Understanding global patterns in amphibian geographic range size: does Rapoport rule? (2012, background): “Although more robust to phylogenetic non-independence, assemblage analyses tend to be confounded more by spatial autocorrelation due to the similarity in number and composition of species in neighbouring cells (Gaston et al., 2008).”
The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “…and evolution, and how it may respond to environmental change driven by humans, requires a spatially explicit approach (Blackburn and Gaston 1998, Soberón 2007, Gaston et al. 2008, 2009, McRae et al. 2008, Thuiller et al. 2008, Storfer et al. 2010, Ellner et al. 2011, Bellard et al. 2012).”
Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “Less well characterized, however, is the relationship between NPP and population dynamics, particularly demographic rates (see the references and summaries in Gaston et al. 2008 and Schemske et al. 2009).”
Phylogeography: retrospect and prospect (2009, background): “It also differs from ecogeography (an important sub-branch of biogeography; Gaston et al., 2008) by its special focus on historical causation in addition to the selective forces and other ecological processes operating across more contemporary timeframes.”
Adapting to climate change: a perspective from evolutionary physiology (2010, positive): “The first, ‘analytical’ approach amounts to scaling up spatially explicit studies by adopting an r × c matrix perspective (Gaston et al. 2008, 2009).”
The Canaries: an important biogeographical meeting place (2008, background): “(2008) provide an illustration of a further recent development (Hawkins et al., 2006), integrating evolutionary structure with the spatial analysis in their examination of palm species richness gradients across the New World. While finding support for the significance of climate, especially the mech”
Body size variation in insects: a macroecological perspective (2010, background): “Whilst these three levels can be thought of as different elements of a species by sites matrix (Gaston et al., 2008), this is rarely done.”
Biodiversity and extinction: the importance of being common (2008, methodology): “This is despite particular common species having frequently been used as model study organisms in many fi elds of biology (eg, Gaston et al., 2008).”
Ant assemblages have darker and larger members in cold environments (2016, neutral): “Gloger’s rule (Gaston et al., 2008), that endotherms should be darker at low latitudes, suggests that pigmentation provides protection against a range of factors including UV-B irradiance.”
Species Distribution Models: Ecological Explanation and Prediction Across Space and Time (2009, neutral): “For instance, recent commentaries by macroecologists and biogeographers (Gaston et al. 2008, Sagarin et al. 2006) point to many interesting theoretical questions about species ranges, but barely refer to insights from the SDM literature, possibly because SDM practitioners largely fail to explicitly…”
