Determinants of the biogeographical distribution of butterflies in boreal regions (2006, background): “A similar trend has also been reported for the geographical variation in butterfly species richness in the Western Palearctic (Hawkins & Porter, 2003).”
Species richness and evolutionary speed: the influence of temperature, water and area (2014, background): “As temperature increases, species richness tends to increase up to a maximum, beyond which water deficits then begin to depress richness (O’Brien, 1998; Francis & Currie, 2003; Hawkins et al., 2003, 2005; Field et al., 2005).”
Tropical niche conservatism and the species richness gradient of North American butterflies (2009, background): “Strong relationships between climatic conditions and richness have also been reported for the butterflies of California (Hawkins & Porter, 2003a) and Great Britain (Turner et al., 1987).”
Defying the curse of ignorance: perspectives in insect macroecology and conservation biogeography (2010, background): “For example, Hawkins and Porter (2003b) analysed the congruence of patterns between butterflies and host plants in California to evaluate the potential influence of host– plant richness on broad-scale herbivore richness.”
An elevational shift in butterfly species richness and composition accompanying recent climate change (2007, background): “Butterfly diversity in the Iberian peninsula is least at low latitudes (Hawkins & Porter, 2003) and elevations (Stefanescu et al., 2004), and consequently there is a ‘limited source’ of colonizing species to replace those lost to higher latitudes or elevations because of climate change (Ibáñez et…”
Species' geographic ranges and distributional limits: pattern analysis and statistical issues (2005, unknown): “In some cases, resolution can have only a minor effect on analytical outcomes and consequent conclusions (Hawkins and Porter 2003, Blackburn et al. 2004).”
Energy, water and large-scale patterns of reptile and amphibian species richness in Europe (2005, background): “This agrees with previous studies of other animals in the same region (e.g., Schall and Pianka, 1977; Diniz-Filho et al., 2003; Hawkins and Porter, 2003), and in other parts of the world (Hawkins et al., 2003b), and lends further support to the hypothesis that contemporary climate drives diversity…”
PAPER Recent range shifts of European dragonflies provide support for an inverse relationship between habitat predictability and dispersal (2013, result): “However, as shown for butterflies by Hawkins & Porter (2003), grid occupancy data are in general closely related to those derived from outline maps; therefore, such overestimations should not have strong impacts on our results.”
Environment–richness relationships for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians at global and regional scales (2010, background): “…amphibians (Buckley and Jetz 2007), and plants (Francis and Currie 2003; Kreft and Jetz 2007), among many others at continental scales or below (e.g., Currie 1991; Kerr and Packer 1997; Badgley and Fox 2000; Hawkins and Porter 2003; Hurlbert and Haskell 2003; Hurlbert 2004; Evans et al. 2006).”
Explaining the global biodiversity gradient: energy, area, history and natural selection (2004, background): “…‘‘relief’’, usually measured as the range of elevation: it has long been known that crinkly areas of the planet have more species (Humboldt in Gould, 2002a; Simpson, 1964; Richerson & Lum, 1980; Badgley & Fox, 2000; O’Brien, Field, & Whittaker, 2000; Hawkins & Porter, 2003a; Hawkins et al., 2003a).”
Identifying recorder-induced geographic bias in an Iberian butterfly database (2006, background): “ECOGRAPHY 29:6 (2006) 883 Mediterranean countries: Munguira 1995, Hawkins and Porter 2003).”
Determinants of species richness in generalist and specialist Mediterranean butterflies: the negative synergistic forces of climate and habitat change (2011, background): “Both direct physiological effects on insects and indirect effects on host-plants may account for the importance of water availability in Mediterranean areas (Hawkins and Porter 2003b).”
Distribution patterns of boreal marshland birds: modelling the relationships to land cover and climate (2005, methodology): “We used a similar approach to examine the importance of spatial autocorrelation as those used Diniz-Filho et al. (2003) and Hawkins & Porter (2003), for example.”
Environmental determinants of amphibian and reptile species richness in China (2007, background): “PET is a measure of ambient energy (Hawkins and Porter 2003).”
Determinants of species richness, endemism and turnover in European longhorn beetles (2008, background): “…about European diversity patterns is based mainly on some well-known taxonomic groups, especially vertebrates and plants (Rodrı́guez et al. 2005, 2006, Svenning and Skov 2007b, Montoya et al. 2007, Whittaker et al. 2007) and some invertebrates such as butterflies (Hawkins and Porter 2003).”
