Ecological correlates of range shifts of Late Pleistocene mammals

Ecological fidelity of functional traits based on species presence-absence in a modern mammalian bone assemblage (Amboseli, Kenya)

Miller, Joshua H.; Behrensmeyer, Anna K.; Du, Andrew; Lyons, Sara K.; Patterson, David; Toth, Aniko; Villasenor, Amelia; Kanga, Erustus; Reed, Denne (2014)

Comparisons between modern death assemblages and their source communities have demonstrated fidelity to species diversity across a variety of environments and taxonomic groups. However, differential species preservation ...

A framework for evaluating the influence of climate, dispersal limitation, and biotic interactions using fossil pollen associations across the late Quaternary

Blois, Jessica L.; Gotelli, Nicholas J.; Behrensmeyer, Anna K.; Faith, J. T.; Lyons, Sara K.; Williams, John W.; Amatangelo, Kathryn L.; Bercovici, Antoine; Du, Andrew; Eronen, Jussi T.; Graves, Gary R.; Jud, Nathan; Labandeira, Conrad C.; Looy, Cindy V.; McGill, Brian; Patterson, David; Potts, Richard; Riddle, Brett; Terry, Rebecca; Tóth, Anikó; Villaseñor, Amelia; Wing, Scott L. (2014)

Environmental conditions, dispersal lags, and interactions among species are major factors structuring communities through time and across space. Ecologists have emphasized the importance of biotic interactions in determining ...

How big should a mammal be? A macroecological look at mammalian body size over space and time

Smith, Felisa A.; Lyons, Sara K. (2011)

Macroecology was developed as a big picture statistical approach to the study of ecology and evolution. By focusing on broadly occurring patterns and processes operating at large spatial and temporal scales rather than on ...

The importance of considering animal body mass in IPCC greenhouse inventories and the underappreciated role of wild herbivores

Smith, Felisa A.; Lyons, Sara K.; Wagner, Peter; Elliott, Scott M. (2015)

Methane is an important greenhouse gas but characterizing production by source sector has proven difficult. Current estimates suggest herbivores produce ~20% (~76-189 Tg yr(-1) ) of methane globally, with wildlife contributions ...

Patterns and causes of species richness: a general simulation model for macroecology

Gotelli, Nicholas J.; Anderson, Marti J.; Arita, Hector T.; Chao, Anne; Colwell, Robert K.; Connolly, Sean R.; Currie, David J.; Dunn, Robert R.; Graves, Gary R.; Green, Jessica L.; Grytnes, John-Arvid; Jiang, Yi-Huei; Jetz, Walter; Lyons, Sara K.; McCain, Christy M.; Magurran, Anne E.; Rahbek, Carsten; Rangel, Thiago F. L. V. B.; Soberón, Jorge; Webb, Campbell O.; Willig, Michael R. (2009)

Understanding the causes of spatial variation in species richness is a major research focus of biogeography and macroecology. Gridded environmental data and species richness maps have been used in increasingly sophisticated ...

Two-phase increase in the maximum size of life over 3.5 billion years reflects biological innovation and environmental opportunity

Payne, Jonathan L.; Boyer, Alison G.; Brown, James H.; Finnegan, Seth; Kowalewski, Michal; Krause, Richard A.; Lyons, Sara K.; McClain, Craig R.; McShea, Daniel W.; Novack-Gottshall, Philip M.; Smith, Felisa A.; Stempien, Jennifer A.; Wang, Steve C. (2009)

The maximum size of organisms has increased enormously since the initial appearance of life >3.5 billion years ago (Gya), but the pattern and timing of this size increase is poorly known. Consequently, controls underlying ...
