Influence of phylogeny and ploidy on species ranges of North American angiosperms (2009, background): “Little or no evidence of phylogenetic signal was found in studies of geographic ranges for neotropical bats (Arita 1993), new world carnivores (Diniz-Filho & Torres 2002), new world venomous snakes (Reed 2003) or South-East Asian hawkmoths (Beck, Kitching & Linsenmair 2006), but those investigating…”
Life‐history traits are correlated with geographical distribution patterns of western European forest herb species (2007, background): “Journal compilation ª 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2000; Diniz-Filho & Torres, 2002; Hausdorf, 2003; Hamilton et al., 2005).”
Optimal foraging constrains macroecological patterns: body size and dietary niche breadth in lizards (2008, methodology): “Indeed, some studies have shown that, under extreme deviations from Brownian motion, PIC can be too conservative (i.e. Diniz-Filho & Tôrres, 2002), although the method seems to perform quite well when violations in this assumption are moderate (Martins et al ., 2002).”
Chronic exposure to low-dose radiation at Chernobyl favours adaptation to oxidative stress in birds (2014, methodology): “Diniz-Filho & Torres (2002) and Martins, Diniz-Filho & Housworth (2002) tested several comparative methods (Felsenstein’s independent contrasts, autoregressive method, PVR and phylogenetic generalized least squares) and found that PVR yields good statistical performance regardless of the details of…”
Interspecific competition and predation in American carnivore families (2008, background): “There are however, distinct and welldocumented macroecological patterns in ecosystem productivity and mammalian physiology and behaviour that are correlated with latitude (i.e. Badgley & Fox 2000, silva et al. 2001, diniz-FilHo & torres 2002).”
Does size matter for dispersal distance (2007, methodology): “Though phylogenetic constraints have been found to be important for range–body size comparisons of some taxa (Diniz-Filho & Torres, 2002), we did not employ them because the hypotheses of Finlay (2002) and Martiny et al. (2006) were strictly based on size (i.e. phylogenetic differences were not…”
On the selection of phylogenetic eigenvectors for ecological analyses (2012, methodology): “…adding eigenvectors until the Moran ’ s I of residuals becomes non-signifi cant or reach values below a defi ned critical level (Diniz-Filho and T ô rres 2002) is an initial option, and relatively easy to compute, but it is much less eff ective than other more computationally intense approaches,…”
Biases in the current knowledge of threat status in lizards, and bridging the ‘assessment gap’ (2016, unknown): “…(range size, the B criteria) is probably the trait that is under theweakest phylogenetic inertia (range sizes are also not shared froma commonancestor, aremuchmore labile thanmost traits, and often have little if any phylogenetic signal (e.g., Diniz-Filho and Torres, 2002; Raia et al., 2011).”
Phylogenetic approaches in comparative physiology (2005, methodology): “…GLS methods were promoted by other workers (Martins and Hansen, 1997; Butler et al., 2000; Garland and Ives, 2000; Rohlf, 2001) and are now becoming a routine comparative tool (e.g. see Diniz-Filho and Torres, 2002; Freckleton et al., 2002; Blomberg et al., 2003; Housworth et al., 2004).”
