Benthic invertebrate communities on three seamounts off southern and central California, USA (2009, methodology): “Curves were calculated using EstimateS version 8.0 (Colwell 2005) and were plotted for each seamount using 1 km bins of the total distance traversed and species presence/absence data within those bins.”
A weak upward elevational shift in the distributions of breeding birds in the Italian Alps (2009, methodology): “As the number of squares varied with elevation, the consistency of the observed pattern of species richness was controlled for using rarefaction methods with EstimateS (Colwell, 2005).”

Size does matter – effects of tropical rainforest fragmentation on the leaf litter ant community in Sabah, Malaysia (2003, methodology): “Species accumulation curves and estimators were calculated using the computer package EstimateS 5.0 (Colwell 1997), randomising the data 100 times.”

Predicting species distributions from herbarium collections: does climate bias in collection sampling influence model outcomes? (2007, methodology): “For each of the 10 equal-interval climate bins, we used plant collection data, with grid cells as samples, to determine the average number of species found in 500 collections using rarefaction techniques in EstimateS (Colwell, 2005).”
Successional dynamics of woody seedling communities in wet tropical secondary forests (2005, methodology): “This was done using EstimateS software (Version 7.5, Colwell 2005), computing the mean number of species in a randomized sample of 1375 seedlings (340 tree seedlings), based on 200 randomizations.”
Island biogeography of tropical alpine floras (2014, methodology): “The curves were obtained with the software package EstimateS (Colwell, 2004), and the species numbers (Mao tau estimate) were plotted against cumulative mountain area obtained by 1000 randomizations.”
How do habitat variability and management regime shape the spatial heterogeneity of birds within a large Mediterranean urban park (2008, methodology): “Sampling effort Sampling effort was estimated for each of the 21 locations sing a sample-based rarefaction curve (Colwell et al., 2004). he expected species accumulation curve for each location was alculated using the Sobs (Mao Tau) estimator in the software stimateS 7.5 (Colwell, 2005).”

Local richness and distribution of the lizard fauna in natural habitat mosaics of the Brazilian Cerrado (2009, methodology): “…estimators (Colwell & Coddington 1994), often more accurate than the alternative curve-fitting methods (Brose et al. 2003; Walther & Moore 2005), based on rarefaction curves derived from 1000 randomizations of the original sampling order, without replacement, using EstimateS 7.5 (Colwell 2005).”
Biofuel Plantations on Forested Lands: Double Jeopardy for Biodiversity and Climate (2009, methodology): “Species accumulation curves were computed for both data sets with EstimateS (Colwell 2005) and samplebased rarefaction (Colwell et al. 2004).”
Human perturbations reduce dung beetle diversity and dung removal ecosystem function (2021, methodology): “The order of entrance of the sampling units in the curve was randomized 100 times in EstimateS version 9.1.0 (Colwell, 2013), and inventory completeness was assessed from the final slope of this smoothed curve (i.e., the difference in observed richness between the last two sampling units; Hortal &…”
Bird responses to shade coffee production (2004, methodology): “Species richness was compared graphically using species accumulation curves constructed from the means of 100 randomisations of sample order (Colwell & Coddington, 1997; Colwell, 2000). Sample effort varied among treatments (see Table 1). Therefore, we calculated the expected number of species per h”
