Correlative and mechanistic models of species distribution provide congruent forecasts under climate change (2010, background): “Biophysical ecology; species distribution modeling; geographical information systems; fundamental niche; realized niche; microclimate; physiological ecology.”
Mechanistic niche modelling: combining physiological and spatial data to predict species' ranges. (2009, methodology): “fundamental niche in the broadest sense ( Kearney & Porter 2004; Kearney 2006).”
Niche Conservatism: Integrating Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation Biology (2005, background): “…also set the stage for future observational and experimental studies to test how exactly this climatic variable interacts with the biology of the organism to set geographic range limits [e.g., physiological tolerances and interactions with other species (Gross & Price 2000, Kearney & Porter 2004)].”
Predicting organismal vulnerability to climate warming: roles of behaviour, physiology and adaptation (2012, background): “Thermal heterogeneity is limited at night and at all times beneath the canopy in heavily forested areas [128,150], except in clearings and in sun ﬂecks.”
Microclimate modelling at macro scales: a test of a general microclimate model integrated with gridded continental‐scale soil and weather data (2014, methodology): “One microclimate model which has been used in landscape-scale calculations of the physiological impacts of cli- mate (e.g. Porter et al. 2002; Kearney & Porter 2004; Natori & Porter 2007; Kearney et al. 2008; Mitchell et al. 2008, 2013;*Correspondence author.”
No silver bullets in correlative ecological niche modelling: insights from testing among many potential algorithms for niche estimation (2015, background): “Although powerful alternative approaches exist (Porter et al. 2002; Kearney & Porter 2004; Buckley 2008; Kearney, Wintle & Porter 2010), large numbers of studies use correlative approaches derived from comparisons of primary species occurrence data with geospatial data summarizing environmental…”
Local climatic changes affect biodiversity responses to land use: A review (2019, background): “Species active during the day are more likely to be ex‐ posed to stress‐inducing high temperatures compared to nocturnal species, who instead may face extremes of cold (Kearney & Porter, 2004; Kearney et al., 2009; Navas, 1997).”
The sizes of species’ geographic ranges (2009, methodology): “2002; Kearney & Porter 2004; Morin, Augspurger & Chuine 2007).”
Grinnellian and Eltonian niches and geographic distributions of species. (2007, background): “Estimation of NF remains a thorny practical problem that probably can be solved only by resorting to direct experimental measures of intrinsic growth rates, or to first-principle models (Porter et al. 2002; Pearson & Dawson 2003; Kearny & Porter 2004; Kearny 2006).”
Predicting distributions of invasive species (2013, background): “Examples of applications include Kearney and Porter (2004), Kearney et al. (2008, 2010) and Porter et al. (2002).”
The potential for behavioral thermoregulation to buffer “cold-blooded” animals against climate warming (2009, methodology): “We consider diurnal species because they are more likely to encounter stressfully high body temperatures during their active period than are nocturnal species (7).”
Mechanistic and Correlative Models of Ecological Niches (2015, methodology): “…has had to find some means of approximating the fundamental niche, which has included simple assumption and postulation of niche size, position, and shape (Godsoe 2010); niches derived from mechanistic models (Kearney & Porter 2004); and niches estimated by correlational means (Schurr et al. 2012).”
Feeling the heat: Australian landbirds and climate change (2012, background): “…taxon-specific physiological data in order to map the fundamental niche, that is the hypothetical maximum extent of a taxon’s spatial distribution determined entirely by interactions between its physiology and physical conditions coupled with resource availability (Kearney and Porter 2004, 2009).”
