Macroecological patterns of species richness in parasite assemblages (2004, background): “Rohde (1992, 1998) has argued, however, that higher temperatures in the tropics should be associated with shorter generation times and higher rates of mutation, and thus higher evolutionary rates and speciation rates (see also Turner, 2004 ).”
Spatial species‐richness gradients across scales: a meta‐analysis (2009, background): “Measures of island area thus confound the two area effects (Turner, 2004): the causal effect sensu Rosenzweig, and the simple artefact of larger sampling areas tending to contain more species.”
Historical legacies in the geographical diversity patterns of New World palm (Arecaceae) subfamilies (2006, background): “The relative importance of the present-day local environment and regional (i.e. large-scale) factors as determinants of species richness is a central, yet controversial, issue in biogeography (e.g. Colwell, Rahbek & Gotelli, 2004; Leigh et al ., 2004; Ricklefs, 2004; Turner, 2004).”
Food resources and vegetation structure mediate climatic effects on species richness of birds (2014, background): “energy and water availability, are strongly correlated with species richness (Hawkins et al., 2003; Currie et al., 2004; Turner, 2004).”
High tropical net diversification drives the New World latitudinal gradient in palm (Arecaceae) species richness (2008, background): “It has also been proposed that topographic heterogeneity promotes species richness by increasing rates of allopatric speciation, particularly at low latitudes (Fjeldså, 1994; Turner, 2004).”
Seasonality, the latitudinal gradient of diversity, and Eocene insects (2010, background): “…1994), e.g., increases in eurytopy (Cracraft 1985; Rosenzweig 1992; Owens et al. 1999), generations per year due to faster development (Rohde 1992; Turner 2004; Clarke and Gaston 2006; but see Cardillo 1999; Whittle and Johnston 2003), mutation, metabolic rate, or population sizes (Allen et al.…”
