SESAM – a new framework integrating macroecological and species distribution models for predicting spatio‐temporal patterns of species assemblages (2011, methodology): “…Publishing Ltd http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/jbi 1433 doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2011.02550.x applied using either a curve-fitting correlative approach, a predictive simulation or other modelling techniques (Hawkins et al., 2003; Currie et al., 2004; Rahbek et al., 2007; Gotelli et al., 2009).”
A hot-point within a hot-spot: a high diversity site in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest (2007, result): “A high density of individuals, however, is not always associated with high species richness (Ter Steege et al. 2003; Currie et al. 2004), as large variations in the number of species at sites with similar numbers of individuals were seen at the sites analyzed in this study.”
Functional diversity supports the physiological tolerance hypothesis for plant species richness along climatic gradients (2014, background): “One of the leading hypotheses to explain this pattern (along with the ‘faster speciation’ (Fisher 1960) and ‘more individuals’ hypotheses (Rohde 1992)) is the ‘physiological tolerance hypothesis’ (Currie et al. 2004).”
Historic and prehistoric human‐driven extinctions have reshaped global mammal diversity patterns (2015, methodology): “The six-first parameters were similar to ones used in earlier analyses to estimate the role of various hypotheses behind diversity gradients (e.g. Currie et al., 2004; Safi et al., 2011).”
Arctic biodiversity assessment : status and trends in arctic biodiversity (2013, neutral): “A number of hypotheses have been advanced to explain the latitudinal trend of biodiversity, although no consensus exists for a mechanistic explanation (Currie et al. 2004).”
Semi‐natural habitats mitigate the effects of temperature rise on wild bees (2017, result): “This indicates that drier and hotter sites tended to have higher bee diversity, in accordance with the species richness–energy hypothesis (e.g. Currie et al. 2004).”
Ecological effects of extreme drought on Californian herbaceous plant communities (2016, background): “…theoretical evidence suggests a “physiological tolerance” explanation for the positive water–richness relationship, in which a wider array of functional trait values (and thus, species) are compatible with wet than dry climates (Kleidon and Mooney 2000, Currie et al. 2004, Spasojevic et al. 2014).”
Phylogenetic diversity, trait diversity and niches: species assembly of ferns along a tropical elevational gradient (2011, background): “It has often been stated that elevational transects form a natural gradient of rapidly changing environmental shifts, especially in temperature and humidity regimes, and that particularly these factors govern species-richness patterns (Hawkins et al., 2003; Currie et al., 2004).”
The biogeography and filtering of woody plant functional diversity in North and South America (2012, background): “…detailed maps depicting how plant species richness varies across the earth (Kier et al., 2005; Mutke & Barthlott, 2005), fostering more thorough tests of the numerous hypotheses put forward to explain the origin and maintenance of species diversity (e.g. Currie et al., 2004; Weiser et al., 2007).”
