Humidity levels drive reproductive modes and phylogenetic diversity of amphibians in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2012, background): “Variations in the environmental factors regulating species richness even exist between amphibians and reptiles, both of which are groups of ectotherms (Qian et al., 2007; Aragón et al., 2010).”
Estimating patterns of reptile biodiversity in remote regions (2013, background): “Previous large-scale studies of reptile richness highlighted that the availability of energy is the major determinant of reptile richness (Rodr ıguez et al., 2005; Qian et al., 2007; Whittaker et al., 2007; Qian & Ricklefs, 2008; Powney et al., 2010; Qian, 2010).”
Environment–richness relationships for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians at global and regional scales (2010, background): “Amphibians have an additional requirement for water for reproduction, however, and thus their diversity should also be strongly influenced by water availability (Buckley and Jetz 2007; Qian et al. 2007a; Whittaker et al. 2007).”
