Spatial autocorrelation and red herrings in geographical ecology (2003, background): “…are known to be associated with regional-scale diversity gradients (see Turner et al ., 1987; Currie, 1991; Kerr et al ., 1998; Kerr & Packer, 1999; Lennon et al ., 2000; Rahbek & Graves, 2001) were compiled from various sources: (1) annual potential evapotranspiration (PET); (2) annual actual…”
Distribution patterns in butterflies and birds of the Czech Republic: separating effects of habitat and geographical position (2003, background): “…for birds is generally less clear, although temperature, for example, has been revealed as the most important correlate of bird species richness in Great Britain (Lennon et al., 2000), and the effect of weather on reproductive parameters of bird populations is obvious (e.g. Sillett et al., 2000).”
A comprehensive framework for global patterns in biodiversity (2004, background): “…correlations between diversity and local ecological conditions were consistent with the idea that local interactions constrain diversity, and they therefore seemed to provide a sufficient explanation (Turner et al. 1987; Currie 1991; Wright et al. 1993; Lennon et al. 2000; Whittaker & Field 2000).”
Distribution patterns of boreal marshland birds: modelling the relationships to land cover and climate (2005, background): “However, it is important to select climatic variables into the model in a way that their relationship with the distribution patterns of the target species are as ecologically plausible as possible (see Turner et al., 1988; Lennon et al., 2000; Lemoine & Böhning-Gaese, 2003).”
Relative influences of current and historical factors on mammal and bird diversity patterns in deglaciated North America (2003, result): “The overriding importance of energy is congruent with previous studies focused on vertebrates in the far northern latitudes (Terent’ev, 1963; Heggberget, 1987; Currie, 1991; Lennon et al ., 2000; Hawkins et al . in press b).”
Urbanization and homogenization – Comparing the floras of urban and rural areas in Germany (2006, methodology): “We chose a medium grain for our analysis, this was successful in answering many ecological questions about distribution pattern and environment with different focus and similar extent (countries of comparable size) than this analysis (Heikkinen et al., 1998; Roy et al., 1999; Lennon et al., 2000, 2”
Water–energy balance and the geographic pattern of species richness of western Palearctic butterflies (2003, background): “…et al., 1998; O’Brien et al., 1998, 2000; Kerr & Currie, 1999; Kerr & Packer, 1999; Rutherford et al., 1999; Badgley & Fox, 2000; Boone & Krohn, 2000; Lennon et al., 2000; Balmford et al., 2001; Rahbek & Graves, 2001; van Rensburg et al., 2002; Hawkins &Porter, 2003; Francis &Currie, 2003).”
PRODUCTIVITY AND HISTORY AS PREDICTORS OF THE LATITUDINAL DIVERSITY GRADIENT OF TERRESTRIAL BIRDS (2003, background): “…bird diversity gradients are congruent with those of a wide range of taxa, supporting the idea that ambient energy is the ultimate limiting factor for most terrestrial organisms above ;508 N (Turner et al. 1987, 1988, Currie 1991, Kerr et al. 1998, Kerr and Packer 1999, Lennon et al. 2000).”
Explaining the global biodiversity gradient: energy, area, history and natural selection (2004, background): “, 1988); it cannot be found clearly among heavier birds, or in the set of all weights combined (Turner et al., 1996; Lennon et al., 2000).”
Species-energy relationship in the deep sea: a test using the Quaternary fossil record (2005, background): “How species are distributed across environmental gradients could reflect physiological tolerances of species (Lennon et al. 2000) or potentially could be a consequence of changes in the total number of individuals as energy availability changes (the more individuals hypothesis, Hutchinson 1959;…”
