Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography
Gary G. Mittelbach,Douglas W. Schemske,Howard V. Cornell,Andrew P. Allen,Jonathan M. Brown,Mark B. Bush,Susan Harrison,Allen H. Hurlbert,Nancy Knowlton,Harilaos A. Lessios,Christy M. McCain,Amy R. McCune,Lucinda A. McDade,Mark A. McPeek,Thomas J. Near,Trevor D. Price,Robert E. Ricklefs,Kaustuv Roy,Dov F. Sax,Dolph Schluter,James M. Sobel,Michael Turelli +21 more
TL;DR: Two major hypotheses for the origin of the latitudinal diversity gradient are reviewed, including the time and area hypothesis and the diversification rate hypothesis, which hold that tropical regions diversify faster due to higher rates of speciation, or due to lower extinction rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species abundance distributions: moving beyond single prediction theories to integration within an ecological framework
Brian J. McGill,Rampal S. Etienne,John S. Gray,David Alonso,Marti J. Anderson,Habtamu Kassa Benecha,Maria Dornelas,Brian J. Enquist,Jessica L. Green,Fangliang He,Allen H. Hurlbert,Anne E. Magurran,Pablo A. Marquet,Pablo A. Marquet,Pablo A. Marquet,Brian A. Maurer,Annette Ostling,Candan U. Soykan,Karl I. Ugland,Ethan P. White +19 more
TL;DR: Theoretical, empirical and statistical developments in the study of Species abundance distributions are reviewed and it is optimistic that SADs can provide significant insights into basic and applied ecological science.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species richness, hotspots, and the scale dependence of range maps in ecology and conservation
Allen H. Hurlbert,Walter Jetz +1 more
TL;DR: This work examines avian range maps of 834 bird species in conjunction with geographically extensive survey data sets on two continents to determine the spatial resolutions at which range-map data actually characterize species occurrences and patterns of species richness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of energy and seasonality on avian species richness and community composition.
TL;DR: The relationship between avian richness and NDVI was consistent between seasons, suggesting that the way in which available energy is converted to bird species is similar at these ecologically distinct times of year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species–energy relationships and habitat complexity in bird communities
TL;DR: Qualitative support is found for the relationships predicted by the More Individuals Hypothesis for species richness and habitat complexity, however, the MIH alone was inadequate for fully explaining richness patterns.
