Effects of marginality on plant population performance (2014, background): “Furthermore, when peripheral populations are exposed to harsh conditions, the environment may select for individuals that are adapted to local conditions, which increases adaptive phenotypic plasticity (Sexton et al., 2009).”
Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches to Forecasting Species' Responses to Climate Change (2012, background): “Common garden experiments provide essential information on how locally adapted traits interact with the environment to determine performance and demography (e.g., Sexton et al. 2009).”
The Mechanisms and Consequences of Interspecific Competition Among Plants (2016, background): “Although studies have evaluated the extent to which interspecific competition might limit distributional patterns of plants (Sexton et al. 2009), more experimental tests are needed.”
Causes of warm‐edge range limits: systematic review, proximate factors and implications for climate change (2014, background): “First, we repeated the search of Sexton et al. (2009) on causes of range limits.”
A quantitative synthesis of the importance of variables used in MaxEnt species distribution models (2017, background): “There is considerable support for the importance of environmental variables in limiting species distributions (Sexton et al., 2009; Wiens, 2011), including evidence of reduced species’ performance outside of their native ranges (Wiens, 2011; Hargreaves et al.”
How climate extremes—not means—define a species' geographic range boundary via a demographic tipping point (2014, background): “6 E-mail: heather.lynch@stonybrook.edu 131 boundaries (Caughley et al. 1988, Gaston 2009, Sexton et al. 2009).”
Climatic niche at physiological and macroecological scales: the thermal tolerance–geographical range interface and niche dimensionality (2014, background): “Many factors govern the species’ distributional range, but how they combine to define range boundaries are still poorly understood (Pulliam, 2000; Gaston, 2003; Sexton et al., 2009).”
The importance of biotic interactions in species distribution models: a test of the Eltonian noise hypothesis using parrots (2014, background): “Species distributions are complex biological phenomena and many factors interact to determine a species’ geographical range (Sexton et al., 2009).”
Climate change and elevational range shifts: Evidence from dung beetles in two European mountain ranges (2014, background): “The contribution of precipitation to dung beetle range shifts thus remains unclear, although if both abiotic and biotic factors are important in shaping warm distribution limits of species (Sexton et al., 2009), then the disappearance of species from lowlands could have resulted in a release from co”
Biogeography and conservation in Southeast Asia: how 2.7 million years of repeated environmental fluctuations affect today’s patterns and the future of the remaining refugial-phase biodiversity (2010, background): “Elsewhere, conservationists are focusing more attention on small populations at the geographic edges of species ranges, as these are the ones relevant to tracking adaptation to change and also the ones at greatest risk of extirpation (Kawecki 2008; Sexton et al. 2009).”
Physiological Correlates of Geographic Range in Animals (2011, background): “Finally, the question of why a species or population has a restricted distribution, given its present physiological traits, is still puzzling (Kirkpatrick & Barton 1997, Sexton et al. 2009).”
