Evolution, biogeography, and patterns of diversification in passerine birds (2003, background): “Many sedentary groups of Corvida live in dense vegetation and have a limited dispersal behaviour, which explains why they have not spread far outside the Australo-Papuan region (Mayr and Diamond 2001).”
Why Seychelles Warblers fail to recolonize nearby islands : unwilling or unable to fly there? (2004, background): “This phenomenon of ‘psychological ﬂightlessness’ occurs in other species that are capable of sustained ﬂight (Diamond 1981, Raikow 1985).”
Species taxonomy of birds: Which null hypothesis? (2014, background): “Historically recent range expansions or replacements of locally extinct (sink) populations are responsible for the lack of genetic population structure of many widespread, seemingly highly mobile species (Diamond 1980, Mayr and Diamond 2001, Clegg and Phillimore 2010).”
Gulliver travels to the fragmented tropics: geographic variation in mechanisms of avian extinction (2005, background): “In contrast, dispersal limitation is a longstanding hypothesis among tropical ornithologists (Wallace 1853; Willis 1974; Mayr and Diamond 2001).”
Why be amphidromous: expatrial dispersal and the place of source and sink population dynamics? (2010, unknown): “Are, then, the amphidromous fishes of the islands of the tropics, subtropics, and perhaps even further into temperate latitudes, the piscine equivalents of the ‘super-tramp’ birds of which Mayr and Diamond (2001) write for the islands of northern Melanesia?”
