• Species' borders: A unifying theme in ecology (2005, unknown): “Ultimately, one should aim for developing fully dynamic models, describing the parameters and functional forms of spatially explicit population dynamic models (Maurer and Taper 2002, Holt et al. this issue), and linking these to computational and statistical predictive models.”
• Theoretical models of species' borders: single species approaches (2005, unknown): “If environmental conditions are near the edge of a species’ niche, density-dependence may also be strong (e.g. if resources are scarce, competition may be intense; Maurer and Taper 2002), and species may be more sensitive to variation in the environment.”
• Niche differentiation in Mexican birds: using point occurrences to detect ecological innovation (2003, background): “Lawton et al. 1994; Maurer & Taper 2002 ) and evolutionary biology (e.g.”
• A unified theory for macroecology based on spatial patterns of abundance (2003, background): “Ultimately, theory and testing about these mechanisms must be traced to population dynamics (Maurer, 1994; Maurer and Taper, 2002 ).”
• On the evolutionary ecology of species' ranges (2003, background): “Maurer and Taper (2002) argue that low-density peripheral populations may typically be more unstable and extinction-prone than central populations.”
• Spatial pattern of genetic and morphological diversity in the direct developer Acanthina monodon (Gastropoda: Mollusca) (2011, background): “Second, because marginal habitats are less suitable than those in the middle of the distribution range, the individual fitness and population growth rate will be lower at the periphery than in the centre of the distribution (Maurer & Taper 2002).”
• Empirical Evidence for the Scale Dependence of Biotic Interactions (2015, background): “It is widely acknowledged that ecological processes are scale dependent (Levin, 1992; Schneider, 2001; Maurer & Taper, 2002; McGill, 2010; Belmaker & Jetz, 2011).”
• Testing the predictive performance of distribution models (2013, unknown): “…2007, McPherson and Jetz 2007), scale (Storch and Gaston 2004, Araújo et al. 2005b, Betts et al. 2006), and spatio-temporal variability/population dynamics/equilibrium (Johnson et al.1992, Maurer and Taper 2002, Svenning and Skov 2007), to name the most prominent distribution modelling issues.”
