Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “…shown the converse to be the case, with the more widespread species accounting for the bulk of patterns of species richness (Jetz & Rahbek, 2002; Lennon et al., 2004) and being more strongly associated with patterns of spatial variation in environmental conditions (Evans et al., 2005c; Rahbek…”
The significance of geographic range size for spatial diversity patterns in Neotropical palms (2006, background): “Ecological and environmental data sets generally show spatial autocorrelation which violates the assumption of independence and can affect parameter estimates of most traditional statistic procedures (Legendre 1993, Lennon 2000, Diniz-Filho et al. 2003).”
TESTS OF THE MID-DOMAIN HYPOTHESIS: A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE (2008, methodology): “This has often been observed empirically (e.g., Lennon et al. 2004: Fig.”
Quantifying plant species diversity in a Natura 2000 network: Old ideas and new proposals (2008, background): “These results confirmed previous findings suggesting that the selection of protected areas on the basis of threatened and endemic species performed considerably better than a random selection (Bonn et al., 2002; Lennon et al., 2004 ); however, such a selection did not guarantee the representation o”
Biodiversity response to intensive biomass production from forest thinning in North American forests – A meta-analysis (2011, background): “Furthermore, as a result of common species being disproportionately included due to the availability of data, analysis of single species responses may or may not provide an accurate picture of biodiversity response (Lennon et al., 2004; Prendergast et al., 1993).”
Predicting species distributions from herbarium collections: does climate bias in collection sampling influence model outcomes? (2007, background): “Thus, while accurate estimates of spatial patterns of richness reflect the disproportionate contribution of presence records of widely distributed species (Jetz & Rahbek, 2002; Lennon et al., 2004), estimates based on species distribution models are likely to artificially inflate such contributions ”
Regional variation in climate change winners and losers highlights the rapid loss of cold‐dwelling species (2016, background): “shaped more by common species than rare ones (Lennon et al., 2004) and range expansions are easier to detect than”
Biodiversity and extinction: the importance of being common (2008, background): “However, evidence to date suggests that this disproportionate contribution tends often to remain at least when using very simple approaches of controlling for variation in absolute information content (Lennon et al., 2004; Vázquez and Gaston, 2004; Kreft et al., 2006).”
Species‐energy relationships at the macroecological scale: a review of the mechanisms (2005, background): “This appears to be so in some situations (Bonn, Storch & Gaston, 2004), but common species often contribute most to species–energy relationships ( Jetz & Rahbek, 2002; K. L. Evans & K. J. Gaston, unpublished data) and to spatial variation in species richness in general (Lennon et al., 2004).”
