Mechanisms in macroecology: AWOL or purloined letter? Towards a pragmatic view of mechanism (2010, background): “Similarly, several authors (Hawkins and Diniz-Filho 2002, Connolly et al. 2003, Kerr et al. 2006) have shown that random placement alone is not enough to fully explain variations in diversity across landscapes.”
The elevational gradient in Andean bird species richness at the local scale: a foothill peak and a high‐elevation plateau (2005, background): “Raaijmakers 1987, Keating and Quinn 1998). For species-rich neotropical bird data sets, MMMean was the least biased of nine estimators evaluated by Herzog et al. (2002), but a drawback of MMMean is that no statistically sensible variance estimator exists (Colwell and Coddington 1994, Colwell pers.”
The Mid‐Domain Effect: There’s a Baby in the Bathwater (2005, methodology): “In a recent article (Colwell et al. 2004; hereafter CRG), we reviewed all studies of the mid-domain effect (MDE) published up to that time and responded to earlier critiques of MDE by (among others) Hawkins and Diniz-Filho (2002) and Zapata et al. (2003).”
Distribution pattern of trees along an elevation gradient of Eastern Himalaya, India (2011, unknown): “MDE received none or limited support from many other studies on various plant groups (Carpenter, 2005; Grau et al., 2007) as well as faunal communities (Hawkins and Diniz-Filho, 2002; Rangel and DinizFilho, 2003; Zapata et al., 2003; Li et al., 2009; Rowe, 2009).”
Beta diversity and latitude in North American mammals: testing the hypothesis of covariation (2004, background): “However, current models cannot explain satisfactorily the observed spatial patterns for some continents (Bokma et al. 2001, Hawkins and Diniz-Filho 2002) and some of the more basic features of those patterns are still insufficiently explored (Zapata et al. 2003).”
