The global distribution of frugivory in birds (2009, background): “Bird clades which initially evolved under wetter conditions may have failed to adapt to drier conditions or arid habitats if ancestral niches were conserved over evolutionary time (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004; Hawkins et al., 2005; Wiens & Graham, 2005).”
Tropical niche conservatism and the species richness gradient of North American butterflies (2009, methodology): “…a butterfly’s subfamily from the base of a phylogenetic tree, and the mean root distance (MRD) of all butterflies found in each cell of the grids was used as a measure of the level of evolutionary development of the local fauna (Kerr & Currie, 1999; Hawkins et al., 2005, 2006; Algar et al., 2008).”
Spatial patterns of woody plant and bird diversity: functional relationships or environmental effects? (2008, background): “Vegetation structural complexity thus may be more important in shaping geographic gradients of tropical bird diversity than has previously been thought (e.g. Oindo et al., 2001; Jetz & Rahbek, 2002; Hawkins et al., 2003; Kissling et al., 2007; but see Hawkins et al., 2005, 2007b).”
Macro‐scale bird species richness patterns of the East Asian mainland and islands: energy, area and isolation (2006, background): “…scale, however, primary productivity and the species richness of a variety of plant and animal groups often exhibit a positive monotonic relationship (e.g. Currie & Paquin, 1987; Waide et al., 1999; Gaston, 2000; Hawkins et al., 2003, 2005; Whittaker & Heegaard, 2003; Bini et al., 2004).”
Different evolutionary histories underlie congruent species richness gradients of birds and mammals (2012, methodology): “Hawkins et al. (2005, 2006, 2007) concluded that bird species richness patterns derive from a combination of current climate, operating both directly via physiological stresses and indirectly via vegetation (which provides nesting sites, protection from predators, amelioration of climatic extremes,…”
Hot, dry and different: Australian lizard richness is unlike that of mammals, amphibians and birds (2010, background): “Hawkins et al. (2005) suggested that the increase in aridity of western and central Australia since the Miocene may explain the current positive relationship between bird richness and AET.”
Post‐Eocene climate change, niche conservatism, and the latitudinal diversity gradient of New World birds (2006, methodology): “First and foremost, both predictions derived from the niche conservatism hypothesis proposed by Hawkins et al. (2005) for Australian birds are supported in the western hemisphere [see also Latham & Ricklefs (1993) and Wiens & Donoghue (2004) 774 Journal of Biogeography 33, 770–780 ª 2006 The Authors”
Global angiosperm family richness revisited: linking ecology and evolution to climate (2011, background): “Phylogenetic patterns consistent with this prediction have recently been documented for a number of animal groups (Hawkins et al., 2005, 2006, 2007a; Wiens et al., 2006, 2009; Hawkins & DeVries, 2009; Hawkins, 2010).”
A brief guide to model selection, multimodel inference and model averaging in behavioural ecology using Akaike’s information criterion (2010, background): “For example, Symonds and Johnson (2008), in predicting community composition in Australian birds, used variables that had been identified as significant environmental predictors of species richness in these communities by Hawkins et al. (2005).”
Reconciling approaches to biogeographical regionalization: a systematic and generic framework examined with a case study of the Australian continent (2007, background): “Furthermore, molecular data are providing new opportunities for mapping biogeographical patterns in the phylogeny and genetic structure of taxa and analysis of their environmental relations (Hawkins et al., 2005; Kirchman & Franklin, 2007) and modes of speciation (Norman et al.”
Life on a tropical planet: niche conservatism and the global diversity gradient (2013, background): “Both hypotheses, as well as ecological hypotheses linked to differing carrying capacities of climate zones relative to the solar input of energy and water balance (Currie et al., 2004; Hawkins et al., 2005; Whittaker et al., 2007), may act in concert to enhance the tropical diversity peak.”
Altitudinal patterns of seed plant richness in the Gaoligong Mountains, south‐east Tibet, China (2007, background): “…patterns, several hypotheses have been proposed during the last decades, which concern energy and water availability (Currie, 1991; Heaney, 2001; Hawkins et al ., 2003, 2005), habitat heterogeneity (Jetz & Rahbek, 2002), evolutionary history (Ricklefs et al ., 1999), and area (Rahbek, 1997).”
High tropical net diversification drives the New World latitudinal gradient in palm (Arecaceae) species richness (2008, methodology): “We did not normalize the MRD values using the z-score approach of Hawkins et al. (2005, 2006), as changing sample size (here, species richness) does not change the estimate of the mean in random samples (e.g. MRD).”
