The myth of language universals: language diversity and its importance for cognitive science. (2009, background): “…the fact that linguistic diversity patterns just like biological diversity generally, so that the density of languages closely matches the density of biological species across the globe, correlating with rainfall and latitude (Collard & Foley 2002; Mace & Pagel 1995; Nettle 1999; Pagel 2000).”
LINGUISTIC, CULTURAL, AND BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY (2005, background): “…for more studies of the behavioral and cultural factors leading to boundary formation, they argue that “social boundary formation, which in turn reflects social behavior and interaction between residential units, is responsive to environmental and resource factors” (Collard & Foley 2002, p. 379).”
Why are there so many species in the tropics? (2013, background): “…like huge columns a hundred feet or more without throwing out a single branch, the strange buttresses around the base of some, the spiny or furrowed stems of others, the curious and even extraordinary creepers and climbers which wind around them, hanging in long festoons from branch to branch,…”
Human ecological niches and ranges during the LGM in Europe derived from an application of eco-cultural niche modeling (2008, background): “Collard and Foley (2002) argued that cultural diversity decreases towards higher latitudes.”
