• Mammals on mountainsides : elevational patterns of diversity (2001, background): “Nor (2001) on Mt Kinabalu, Borneo, and Rickart (2001) on the Intermountain West of the United States provide case studies that document the distributions of mammals on mountainsides and evaluate the mechanisms that may have caused the observed patterns.”
• The mid‐domain effect applied to elevational gradients: species richness of small mammals in Costa Rica (2004, unknown): “Nor, 2001; Rickart, 2001; Sánchez-Cordero, 2001).”
• Isolation and introgression in the Intermountain West: contrasting gene genealogies reveal the complex biogeographic history of the American pika (Ochotona princeps) (2010, background): “Furthermore, despite some broad-scale patterns of phylogeographic concordance suggesting concerted responses to historical climatic events, ample evidence shows that species also exhibited many individual responses to climate change (Lawlor, 1998; Rickart, 2001; Grayson, 2006).”
• The Late Quaternary biogeographic histories of some Great Basin mammals (western USA) (2006, background): “The complexity of small mammal distributions within the Great Basin have made this region the focus of innovative and influential biogeographic research (e.g., Brown, 1971; Lawlor, 1998; Rickart, 2001).”
• Using subsets of species in biodiversity surveys (2007, background): “Butterflies Grassland Boulder, Colorado, USA ‘Site’ 66 58 Oliver, Prudic & Collinge (2006) Reptiles Dry tropical forest Neotropics Ecoregion 20 1126 World Wildlife Fund (2006) Birds Lakes Eastern USA Lake 214 179 USEPA (1996b) Small mammals Alpine Great Basin, USA Mountain range 21 30 Rickart (2001”
• Global analysis of bird elevational diversity (2009, background): “Regional richness may be highly influenced by area (Rahbek , 1997, 2005; Brown , 2001; Lomolino , 2001; Willig et al ., 2003; McCain , 2005, 2007b), and may have significant sampling biases (Rickart , 2001).”
• Contemporary climate change alters the pace and drivers of extinction (2011, background): “Inadequate information exists on elevational distributions of mammals and other taxa, for any geographical region (Stevens, 1992; Rickart, 2001).”
• Small mammal responses to environmental change: integrating past and present dynamics (2014, background): “The modern small mammal fauna of the Great Basin is diverse (approximately 40 species of shrews and rodents, dependent upon the boundaries used to define the region), with local communities varying dramatically over space and time (e.g., Zeveloff 1988; Grayson 2000b; Rickart 2001).”
• Range dynamics of small mammals along an elevational gradient over an 80‐year interval (2009, background): “These species can be classified based on microhabitat occupancy (Brown, 1971; Grayson, 2000; Rickart, 2001; Rowe, 2007) as mesic specialists (12 species), xeric specialists (8), or habitat generalists (7).”
• Could temperature and water availability drive elevational species richness patterns? A global case study for bats (2006, background): “, 2003; McCain, 2005), and may have significant sampling biases (Rickart, 2001).”
• Distribution, species diversity and life-form spectra of plant communities along an altitudinal gradient in the northern slopes of Qilianshan Mountains, Gansu, China (2003, background): “Many studies reported that diversity peaks at intermediate elevations, e.g., in tropical rain forests (Lieberman et al. 1996; Vazquez García and Givnish 1998; Zimmerman et al. 1999) or in small mammals (Heaney 2001; Rickart 2001; Md.”
• Variation in plant species richness of different life forms along a subtropical elevation gradient in the Himalayas, east Nepal (2003, background): “However, Rahbek (1995) has shown that many studies have a low to mid-altitude peak in species richness (e.g. Whittaker, 1960; Shmida & Wilson, 1985; Lieberman et al., 1996; Heaney, 2001; Md. Nor, 2001; Rickart, 2001; Sánchez-Cordero, 2001).”
