Extrapair Paternity and Sexual Selection in Socially Monogamous Birds: Are Tropical Birds Different? (2008, background): “…Sherman 1997)�� Tropical species of lowland rainforest communities tend to breed at lower densities than temperate-zone species (Terborgh et al�� 1990, but see Robinson et al�� 2000) and, accordingly, this hypothesis predicts generally lower rates of EPP in aseasonal tropical habitats�� However,…”
BIRD ASSEMBLAGES IN SECOND-GROWTH AND OLD-GROWTH FORESTS, COSTA RICA: PERSPECTIVES FROM MIST NETS AND POINT COUNTS (2001, methodology): “Describing composition of an assemblage of birds in a particular area is not a simple task and depends, to a large extent, on the method(s) employed (Terborgh et al. 1990, Robinson et al. 2000).”
Bird Extinctions in Atlantic Forest Fragments of the Viçosa Region, Southeastern Brazil (2003, background): “…Harpy Eagle [Harpia harpyja]) or some elusive species (Phylloscartes flycatchers) have never been recorded by researchers, likely because they were extirpated prior to the 1930s (or after) or because these species are rare in tropical forests everywhere (Terborgh et al. 1990; Robinson et al. 2000).”
Species richness in an insectivorous bat assemblage from Malaysia (2003, background): “Patchily distributed species may appear rare if sampling fails, by chance or as a consequence of the scale of the study, to include a cluster of individuals (Robinson et al. 2000).”
Spatial hierarchical approach in community ecology: a way beyond high context-dependency and low predictability in local phenomena (2004, background): “One of the most important discoveries was that regional processes often play an important role in determining the local species richness (e.g., Lawton et al. 1993; Srivastava 1999; Robinson et al. 2000).”
ESTIMATING SPECIES RICHNESS OF TROPICAL BIRD COMMUNITIES FROM RAPID ASSESSMENT DATA (2002, background): “…and spot-mapping data especially in Neotropical forests, and we consider that only spot-mapping (Kendeigh 1944, Bibby et al. 2000) during longer field sessions will yield reliable measurements of absolute abundance for most tropical forest birds (see Terborgh et al. 1990, Robinson et al. 2000).”
Gulliver travels to the fragmented tropics: geographic variation in mechanisms of avian extinction (2005, background): “The average abundance of most forestdwelling, neotropical species is an order of magnitude lower than their north temperate ecological counterparts (Terborgh et al. 1990; Robinson et al. 2000).”
