Inventorying and Estimating Subcanopy Spider Diversity Using Semiquantitative Sampling Methods in an Afromontane Forest (2002, background): “A diverse community might possibly yield fewer species and specimens per sample than a less diverse community, even though the former total species number was greater (Lande et al. 2000).”
Counting the Uncountable: Statistical Approaches to Estimating Microbial Diversity (2001, background): “Second, the rank order of observed richness values does not necessarily correspond to relative total richness, because rarefaction analyses do not exclude the possibility that the species accumulation curves cross at a higher sample size (34).”
Measurement of diversity indices of avian communities at Taunsa Barrage Wildlife Sanctuary, Pakistan. (2013, background): “As Simpson Diversity Index has swift convergence to limit diversity value for minor sample size, therefore, is principally suitable for rapidly evaluating regions for conservation (Lande et al., 2000).”
ESTIMATING SPECIES RICHNESS: SENSITIVITY TO SAMPLE COVERAGE AND INSENSITIVITY TO SPATIAL PATTERNS (2003, background): “Their performance varies with the underlying relative abundance distributions (Keating and Quinn 1998), spatial aggregation of species (Baltanás 1992) and habitat heterogeneity (Colwell and Coddington 1994, Lande et al. 2000).”
Comparing species richness among assemblages using sample units: why not use extrapolation methods to standardize different sample sizes? (2003, methodology): “Lande et al. (2000) suggest the use of the Simpson diversity index as a solution to ranking assemblages when using small sample sizes.”
Effects of Season and Vegetation Type on Community Organization of Dung Beetles in a Tropical Dry Forest 1 (2005, methodology): “2), I also calculated the Simpson index of diversity (defined as the probability of picking two organisms at random that are different species) for both forest types, as recommended by Lande et al. (2000).”
Effect of species richness and relative abundance on the shape of the species accumulation curve (2003, background): “apparent there are circumstances other than those described by Lande et al. (2000) where the species accumulation curves cross.”
Community organization and species richness of ants (Hymenoptera/Formicidae) in Mongolia along an ecological gradient from steppe to Gobi desert (2003, background): “As observed species richness depends strongly upon sample size, direct comparisons among communities that differ in the number of samples are not valid (Magurran, 1988, Lande et al., 2000).”
Estimating marine species richness: an evaluation of six extrapolative techniques (2003, methodology): “However, even widely accepted and applied indices such as Simpson’s D and the Shannon-Wiener H ’ can be more sensitive to sampling effort effects than might be desirable in ranking of habitats (Lande et al. 2000, Rumohr et al. 2001, Foggo et al. unpubl.).”
Coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation: standardizing samples by completeness rather than size. (2012, background): “…it is important to reiterate hat the main purpose of rarefaction a d extrapolation (of either kind) is to make meaningful and statistically reliable comparisons of well-defined subsets of each community, not to rank communities according to their true species richnesses (Lande et al. 2000).”
Dung Beetle Communities and Seed Dispersal in Primary Forest and Disturbed Land in Amazonia1 (2002, methodology): “Species richness was used as a measure of diversity due to the large sampling effort (DeVries et al. 1997, 1999; Lande et al. 2000).”
