The persistence and conservation of Borneo’s mammals in lowland rain forests managed for timber: observations, overviews and opportunities (2007, background): “This is substantiated by research on primates that shows that small geographic range and high ecological specialisation—both characteristic of Bornean endemics—are positively correlated with extinction risk (Eeley and Foley 1999; Harcourt et al. 2002).”
Rarity in the tropics: biogeography and macroecology of the primates (2006, methodology): “For primate species, local density does not correlate with range size, either globally or per continent (Harcourt et al., 2002).”
Resistance and resilience: quantifying relative extinction risk in a diverse assemblage of Australian tropical rainforest vertebrates (2009, background): “In an analysis of primates, Harcourt et al. (2002) also found that restricted geographical range was associated with habitat specialization, but found no relationship between range size and local abundance.”
Niche breadth predicts geographical range size: a general ecological pattern. (2013, background): “Nevertheless, the validity of this niche breadth–range size hypothesis is a key question in ecology in that it proposes a mechanism for commonness and rarity, and if true, may help predict species’ vulnerability to extinction under rapid environmental change (Harcourt et al. 2002; Boyles & Storm 200”
Impacts of land use change on South‐east Asian forest butterflies: a review (2007, background): “with narrower distributions (Holloway 1996; Jones et al. 2001; Harcourt et al. 2002).”
Habitat loss, resource specialization, and extinction on coral reefs (2004, background): “…et al. (2000) and Kotze & O’Hara (2003); reptiles: Foufopoulos & Ives (1999); birds: Owens & Bennett (2000) and Julliard et al. (2004); mammals: Harcourt et al. (2002) and Fisher et al. (2003)), it is not clear if it has a similar effect on marine animals because many of these species have an…”
Geographic range size, seedling ecophysiology and phenotypic plasticity in Australian Acacia species (2005, background): “Habitat specialization is associated with smaller range sizes in small mammals (Glazier & Eckert, 2002), primates (Harcourt et al., 2002) and in some plant genera (e.”
Ecological Correlates of Extinction Proneness in Tropical Butterflies (2004, background): “…more adaptable and better able to exploit a wide range of ecological niches than species with narrow distributions (e.g., Jones et al. 2001; Harcourt et al. 2002), which may explain why species with wide geographical distributions consistently suffer fewer extinctions than those that are…”
Taxonomic inflation: its influence on macroecology and conservation. (2004, background): “the total. Because of this level of uncertainty, Harcourt et al. [ 43 ] abandoned species taxa altogether in favour of genera.”
