Validation Tests of Predictive Models of Butterfly Occurrence Based on Environmental Variables (2003, background): “Mac Nally, R., A. F. Bennett, and G. Horrocks.”
Modeling and Predicting Species Occurrence Using Broad‐Scale Environmental Variables: an Example with Butterflies of the Great Basin (2001, background): “Most were derived from electronic sources of data in combination with ArcView and Arc Macro Language scripts.”
Using Indicator Species to Predict Species Richness of Multiple Taxonomic Groups (2005, methodology): “Selection of potential indicators through statistically based methods is most likely to be effective, especially when compared with selection based on ad hoc criteria such as a species’ charisma or its legal protection status (Landres et al. 1998; Andelman & Fagan 2000; Mac Nally et al. 2000).”
Collapse of an avifauna: climate change appears to exacerbate habitat loss and degradation (2009, background): “Most of the remaining native vegetation is located predominantly on sites characterized by shallow, infertile soils (Mac Nally et al., 2000), while on the better soils of the plains, remnant vegetation occurs as highly fragmented patches or linear strips along roads and streams (van der Ree, 2002;…”
Long‐term effects of forest fragmentation on Amazonian ant communities (2006, background): “…and non-fragmented forests were not related to variation in tree density, suggesting that the observed pattern in species richness is a result of the effects of fragmentation per se rather than of pre-existing differences in vegetation structure between these sites (cf. Mac Nally et al., 2000).”
Avifaunal disarray due to a single despotic species (2013, background): “We review the evidence for widespread assemblage-level phase shifts, triggered partly by anthropogenic habitat alteration and mediated by a despotic species (sensu Mac Nally et al., 2000).”
A Successful Predictive Model of Species Richness Based on Indicator Species (2004, background): “The hypothesis may be in the form of a statistical model—a function of the occurrence of indicator species—that should be confronted with new test data (Landres et al. 1998; Mac Nally et al. 2000).”
Relative influences of patch, landscape and historical factors on birds in an Australian fragmented landscape (2002, methodology): “…treehollows) and logs are regarded as favourable habitats for these forests, probably indicative of a habitat structure more closely resembling the pre-settlement condition of boxironbark forests (Deacon and Mac Nally, 1998; Soderquist, 1999; Mac Nally et al. 2000b; Soderquist and Mac Nally, 2000).”
