Centres of plant endemism in China: places for survival or for speciation? (2011, neutral): “The patterns obtained were examined to detect cells, or concentrations of cells, with high values of richness; these were interpreted as centres of endemism or ‘hotspots’ (Prendergast et al., 1993; Crisp et al., 2001; Orme et al., 2005).”
Are the Northern Andes a species pump for Neotropical birds? Phylogenetics and biogeography of a clade of Neotropical tanagers (Aves: Thraupini) (2010, neutral): “In fact South America has more species of birds than any of the other seven continents (Stotz et al., 1996), and the Andes mountain range is consistently identified as a top biodiversity hotspot (Orme et al., 2005).”
Species richness as criterion for global conservation area placement leads to large losses in coverage of biodiversity (2017, background): “…patterns has used species richness of all, small- range and threatened species to map ‘hot spots’ of species richness (Brooks et al., 2004; Ceballos & Ehrlich, 2006; Grenyer et al., 2006; Jenkins, Pimm, & Joppa, 2013; Jenkins, Van Houtan, Pimm, & Sexton, 2015; Orme et al., 2005; Pimm et al., 2014).”
Effects of incorporating spatial autocorrelation into the analysis of species distribution data (2007, background): “Only very recently studies have used corrections for spatial autocorrelation without having to justify their effect on model quality (e.g. Kühn et al., 2003; Luoto et al., 2005; Newbury & Simon, 2005; Orme et al., 2005; Warren et al., 2005; Worm et al., 2005; Kaboli et al., 2006; Stephenson et al., ”
Features and distribution patterns of Chinese endemic seed plant species (2011, background): “Endemism has become an increasingly common and irreplaceable surrogate for identifying the world’s “biodiversity hotspots” (Myers et al., 2000; Mittermeier et al., 2005; Orme et al., 2005; Lamoreux et al., 2006).”
Body size, rarity, and phylogenetic community structure: insights from diving beetle assemblages of Alberta (2006, background): “Determining the conditions that facilitate rare species occurrence will have obvious ramifications for the conservation of biodiversity (Andreasen, 2005; Orme et al., 2005; Purvis et al., 2006).”
Research priorities for bat conservation in Southeast Asia: a consensus approach (2008, background): “, species richness, endemism) may not generate congruent hotspots within a taxon (Orme et al. 2005; Ceballos and Ehrlich 2006), cross-taxon congruence may be limited or scale-dependent (Grenyer et al.”
Biogeographical determinants for total and endemic species richness in a continental archipelago (2010, background): “There are documented examples of the lack of congruence in the spatial pattern of total species richness with the richness of endemic or rare species (Orme et al. 2005; Lamoreux et al. 2006; Mazaris et al. 2008).”
Hot, dry and different: Australian lizard richness is unlike that of mammals, amphibians and birds (2010, methodology): “Vector range map data for Australian mammals (Sechrest, 2003; Grenyer et al., 2006), birds (Orme et al., 2005) and amphibians (IUCN, 2004) were used to provide comparable richness surfaces on the same grid.”
