A framework for evaluating the influence of climate, dispersal limitation, and biotic interactions using fossil pollen associations across the late Quaternary (2014, neutral): “However, the eff ects of environment, dispersal, and history become progressively more important at larger spatial and temporal scales, and it is diffi cult to untangle them from the eff ects of species interactions (Ricklefs 2004).”
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology. (2009, background): “…to link short-term local processes to continental and global processes that occur over deep evolutionary time scales (Losos 1996; Ackerly 2003; Ricklefs 2004; Pennington et al. 2006; Mittelbach et al. 2007; Swenson et al. 2007; Donoghue 2008; Emerson & Gillespie 2008; Graham & Fine 2008).”
Cross-scale variation in species richness–environment associations (2011, background): “…assumed that contemporary and past environment are major controls of coarse grain richness, while disturbance, stochastic processes and biotic interactions dampen the strength of environment–richness associations at smaller grains (Whittaker et al., 2001; Ricklefs, 2004; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004).”
Species distribution models and ecological theory: A critical assessment and some possible new approaches (2007, background): “Two important aspects of scale are extent and resolution (Whittaker et al., 2001; Huston, 2002; Ricklefs, 2004; Guisan and Thuiller, 2005).”
Habitat suitability modelling and niche theory (2008, neutral): “The synthesis of these contradictory viewpoints is beginning (Chave 2004; Ricklefs 2004; Tilman 2004), and HSMs no doubt have an important role to play.”
Using functional and phylogenetic diversity to infer avian community assembly along elevational gradients (2019, neutral): “Understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity along environmental gradients and the mechanisms driving them is a main focus in ecol‐ ogy (Hillebrand, 2004; Ricklefs, 2004; Swenson, 2011).”
Angiosperms Helped Put the Rain in the Rainforests: The Impact of Plant Physiological Evolution on Tropical Biodiversity1 (2010, neutral): “…each of these factors is widely debated, as is whether they promote tropical diversity through the creation of a cradle of high species origination rates or a museum of low extinction rates (Givnish, 1999; Hubbell, 2001; Condit et al., 2002; Leigh et al., 2004; Ricklefs, 2004; Zhou & Zhang, 2008).”
Species interactions and thermal constraints on ant community structure (2010, neutral): “At large spatial scales, historical processes determine properties of the regional species pool (Ricklefs 2004), which in turn infl uence the composition of local communities (Webb et al.”
The global diversity of birds in space and time (2012, methodology): “(2) Relaxed-clock trees were generated for each clade from sequence data.”
The elevational gradient in Andean bird species richness at the local scale: a foothill peak and a high‐elevation plateau (2005, background): “As yet, no comprehensive theoretical framework exists for the mechanisms involved in productivityrichness relationships (Currie et al. 1999, Ricklefs 2004).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Drivers of Geographic Variation in Species Diversity (2015, neutral): “One of the fundamental insights of the past 25 years is that regional diversity and local diversity have a hierarchical relationship (Ricklefs 1987, 2004; Webb et al. 2002).”
Biome Shifts and Niche Evolution in Plants (2014, background): “Although we can trace a thread of important contributions to this theory (e.g., Herrera 1992, Ackerly 2003, Ricklefs 2004, Wiens & Donoghue 2004, Pennington et al. 2006, Futuyma 2010), much remains to be done.”
