When does diversity fit null model predictions? Scale and range size mediate the mid‐domain effect (2007, background): “Finally, in those large-scale analyses where environmental variables were explicitly incorporated into multivariate analyses, mid-domain null models remain significant predictors of diversity (Jetz & Rahbek, 2001, 2002).”
The Mid‐Domain Effect and Species Richness Patterns:What Have We Learned So Far? (2004, methodology): “…as the domain for their study of rainforest fauna, McCain (2003) defined the limits of her rodent study by the limits of the desert biome, Jetz and Rahbek (2001, 2002) restricted their analyses to the distribution of birds in sub-Saharan Africa, and Laurie and Silander (2002) focused on…”

Basin-wide variations in foliar properties of Amazonian forest: phylogeny, soils and climate. (2009, background): “Previous spatial analyses of ecological datasets have revealed that in some cases small neighbourhood distances (first-order) SAR models are able to remove the spatial autocorrelation signal (Jetz and Rahbek, 2002), while other studies suggest that larger neighbourhood (higher-order) SARs should be ”
Spatial autocorrelation and the selection of simultaneous autoregressive models (2007, background): “…for decades in the statistical literature (Besag, 1974; Cliff & Ord, 1981), their application in ecology and species distribution research has been limited up to now (e.g. Jetz & Rahbek, 2002; Keitt et al. , 2002; Lichstein et al. , 2002; Dark, 2004; Tognelli & Kelt, 2004; Kissling et al. , 2007).”
Altitudinal patterns of seed plant richness in the Gaoligong Mountains, south‐east Tibet, China (2007, methodology): “…patterns, several hypotheses have been proposed during the last decades, which concern energy and water availability (Currie, 1991; Heaney, 2001; Hawkins et al ., 2003, 2005), habitat heterogeneity (Jetz & Rahbek, 2002), evolutionary history (Ricklefs et al ., 1999), and area (Rahbek, 1997).”
Vascular epiphyte distribution patterns: explaining the mid‐elevation richness peak (2006, methodology): “We repeated these analyses for large and small ranges, separately, to compare the role of candidate predictors for range size classes (following Jetz & Rahbek 2002).”
The significance of geographic range size for spatial diversity patterns in Neotropical palms (2006, methodology): “Hence, our results on palms support generality of the notion that conventional approaches disregarding effects of range size are limited to approximate the causative explanations for a majority of species (Jetz and Rahbek 2002, Lennon et al. 2004).”
Bird dietary guild richness across latitudes, environments and biogeographic regions (2012, background): “…et al., 2009); (5) altitudinal range (TOPO, i.e. the difference between maximum and minimum elevation) as a measure of topographic heterogeneity (Jetz & Rahbek, 2002); and (6) the number of vegetation classes (i.e. habitat diversity, HAB) as an indicator of habitat heterogeneity (Olson et al.,…”
Climatic niche shifts between species' native and naturalized ranges raise concern for ecological forecasts during invasions and climate change (2014, background): “Biogeographical studies suggest that the distributions of small-ranged species are less climatically determined than those of widespread species, but the evidence for this conclusion is generally indirect (Jetz & Rahbek, 2002; Baselga et al., 2012).”
