Biodiversity and extinction: the importance of being common (2008, background): “The trait most closely associated with commonness in species seems often to be the abundance or extent of the environmental conditions under which they occur (their niche positions; Gregory and Gaston, 2000), but in some sense this is merely an alternative expression of the state of being common (it”
Does Mother Nature really prefer rare species or are log‐left‐skewed SADs a sampling artefact? (2003, background): “For example, data on birds at the scale of a nation make up the majority of claims for left skew (Nee et al. 1991; Gregory 1994; Gregory & Gaston 2000 ).”
The role of species traits in the establishment success of exotic birds (2009, background): “However, tests of this hypothesis have not been supportive (Gaston et al., 1997; Gregory & Gaston, 2000; Gaston, 2003).”
Changes in bird communities following conversion of lowland forest to oil palm and rubber plantations in southern Thailand (2006, background): “Further assumptions about habitat specificity might also be inferred from estimates of range size (e.g. Gregory and Gaston 2000).”
Influence of habitat quantity, quality and isolation on the distribution and abundance of two epiphytic lichens (2003, background): “Although a common cause of variation in species local abundance and regional distribution may be resource or habitat availability (e.g. Venier & Fahrig 1996; Gregory & Gaston 2000), species may not be able to colonize all suitable habitat because their dispersal cannot reach isolated fragments.”
Niche breadth predicts geographical range size: a general ecological pattern. (2013, methodology): “None found a substantial difference in the magnitude of the niche breadth–range size relationship with and without independent contrasts, and two (Gregory & Gaston 2000; Thompson & Ceriani 2003) found that the strength of the relationship actually increased after controlling for phylogenetic…”
Niche properties of Central European spiders : shading, moisture and the evolution of the habitat niche (2007, background): “birds, plants, beetles; Gregory & Gaston, 2000; Peterson & Holt, 2003; Coudun & Gegout, 2005; Eyre et al ., 2005).”
Species‐energy relationships at the macroecological scale: a review of the mechanisms (2005, background): “The two types of specialism need not be interchangeable (Gaston, 1994; Gregory & Gaston, 2000), and both may contribute to species–energy relationships.”
