The CIPRES science gateway: enabling high-impact science for phylogenetics researchers with limited resources (2012, background): “• Water beetle species that inhabit standing waters have much broader ranges than their running water counterparts because of an enhanced ability to disperse themselves, rather than a greater tolerance for new environments [22].”
Niche breadth predicts geographical range size: a general ecological pattern. (2013, background): “…hypothesis has been discussed, debated and tested in numerous studies and books (e.g. Brown 1984; Gaston et al. 1997, 2000; Gaston & Blackburn 2000; Arribas et al. 2012; Boulangeat et al. 2012), yet a general consensus on the presence or magnitude of such a relationship has been slow to emerge.”
Contrasting effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors on beta diversity in river organisms (2013, background): “Similarly, differences in the recolonization capacities of organisms following recent glaciations have led to different regional species pools and beta-diversity patterns in Europe (Svenning & Skov, 2007; Arribas et al., 2012; Baselga et al., 2012).”
