Nestedness of Southern Ocean island biotas: ecological perspectives on a biogeographical conundrum (2004, background): “However, the ranges of higher taxonomic levels, such as genera, are likely to remain more stable than those of species (Cutler, 1998; Wright et al., 1998; Gaston & Chown, 1999; Ricklefs & Bermingham, 2002).”
Extinction patterns in the avifauna of the Hawaiian islands (2008, background): “This pattern may reflect the coevolution of birds and plants and the resulting specialization of many native birds on particular plant species, consistent with a taxon-cycle (Ricklefs & Bermingham, 2002; Duncan & Blackburn, 2004).”
A roadmap for island biology: 50 fundamental questions after 50 years of The Theory of Island Biogeography (2017, background): “Several models of island biogeography have either implicitly (the taxon cycle, see Ricklefs & Bermingham, 2002) or explicitly (the general dynamic model, Whittaker et al., 2008) related the single island endemic status of species to increased extinction probability relative to other species on the…”
Island, archipelago and taxon effects: mixed models as a means of dealing with the imperfect design of nature's experiments (2012, methodology): “An alternative explanation is the taxon cycle model as described by Ricklefs and colleagues (Ricklefs and Cox 1972, Ricklefs and Bermingham 2002); perhaps old endemic species on the oldest islands are most susceptible to immigration of new colonists and the diseases that they carry.”
Adaptation and diversification on islands (2009, background): “…provided the best evidence for taxon cycles, confirmed the temporal sequence of the distribution patterns that represent expansion and contraction phases, and strongly suggested that the cycles are generated by co-evolutionary relationships between species and their predators and pathogens 71 .”
Contemporary evolution, allelic recycling, and adaptive radiation of the threespine stickleback (2013, background): “Oceanic threespine stickleback represent a phenotypically conservative ‘supertramp’ (Diamond, 1974) that has frequently colonized new freshwater habitats, and their predictable ecological and phenotypic divergence after freshwater colonization represents a taxon cycle (Wilson, 1961; Ricklefs and Ber”
