The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Partitioning abundance‐based multiple‐site dissimilarity into components: balanced variation in abundance and abundance gradients (2017, unknown): “In both cases, the substitution and subset components of total dissimilarity can be separated (Baselga 2010, 2012, 2013b; Legendre 2014; Baselga & Leprieur 2015).”
Beta diversity of plants, birds and butterflies is closely associated with climate and habitat structure (2017, background): “our dependent variable), but we acknowledge that pairwise dissimilarity might not represent the overall compositional heterogeneity within the species pool (Baselga, 2013).”
A meta‐analysis of nestedness and turnover components of beta diversity across organisms and ecosystems (2018, background): “Briefly, for estimating overall heterogeneity in communities, multiple site metrics may be more reliable than average pairwise metrics (Baselga, 2013).”
Interpreting the replacement and richness difference components of beta diversity (2014, methodology): “These global indices offer simple alternatives to the multiple-site indices proposed by Baselga (2010, 2013b).”
