Global patterns of stream detritivore distribution: implications for biodiversity loss in changing climates (2012, background): “Numerous explanations for this gradient have been proposed (e.g. Willig et al., 2003; Mittelbach et al., 2007), and it has been demonstrated that such explanations need to consider the relationship between local and regional diversity.”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “…Connell and Orias 1964, Pianka 1966, Palmer 1994, Moritz et al. 2000, Willig et al. 2003, Currie et al. 2004, Evans and Gaston 2005, Evans et al. 2005, Mittelbach et al. 2007) predict that diversity will be highest where productivity is highest, as a result of both ecological and evolutionary…”
Tip rates, phylogenies and diversification: What are we estimating, and how good are the estimates? (2019, background): “…and extinction, we can better understand the dynamics of biological diversity through time, across geographic and environmental gradients (Mittelbach et al., 2007; Rabosky, Title, & Huang, 2015; Ricklefs, 2006; Silvestro, Schnitzler, & Zizka, 2011; Zink, Klicka, & Barber, 2004), and in…”
Global analysis of bird elevational diversity (2009, background): “Speciation rates, extinction rates, clade age and phylogenetic niche conservatism are theoretically linked and, in some cases, empirically linked to diversity (e.g. Rohde, 1992; Allen et al. , 2002; Stephens & Wiens, 2003; Wiens et al., 2006; Mittelbach et al. , 2007).”
Biome stability in South America over the last 30 kyr: Inferences from long‐term vegetation dynamics and habitat modelling (2018, background): “Such biome shifts cause massive population fluctuations and community reshuffling (Pavelkova Ricankova, Robovsky, & Riegert, 2014), catalyse speciation and extinction, and thus ultimately, influence net diversification rates (Mittelbach et al., 2007; Weir & Schluter, 2007).”
Odd man out: why are there fewer plant species in African rain forests? (2014, background): “Keywords Odd man out Neotropics South-East Asia Diversification rates Extinction Fossil record Biogeography Palms”
Phylogenetic beta diversity: linking ecological and evolutionary processes across space in time. (2008, background): “For example, biotic interactions are considered to be stronger in tropical than in extra-tropical systems (Dobzhansky 1950; Coley & Barone 1996; Mittelbach et al. 2007).”
SESAM – a new framework integrating macroecological and species distribution models for predicting spatio‐temporal patterns of species assemblages (2011, background): “The main controlling factors are typically hypothesized to be available energy, environmental heterogeneity, disturbance or history, with scale effects and some level of stochasticity (Whittaker et al., 2001; Currie et al., 2004; Mittelbach et al., 2007; Field et al., 2009; Gotelli et al., 2009).”
