Conservation Biogeography: assessment and prospect (2005, background): “The existence of a ‘small island’ effect appears well established (Lomolino 2000, 2002; Lomolino & Weiser, 2001), and thus must have some influence on z-values in standard linear SPAR regressions, but Williamson et al. (2001, 2002) contend that there is no evidence of an upper asymptote.”
The island species–area relationship: biology and statistics (2012, background): “…rich source of debate and potential confusion, with different authors favouring alternative classifications and nomenclature of relationship types (Lomolino, 2000; Scheiner, 2003, 2004, 2009; Gray et al., 2004a,b; Williamson et al., 2001, 2002; Tjørve, 2003, 2009; Whittaker & Fernández-Palacios,…”
Using the Species-Area Relationship to Set Baseline Targets for Conservation (2004, methodology): “The meaning of k is debatable (Gould 1979, Lomolino 2000, 2001), but we will not discuss this here.”
Assemblage‐level responses of phyllostomid bats to tropical forest fragmentation: land‐bridge islands as a model system (2008, background): “Small-island effects may become apparent at a range of island sizes where resource levels are insufficient to maintain populations of most species and where habitat characteristics, episodic disturbances, and isolation are much more likely to determine how many and which species are able to maintain”
Which function describes the species–area relationship best? A review and empirical evaluation (2009, background): “Increasing species richness (S) with increasing area of investigation (A) is one of the most fundamental ‘laws’ in ecology (Schoener, 1976; Lawton, 1999; Lomolino, 2000).”
Rarefaction method for assessing plant species diversity on a regional scale (2004, methodology): “Rarefaction function with fitting procedure for constructing species area relationships The nonlinear shape of species area relationships has been widely discussed (Arrhenius 1921, Connor and McCoy 1979, Connor et al. 1983, Lomolino 2000, Williamson et al. 2001, Tjørve 2002b).”
Scaling laws predict global microbial diversity (2016, background): “Among the most widely known are the scaling of metabolic rate (B) with body size (M), B = BoM (13) and the rate at which numbers of species (S) scale with 62 area (A), S = cA (16).”
The species–area relationship does not have an asymptote! (2001, background): “In one of a stimulating set of Millennium guest editorials in the Journal of Biogeography, there is a remarkable statement by Lomolino (2000) `The actual form of the (species±area) relationship may differ fundamentally from that predicted by conventional models'.”
A model for the species–area–habitat relationship (2003, background): “S ¼ cAze)kA (Plotkin et al., 2000) and S ¼ Smax/[1+HillslopeLog(A50/A)], Lomolino (2000).”
The formation of species pools: historical habitat abundance affects current local diversity (2011, background): “Many studies have reported positive relationships between habitat area and species diversity (Lomolino, 2000; Bellwood & Hughes, 2001; Triantis et al., 2008), but because of confounding effects of evolutionary history, dispersal limitation and local ecological factors like heterogeneity of the…”
Towards a more general species–area relationship: diversity on all islands, great and small (2001, background): “Ó Blackwell Science Ltd 2001, Journal of Biogeography, 28, 431±445 the senior author (Lomolino, 2000) to focus our attention on key thresholds of the species±area relationship (Fig.”
