- Nestedness of Southern Ocean island biotas: ecological perspectives on a biogeographical conundrum (2004, background): “It has been suggested that small organisms are much more likely to be panmictic than larger ones (Fenchel, 1993; Finlay et al., 1996; Finlay & Clarke, 1999; but see also Wilkinson, 2001), and in consequence that speciation is likely to be less common and taxa more widely distributed.”
- Spatial scaling of microbial biodiversity. (2006, background): “Data on polar surveys for testate amoeba assemblages also support this hypothesis (Wilkinson 2001).”
- Testate Amoebae and Nutrient Cycling with Particular Reference to Soils (2010, methodology): “Many, but not all, of the identified morphospecies are cosmopolitan in their distribution (Wilkinson 2001a, Smith and Wilkinson 2007).”
- Not all free‐living microorganisms have cosmopolitan distributions – the case of Nebela (Apodera) vas Certes (Protozoa: Amoebozoa: Arcellinida) (2007, methodology): “This work has not, however, met with universal agreement (e.g. Mann & Droop, 1996; Foissner, 1997, 1999; Hillebrand et al., 2001; Wilkinson, 2001; Mitchell & Meisterfeld, 2005; Yang et al., 2005b).”
- Diversity and biogeography of testate amoebae (2008, background): “…were noted repeatedly through the 20th century (Hoogenraad and Groot 1940, 1979; Jung 1942b; Cailleux 1978; Bonnet 1983; Smith and Wilkinson 1987; Wilkinson 2001; Meisterfeld 2002a, b; Foissner 2006), giving rise to models which have related some species’ distributions to the palaeogeography of…”
