TESTS OF THE MID-DOMAIN HYPOTHESIS: A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE (2008, background): “Area explained most of the pattern; significant residual MDE correlation0.”
The effect of area on local and regional elevational patterns of species richness (2011, background): “Such patterns have been documented for mammals (McCain, 2005, 2007), birds (Herzog et al., 2005; McCain, 2009), reptiles (Fu et al., 2006), moths (Brehm et al., 2007), flowering plants (Hemp, 2001; Moser et al., 2005; Oommen & Shanker, 2005), vascular epiphytes (Küper et al., 2004; Krömer et al.,…”
Explaining the species richness of birds along a subtropical elevational gradient in the Hengduan Mountains (2013, background): “precipitation (AP) and their combination (annual actual evapotranspiration), has considerable explanatory power for both continental and elevational patterns of species richness (Rahbek, 1997; Hawkins et al., 2003, 2005, 2007; Fu et al., 2006; McCain, 2009; Rowe, 2009).”
