• The partitioning of Africa: statistically defined biogeographical regions in sub‐Saharan Africa (2012, methodology): “The non-hierarchical or partitioning algorithm, k-means, has been used recently for clustering grid cells into biogeographical zones (Heikinheimo et al., 2007; Rueda et al., 2010), but the a priori specification of the number of groups to be found by the algorithm and the inability to determine the…”
• Identifying global zoogeographical regions: lessons from Wallace (2013, background): “…scale have also demonstrated that biogeographical units for vertebrate groups based on species are partly determined by climate and habitat (Heikinheimo et al., 2007; Rueda et al., 2010), which also suggests linkages between biological traits and patterns of regionalization at finer…”

• A framework for delineating biogeographical regions based on species distributions (2010, methodology): “…arbitrary stopping rules have been employed, e.g. a minimum number of grid cells per cluster (Williams et al., 1999), a certain level of dissimilarity (de Klerk et al., 2002; Procheş, 2005) or external criteria such as the number of bioclimatic regions in a study area (Heikinheimo et al., 2007).”
• Partitioning taxon, phylogenetic and functional beta diversity into replacement and richness difference components (2014, background): “The analysis of brepl alone presents a different perspective from this and from Heikinheimo et al. (2007), with southern Europe being divided into three areas, roughly corresponding to the Mediterranean peninsulas.”
• Towards a biogeographic regionalization of the European biota (2010, methodology): “First and foremost, the claim by Heikinheimo et al. (2007) that Europe retains spatially cohesive biogeographic subregions based on the distributions of mammals holds for all plant and animal taxa we examined.”
