Journal ArticleDOI
Similarity of mammalian body size across the taxonomic hierarchy and across space and time.
Felisa A. Smith,Felisa A. Smith,James H. Brown,John P. Haskell,S. Kathleen Lyons,John Alroy,Eric L. Charnov,Tamar Dayan,Brian J. Enquist,S. K. Morgan Ernest,Elizabeth A. Hadly,Kate E. Jones,Dawn M.

TL;DR: It is suspected that life‐history and ecological parameters are so tightly constrained by allometry at diminutive size that animals can only adapt to novel ecological conditions by modifying body size, and body size patterns across the body size spectrum are consistent across the size spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species' geographic ranges and distributional limits: pattern analysis and statistical issues
Marie-Josée Fortin,Timothy H. Keitt,Brian A. Maurer,Mark L. Taper,Dawn M. Kaufman,Tim M. Blackburn +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey tool for the quantification of static spatial patterns related to geographical ranges and their borders is presented. But there is no such thing as the "best" or "only" method to analyze species geographical range and border.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of New World Mammals: Universality of the Latitudinal Gradients of Species and Bauplans
TL;DR: The latitudinal gradient of species richness in mammals of the New World has been studied for over 30 years as discussed by the authors, and there has been no consensus as to what causes the inverse relationship between species richness and latitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a general species–time–area relationship
Peter B. Adler,Ethan P. White,William K. Lauenroth,Dawn M. Kaufman,Andrew Rassweiler,James A. Rusak +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a general species-time-area rela- tionship (STAR), in which species number is a function of the area and time span of sampling, as well as their interaction, which provides a tool for scaling species richness across time and space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Latitudinal patterns of mammalian species richness in the New World: the effects of sampling method and faunal group
TL;DR: The data suggest that both faunal subgroups, nonvolant species and bats, contributed substantially to the overall mammalian pattern, and that only latitude is a necessary variable to explain bat richness; for nonvolants, in addition to latitude, area and longitude may be important.
