Searching for heat in a marine biodiversity hotspot (2009, background): “(McManus, 1985; Hoeksema, 2007); greater habitat heterogeneity (Hoeksema, 2007); large reef area (Bellwood & Hughes, 2001; Bellwood et al., 2005); and close proximity to the middle of the biogeographical domain (Connolly et al.”
Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “Geographic ranges of coral-reef fishes are mostly very large, but vary greatly (hughes et al. 2002, bellwood et al. 2005).”
Southeast Asia’s changing palaeogeography (2009, unknown): “It is commonly interpreted as linked to El Niño climate events and its position coincides with the maximum diversity of many marine organisms (e.g. Bellwood et al. 2005).”
TESTS OF THE MID-DOMAIN HYPOTHESIS: A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE (2008, background): “and reef fishes is greatest where reef area is greatest (Bellwood et al. 2005).”
The historical biogeography of coral reef fishes: global patterns of origination and dispersal (2013, background): “Indeed, total reef area is the primary variable explaining variation in reef fish diversity (Bellwood & Hughes, 2001; Bellwood et al., 2005).”
