Nice weather for bettongs: using weather events, not climate means, in species distribution models (2012, background): “Th e stability of favourable weather and the suitability of the long-term climate of this region (Williams and Middleton 2008), coupled with less pressure from competitive interactions, can explain why northern bettongs reach their highest abundance there.”
Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “Thus, even generalist foragers such as terrestrial insectivores will be affected by increased drought frequency and severity (Poulin et al., 1992; Williams & Middleton, 2008).”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “Within-year climatic stability is also an important factor; areas with lower seasonality (more stable rainfall pattern) support higher densities of birds (Williams and Middleton 2008).”
The effects of climate change on tropical birds (2012, background): “For birds and other animals, however, increases in rainfall seasonality and consequent increases in resource bottlenecks are likely to exacerbate the expected impacts of changes in temperature and precipitation regimes (Williams and Middleton, 2008).”
