Searching for heat in a marine biodiversity hotspot (2009, background): “These may be defined geographically (e.g. Randall, 1983), as a percentile of known geographical ranges (e.g. Connolly et al., 2003), or by absolute areas [e.g. Hughes et al., 2003; or less than 1.3 · 106 km2 herein (an area that encompasses the Hawaiian Island archipelago)].”
TESTS OF THE MID-DOMAIN HYPOTHESIS: A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE (2008, background): “Similarly, Connolly et al. (2003) and Bellwood et al. (2005) proposed MDE models that predicted both latitudinal and longitudinal gradients in the diversity of corals and reef fishes in the Indo-Pacific.”
Incumbency, diversity, and latitudinal gradients (2008, background): “…of major constituents of western Pacific coral reef communities, which require long-distance founding events in many cases, is symmetrical around a low-latitude peak despite the uneven latitudinal distribution of reef-bearing shelves and island platforms (Roberts et al. 2002; Connolly et al. 2003).”
When does diversity fit null model predictions? Scale and range size mediate the mid‐domain effect (2007, unknown): “…all other measured variables (Fleishman et al. , 1998; Lees et al. , 1999; Jetz & Rahbek, 2001, 2002; Kessler, 2001; Ellison, 2002; Sanders, 2002; Connolly et al. , 2003; McCain, 2003; Romdal et al. , 2005; Cardelús et al. , 2006; Watkins et al. , 2006; Kluge et al ., 2006; Dunn et al ., 2006,…”
Modeling population connectivity by ocean currents, a graph-theoretic approach for marine conservation (2007, background): “…this approach may be applied to a variety of marine connectivity data, including Lagragian biophysical connectivity matrices (Cowen et al. 2006), biogeographic data (Veron 1995; Connolly et al. 2003), and phylogeographic estimates (Benzie and Williams 1997; Palumbi et al. 1997; Meyer et al. 2005).”
The center of the center of marine shore fish biodiversity: the Philippine Islands (2005, methodology): “A recent study utilizing a large database of both corals and coral reef fishes by Connolly et al. (2003) shows a peak in diversity outside the tropical latitudes of the IMPA.”
Descending to the twilight-zone: changes in coral reef fish assemblages along a depth gradient down to 65 m (2008, background): “It could be argued that the rise in species richness is due to a mid domain effect (Colwell & Lees 2000, Connolly et al. 2003, Colwell et al. 2004b, but see also Zapata et al. 2003, 2005).”
Changes in Biodiversity and Functioning of Reef Fish Assemblages following Coral Bleaching and Coral Loss (2011, background): “The Indo-Australia Archipelago (IAA) is the world's richest coral reef biodiversity hotspot, encompassing coral reefs of northern Australia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon's, Indonesia, and Philippines [85].”
The marine East Indies: diversity and speciation (2005, background): “The first (Connolly et al., 2003) analysed the ranges of 727 coral species and 1766 fish species.”
Marine shelf habitat: biogeography and evolution (2013, background): “The concept of the CT as both a museum and a cradle may augment earlier theories that involved accumulation only, an overlap of Indian Ocean and Western Pacific faunas, and the mid-domain hypothesis (Connolly et al., 2003).”
The Mid‐Domain Effect: There’s a Baby in the Bathwater (2005, background): “…Gaston (2001), who compared beta diversity (species turnover) patterns for real-world data and the corresponding predicted spatial patterns from MDE models, and by Laurie and Silander (2002) and Connolly et al. (2003), who compared the pattern of range/midpoint plots with stochastic expectations.”
The historical biogeography of coral reef fishes: global patterns of origination and dispersal (2013, background): “…context of reef building corals, the three ‘centre of’ hypotheses have been repeatedly modified and expanded (reviewed by Bellwood et al., 2012) in an attempt to explain the extensive overlapping and widespread ranges seen in multiple coral reef taxa (Hughes et al., 2002; Connolly et al., 2003).”
CAUSES OF LATITUDINAL GRADIENTS IN SPECIES RICHNESS: A TEST WITH FISHES OF THE TROPICAL EASTERN PACIFIC (2005, background): “…a case in point, within the vast expanse of the Indo-Pacific, which typically is treated as an integrated whole by biogeographers (e.g., Hughes et al. 2002, Jones et al. 2002, Connolly et al. 2003, Mora et al. 2003), there are at least 13 major biogeographic barriers (Bellwood and Wainwright 2002).”
Significance testing in ecological null models (2012, background): “species diversity gradients has an alternative in the direct test of Veech (2000) and Connolly et al. (2003).”
The application of genetics to marine management and conservation: Examples from the Indo-Pacific (2014, background): “…oceans, houses an incredible array of marine biodiversity, with almost 4000 described species of fishes (Allen 2007), >700 tropical reef corals (Connolly et al 2003), an undescribed diversity of invertebrates (Bouchet et al. 2002, Appletans et al. 2012), and is thus celebrated as a prominent…”
The Mid‐Domain Effect and Species Richness Patterns:What Have We Learned So Far? (2004, methodology): “Accounting for the effects of geometric constraints using an appropriate MDE model is an effective means of pinpointing regions where a net excess or net deficiency of species remains (Rahbek 1997; Connolly et al. 2003; McCain 2004)—deviations that might be explained by spatial patterns of speciatio”
