of a given species occur for at least part of their lives, is a fundamental goal of modern ecology and the basis for management of rare and invasive species (Mayr 1963; Hoffman & Blows 1994; Kirkpatrick & Barton 1997; Holt & Keitt 2005).”
• Effects of marginality on plant population performance (2014, background): “This complexity makes it difficult to detect unambiguous performance behaviour, the evolutionary fate and the conservation value of peripheral plant populations (PPPs) (Lesica & Allendorf, 1995; Holt & Keitt, 2005; Abeli et al., 2009; Gentili et al., 2011).”
• Biogeography of European land mammals shows environmentally distinct and spatially coherent clusters (2007, background): “Indeed, Holt & Keitt (2005) have recently argued that species borders qualify as a ‘unifying theme’ in ecology.”
• Modelling non-equilibrium distributions of invasive species: a tale of two modelling paradigms (2009, background): “The threats to biodiversity, agriculture and human health from climate change (IPCC 2007) and invasive species (Mooney and Hobbs 2000) are creating a burgeoning demand for tools to estimate changes in potential species’ ranges ( Holt and Keitt 2005 ).”
• Human impacts on environment–diversity relationships: evidence for biotic homogenization from butterfly species richness patterns (2007, background): “Determining the factors that control species range limits could also help answer this question (see Holt & Keitt, 2005, and papers in the same issue for extended discussion).”
• Estimating demographic models for the range dynamics of plant species (2010, background): “…however, all of these processes affect range dynamics through their effect on the reproduction, mortality and/or dispersal of individuals (Holt & Keitt, 2005): the balance of reproduction and mortality defines local population dynamics, whereas dispersal determines how strongly these…”
• The human colonisation of Europe: where are we? (2006, background): “As Holt and Keitt (2005) mention, studies of a species biogeographic range limits are quintessentially integrative intellectual exercises, in that understanding range limits requires one to draw on many of the core concepts of ecology and evolution.”
