• Predicting the future of species diversity: macroecological theory, climate change, and direct tests of alternative forecasting methods (2009, background): “If empirical macroecological theories of diversity represent actual functional relationships between environment and species richness, then they should successfully predict changes through time as well as space (H-Acevedo and Currie 2003, Kerr et al. 2007).”
• Bird species richness patterns of northern Taiwan: primary productivity, human population density, and habitat heterogeneity (2006, background): “Four of the hypotheses frequently discussed are energy, climate, habitat heterogeneity, and human activities (Kerr & Packer, 1997; Rahbek & Graves, 2001; Chown et al ., 2003; Francies & Currie, 2003; H-Acevedo & Currie, 2003; Hawkins et al ., 2003).”
• Determinants of the biogeographical distribution of butterflies in boreal regions (2006, background): “However, only a few biogeographical studies have been conducted in which the importance of climate vs. land-cover for species distribution has been explicitly examined using modelling approaches (Turner et al., 1998; H-Acevendo & Currie, 2003; Stefanescu et al., 2004; Thuiller et al., 2004a).”
• Why do birds migrate? A macroecological perspective (2015, background): “But migration is also an extraordinary opportunity, as a natural experiment for testing hypotheses of the mechanisms driving the spatial distribution of species (H-Acevedo & Currie, 2003; Hurlbert & Haskell, 2003; Boucher-Lalonde et al., 2014; Dalby et al., 2014).”
