Stochastic and deterministic drivers of spatial and temporal turnover in breeding bird communities (2012, methodology): “Because the null model is implemented separately for each route by using observed species abundances, it also accounts for differences in detectability across sites (e.g. across primary productivity gradients; Hurlbert, 2004).”
Species abundance distributions: moving beyond single prediction theories to integration within an ecological framework. (2007, background): “We cannot say at the present time (but see Hurlbert 2004).”
Food resources and vegetation structure mediate climatic effects on species richness of birds (2014, background): “The ‘vegetation structure hypothesis’ proposes an indirect effect of climate on species richness via the structural complexity of habitats (Hurlbert, 2004; Tews et al., 2004).”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “…the existence of some such patterns is predicted from particular mechanisms that have been suggested to explain spatial patterns in species richness, which has motivated much more work in this area (e.g. Kaspari et al., 2003; Hurlbert, 2004; Evans et al., 2005b, 2006b; Pautasso & Gaston, 2005).”
Temperature, but not productivity or geometry, predicts elevational diversity gradients in ants across spatial grains (2007, methodology): “Hurlbert (2004) recently found a negative relationship between the abundance of birds and a proxy for productivity (NDVI) in North American forests, but a positive relationship in grasslands.”
Squamate richness in the Brazilian Cerrado and its environmental–climatic associations (2007, background): “Other studies in the literature also suggested that a combination of different hypotheses may best explain species richness patterns (BohningGaese, 1997; Hurlbert, 2004; Diniz-Filho & Bini, 2005).”
Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions (2011, background): “Furthermore, a continental-scale analysis of avian richness patterns demonstrated that both habitat complexity and available energy were important predictors of richness (Hurlbert, 2004), showing that this relationship applies across ecosystems.”
Environment–richness relationships for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians at global and regional scales (2010, methodology): “…amphibians (Buckley and Jetz 2007), and plants (Francis and Currie 2003; Kreft and Jetz 2007), among many others at continental scales or below (e.g., Currie 1991; Kerr and Packer 1997; Badgley and Fox 2000; Hawkins and Porter 2003; Hurlbert and Haskell 2003; Hurlbert 2004; Evans et al. 2006).”
Environmental determinants of amphibian and reptile species richness in China (2007, background): “The resourcespeciation hypothesis suggests that the number of resource types that can support specialist species increases with increasing productivity (Abrams 1995, Srivastava and Lawton 1998, Hurlbert 2004 ).”
Biodiversity along temperate forest succession (2018, background): “The more-individuals hypothesis—a variant of the species-energy hypothesis (Wright, 1983)—suggests that an increase in resource availability leads to more individuals (Hurlbert, 2004).”
MoB (Measurement of Biodiversity): a method to separate the scale-dependent effects of species abundance distribution, density, and aggregation on diversity change (2018, background): “92 The number of individuals in the local community directly affects richness due to the 93 sampling effect (the More Individuals Hypothesis of richness; Hurlbert 2004).”
Broad-scale ecological implications of ectothermy and endothermy in changing environments (2012, background): “Thus, even in birds, a purely individualsbased explanation of species richness remains inadequate (Currie et al., 2004; Hurlbert, 2004; Hurlbert & Jetz, 2010).”
Drivers of β‐diversity along latitudinal gradients revisited (2013, background): “…role in the development of community ecology for over a century (Raunkiaer, 1909; Alonso et al., 2008) and have been at the heart of the development of ecological theories, e.g. neutral theory in ecology (Hubbell, 2001) and the more-individuals hypothesis (Hurlbert, 2004; Evans et al., 2005).”
Global patterns of specialization and coexistence in bird assemblages (2012, background): “…and assuming richness is casually linked to specialization, gradients in resource availability (manifested as more habitats or energetic niches, Hurlbert, 2004; Anderson & Jetz, 2005; Clarke & Gaston, 2006; Novotny et al., 2006; Belmaker, 2009; Kissling et al., 2011) may operate in tandem with…”
