Phylogenetic alpha and beta diversity in tropical tree assemblages along regional-scale environmental gradients in northwest South America (2014, background): “Although a few studies in tropical forests have evaluated the role of historical and environmental factors underlying patterns of species composition, a great deal of additional research is needed to fully integrate the evolutionary history into ecological analyses (e.g. Graham and Fine 2008).”
Woody Plant Diversity, Evolution, and Ecology in the Tropics: Perspectives from Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (2009, methodology): “Community phylogenetics has been used to explain community diversity maintained by ecological filtering, competitive exclusion (e.g., Emerson & Gillespie 2008, Webb et al. 2002, Vamosi et al. 2009), or over ecological gradients (e.g., Graham & Fine 2008, Hardy 2008, Hardy & Senterre 2007).”
Stygobiotic crustacean species richness: a question of numbers, a matter of scale (2010, background): “…in groundwater communities, together with the evaluation of phylogenetic diversity within and among groundwater assemblages (Hardy & Senterre, 2007; Graham & Fine, 2008; Ricklefs, 2008), will clarify the more significant ecological processes responsible for the observed patterns of point-species…”
Using trait and phylogenetic diversity to evaluate the generality of the stress‐dominance hypothesis in eastern North American tree communities (2014, methodology): “Where trait information has been unavailable, the phylogenetic structure of communities has frequently been used as a proxy for functional structure (Bryant et al. 2008, Cadotte et al. 2008, Graham and Fine 2008).”
Soil pH and biome are both key determinants of soil archaeal community structure (2015, methodology): “To infer ecological processes, we used phylogenetic turnover, which is the evolutionary distance separating OTUs found in one community from OTUs found in a second community (Graham and Fine, 2008; Stegen et al., 2012).”
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology. (2009, background): “…to link short-term local processes to continental and global processes that occur over deep evolutionary time scales (Losos 1996; Ackerly 2003; Ricklefs 2004; Pennington et al. 2006; Mittelbach et al. 2007; Swenson et al. 2007; Donoghue 2008; Emerson & Gillespie 2008; Graham & Fine 2008).”
A framework for delineating biogeographical regions based on species distributions (2010, background): “Comparing grid assemblages and regions in their phylogenetic similarity rather than just presence/absence of taxa is likely to facilitate an array of novel, probably deeper, evolutionary interpretations (Graham & Fine, 2008).”
Species contribute differently to the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic alpha and beta diversity of freshwater fish communities (2014, background): “By adopting a multifaceted approach to studying biodiversity patterns, a unique perspective on the mechanisms influencing communities’ composition, structure and dynamics can thus be gained (D ıaz et al., 2007; Graham & Fine, 2008; Cadotte et al., 2009; Reiss et al., 2009).”
Shocks to the system: community assembly of the oak savanna in a 40-year fire frequency experiment (2012, background): “…are drawn from different lineages across the phylogeny, then increasing differences in fire regime between communities should increase phylogenetic beta diversity, or phylogenetic dissimilarity between communities (sensu Bryant et al. 2008, Graham and Fine 2008, Sander and Wardell-Johnson 2011).”
Dispersal traits drive the phylogenetic distance decay of similarity in Neotropical stream metacommunities (2015, background): “Phylobetadiversity differs from classical taxonomic beta diversity – i.e. compositional differences between communities (Whittaker, 1960) – by including a temporal dimension that quantifies how evolutionary relatedness among species changes across space (Graham & Fine, 2008).”
Geographic patterns and environmental correlates of taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversity for large‐scale angiosperm assemblages in China (2020, background): “Analogous to taxonomic β-diversity, which measures change in species composition across space, phylogenetic β-diversity measures the extent to which assemblages differ in terms of the evolutionary relationships of its members (Graham and Fine 2008).”
Beyond taxonomic diversity patterns: how do α, β and γ components of bird functional and phylogenetic diversity respond to environmental gradients across France? (2011, neutral): “Less attention has been given, however, to the relationship between the b-diversity component of each facet and environmental or spatial gradients, although they can help understand processes that are behind the maintenance of diversity (Graham & Fine, 2008).”
Unifying Species Diversity, Phylogenetic Diversity, Functional Diversity, and Related Similarity and Differentiation Measures Through Hill Numbers (2014, background): “…into diversity analysis since the 1990s (Faith 1992; Warwick & Clarke 1995; McPeek & Miller 1996; Crozier 1997; Webb 2000; Webb et al. 2002, 2006; Helmus et al. 2007; Graham & Fine 2008; Cavender-Bares et al. 2009, 2012; Pavoine et al. 2009a, 2010; Ives &Helmus 2010, 2011; Vellend et al. 2011).”
From Animalcules to an Ecosystem: Application of Ecological Concepts to the Human Microbiome (2012, background): “The human microbiome is frequently characterized as having high beta diversity, defined as the taxonomic or phylogenetic difference in community composition between samples [see Anderson et al. (2011) and Graham & Fine (2008) for an overview of the various beta diversity metrics].”
Elevational gradients in phylogenetic structure of ant communities reveal the interplay of biotic and abiotic constraints on diversity (2011, background): “Our work adds to a growing number of studies that have examined phylogenetic structure (Emerson and Gillespie 2008, Graham and Fine 2008, Algar et al. 2009, CavenderBares et al. 2009, Vamosi et al. 2009).”
Taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic metacommunity ecology of cladoceran zooplankton along urbanization gradients (2018, background): “This metacommunity phylogenetics approach assumes that functional differentiation among species is correlated with divergence time from a common ancestor, so that closely related species are expected to respond similarly to environmental and spatial gradients (Graham and Fine 2008, Wiens et al.”
