Global patterns of amphibian phylogenetic diversity (2012, background): “Possibly also due to this issue, previous studies have often reported extreme MRD values in relatively species-poor regions (e.g. Fjeldså & Rahbek, 2006; Hawkins et al., 2006).”
The Canaries: an important biogeographical meeting place (2008, background): “In this Special Issue, Svenning et al. (2008) provide an illustration of a further recent development (Hawkins et al., 2006), integrating evolutionary structure with the spatial analysis in their examination of palm species richness gradients across the New World.”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “In some instances one or more of the component clades themselves do not seem to demonstrate the overall pattern, or do so much less strongly (Astorga et al., 2003; Real et al., 2003; Hawkins et al., 2006), whilst in other cases all clades behave in a similar fashion.”
Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography. (2007, background): “Hawkins et al. (2006) also find evidence that the latitudinal gradient in New World bird species diversity is influenced by the differential extirpation of older, warm-adapted clades from temperate climates.”
Quaternary climate changes explain diversity among reptiles and amphibians (2008, background): “Despite attempts to merge the two hypotheses into a single framework (Ricklefs 2004, Hawkins et al. 2005, 2006, Whittaker et al. 2007), comparative testing of the ‘‘contemporary’’ and ‘‘historic’’ climate hypotheses has been hampered by the difficulties in generating quantitative estimates of…”
Climatic history and dispersal ability explain the relative importance of turnover and nestedness components of beta diversity (2012, background): “These other processes could have acted over evolutionary time, and could have included niche conservatism (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004), climate changes over a longer time-scale (Hawkins et al., 2006), the effect of time and area or differences in the diversification rates (Mittelbach et al., 2007).”
Global angiosperm family richness revisited: linking ecology and evolution to climate (2011, background): “Phylogenetic patterns consistent with this prediction have recently been documented for a number of animal groups (Hawkins et al., 2005, 2006, 2007a; Wiens et al., 2006, 2009; Hawkins & DeVries, 2009; Hawkins, 2010).”
Spatial species‐richness gradients across scales: a meta‐analysis (2009, background): “Given the strong arguments in the literature about the likely importance of historical contingency for species richness (e.g. Latham & Ricklefs, 1993; McGlone, 1996; Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Hawkins et al., 2006; Mittelbach et al., 2007), our results may be considered surprising.”
High tropical net diversification drives the New World latitudinal gradient in palm (Arecaceae) species richness (2008, methodology): “We did not normalize the MRD values using the z-score approach of Hawkins et al. (2005, 2006), as changing sample size (here, species richness) does not change the estimate of the mean in random samples (e.g. MRD).”
Unifying measures of biodiversity: understanding when richness and phylogenetic diversity should be congruent (2013, background): “Symmetrical trees may be more likely in regions in which rates of extinction and speciation are relatively similar or more stable, such as in the tropics (Hawkins et al., 2006; Weir & Schluter, 2007).”
Life on a tropical planet: niche conservatism and the global diversity gradient (2013, result): “In parallel, the results of empirical studies have been interpreted in accordance with the expectation of the tropical niche conservatism hypothesis for continental and global distributions of birds (Gaston & Blackburn, 1996; Hawkins et al., 2005, 2006, 2007).”
Different evolutionary histories underlie congruent species richness gradients of birds and mammals (2012, methodology): “…in the timing of the origin and spread of clades (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Jablonski et al., 2006; Wiens et al., 2006, 2009; Krug et al., 2009) and variable diversification rates (Hawkins et al., 2006, 2007; Mittelbach et al., 2007; Weir & Schluter, 2007; Wiens, 2007; Jansson & Davies, 2008).”
Global patterns in the divergence between phylogenetic diversity and species richness in terrestrial birds (2017, background): “These old lineages occur more frequently in the Neotropical and Afrotropical regions, which harbour large numbers of basal taxa (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Hawkins et al., 2006, 2007).”
Tropical niche conservatism and the species richness gradient of North American butterflies (2009, methodology): “…references therein) and historical processes generating geographical variation in the origin of clades (e.g. Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Jablonski et al., 2006) and speciation/ extinction rates (e.g. Hawkins et al., 2006, 2007a; Mittelbach et al., 2007; Weir & Schluter, 2007; Jansson & Davies, 2008).”
