Explaining the global biodiversity gradient: energy, area, history and natural selection (2004, background): “We commence with a suggestion of Terborgh (1973) and Rosenzweig (1992, 1995) that we should consider the area of the whole planet, or more particularly the area of a latitudinal zone.”
Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “For example, latitudinal gradients in invasion (Sax 2001) or predation pressure and prey defenses (Bertness et al. 1981, Bolser & Hay 1996) that correspond with gradients in diversity are well known, but causal links have rarely been rigorously investigated.”
Contrasting patterns in the invasions of European terrestrial and freshwater habitats by alien plants, insects and vertebrates (2010, background): “The positive effect of insularity found for alien mammals corresponds to well-established knowledge that islands are more prone to invasions than mainlands (Lonsdale, 1999; Sax, 2001; Brown & Sax, 2004; Sax & Gaines, 2005; Daehler, 2006; Gimeno et al., 2006; Blackburn et al., 2008); this is thought ”
