The Mid‐Domain Effect: There’s a Baby in the Bathwater (2005, background): “A strong theoretical prediction of MDE models, repeatedly confirmed for empirical data (as summarized by CRG; see also Cardelús et al. 2005; Mora and Robertson 2005), is that larger ranges are more constrained by geometry than are smaller ranges.”
Squamate richness in the Brazilian Cerrado and its environmental–climatic associations (2007, result): “Although the rationale behind the hypothesis seems reasonable, recent studies failed to support this hypothesis (Velho et al ., 2004; Mora & Robertson, 2005).”
Biodiversity and extinction: the importance of being common (2008, background): “…at a spatial resolution of one degree (Jetz and Rahbek, 2002), marine fi sh in one-degree latitudinal bands across the tropical eastern Pacifi c (Mora and Robertson, 2005), palms across the Neotropics at half degree (Kreft et al., 2006), mammals across Mexico at half degree (Vázquez and Gaston,…”
