TL;DR
The major problems of geographical (as opposed to ecological) biogeography are the determination of the main patterns of distribution, and elucidation of how those patterns came about, as it applies to the species of terrestrial mammals of North America.

Not only is the distribution lognormal, but the constants or parameters seem to be restricted in a peculiar way, and they are not fixed, but they are interlocked.

The observed populations are not under the control of very local or rapid temporal processes; i.e., they are in a near-equilibrium state, and the hypotheses will be ones which yield an equilibrium or near-Equilibrium population.

It is suggested that if a really complete faunistic list for a given biotope could be constructed the size distribution by species would approximate the form given by the model.

Sufficient information on the physiological adjustments of arctic and tropical animals is now available so that an analysis of what phylogenetic pathways evolution has actually followed in the engineering of climatic adaptation of warm-blooded animals is attempted.

D degree of popularity (P) is newly defined herein in the following formula: P=N/S(n-1) Where, N stands for the frequency that one species is concurrently obtained together with other species of this group from the same locality in each zoogeographic division, n for the total number of species examined and S for the number of investigation.
Systematic ZoologyDistance as a Measure of Taxonomic Similarity
209 Citations1961Robert R. Sokal
Sudden developments in methods for quantifying the classificatory process in systematics appear to stem from a growing dissatisfaction with the arbitrariness and subjectivity of the customary taxonomic procedure and would also appear to.

The Cretaceous period, which was transitional from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic era, is well represented by a succession of fossil floras from both hemispheres, and there is almost no fossil evidence by which to evaluate the assumptions of phylogeny which have been based on present morphology.

The variation in number of species on large islands can be predicted more accurately than the variation on small ones, and multiple linear regression gives better "goodness of fit" than curvilinear analysis.

The principle of harmoniously stabilized gene-complexes will account for the extension of the range of particular genecombinations beyond the areas for which they were initially selected, and the restriction of intermediates to narrow zones between the ranges of the favoured stabilized combinations.

The study reported in this paper is to investigate whether multiple factor analysis could be used to describe and evaluate taxonomic relationships among organisms.

50 Citations1939W. Frank Blair
The mammalian fauna of Oklahoma, until recently, has been less well known than that of perhaps any other state, and the only list of the mammals of the state is a list of 57 species and races none substantiated by records-prepared by Howard Cross and published in Snider (1917: 201).

39 Citations1964Albert Arking
Television pictures from the Tiros III satellite have been analyzed on a computer to give the latitudinal distribution of cloud cover during the summer of 1961 and show good agreement with the longterm average cloudiness derived from data accumulated during 50 years of ground observations.
Systematic BiologyInapplicability of the Subspecies Concept to North American Marten
31 Citations1958Edwin M. Hagmeier
An attempt was made to test the conclusion that partitioning of the species into subspecies was completely arbitrary, because most variation was clinial, and because at least some characters varied discordantly, by mapping characters singly as two-dimensional clines and in combination as averages of slopes of clines.

The ecologist who travels through Texas and Oklahoma might assume that the area could be easily divided into regions which are biotically distinct, but many of the differences result from attempts to separate communities by a line drawn on a map.

It is maintained in the early portion of this paper that the Neoarctic′ and Palæarctic faunas taken individually exhibit a marked absence of positive distinguishing characters, a deficiency which in the mammalia extends to families, genus, and species.
