Energy, water, and broad-scale geographic patterns of species richness
Bradford A. Hawkins,Richard Field,Howard V. Cornell,David J. Currie,Jean-François Guégan,Dawn M. Kaufman,Jeremy T. Kerr,Gary G. Mittelbach,Thierry Oberdorff,Eileen M. O'Brien,Eric E. Porter,John Turner +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the relationship between climate and biodiversity and conclude that the interaction between water and energy, either directly or indirectly, provides a strong explanation for globally extensive plant and animal diversity gradients, but for animals there also is a latitudinal shift in the relative importance of ambient energy vs. water moving from the poles to the equator.
Journal ArticleDOI
LATITUDINAL GRADIENTS OF BIODIVERSITY:Pattern,Process,Scale,and Synthesis
TL;DR: An extensive survey of the literature is conducted and a synthetic assessment of the degree to which variation in patterns is a consequence of characteristics of scale or taxon is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
THE GEOGRAPHIC RANGE: Size, Shape, Boundaries, and Internal Structure
TL;DR: The shapes of ranges and the dynamic changes in range boundaries reflect the interacting influences of limiting environmental conditions and dispersal/extinction dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictions and tests of climate‐based hypotheses of broad‐scale variation in taxonomic richness
David J. Currie,Gary G. Mittelbach,Howard V. Cornell,Richard Field,Jean-François Guégan,Bradford A. Hawkins,Dawn M. Kaufman,Jeremy T. Kerr,Thierry Oberdorff,Eileen M. O'Brien,John Turner +10 more
TL;DR: This work rejects the energy–richness hypothesis in its standard form and considers some proposed modifications, and deriving and testing predictions based on their hypothesized mechanisms.
PERSPECTIVES Predictions and tests of climate-based hypotheses of broad-scale variation in taxonomic richness
David J. Currie,Gary G. Mittelbach,Howard V. Cornell,Richard Field,Bradford A. Hawkins,Dawn M. Kaufman,Jeremy T. Kerr,Thierry,John Turner +8 more
TL;DR: The authors examined several prominent hypotheses for climate-richness relationships, deriving and testing predictions based on their hypothesized mechanisms, including the more individuals hypothesis, the physiological tolerance hypothesis, and the speciation rate hypothesis.
