Are there habitats that contribute best to plant species diversity in coastal dunes? (2009, background): “The importance of conserving not only species richness but to focus also on rare and endangered species has been already emphasized by previous authors in different ecosystems (e.g. Obeso and Aedo 1992; Mills and Schwartz 2005; Pearman and Weber 2005).”
Are richness patterns of common and rare species equally well explained by environmental variables (2011, background): “…on quantifying the relative contribution of rare and common species to species richness patterns (Lennon et al. 2004, Vázquez and Gaston 2004, Kreft et al. 2006, Pearman and Weber 2007, Mazaris et al. 2008) have found common species responsible for most of the variance in richness patterns.”
Biodiversity and extinction: the importance of being common (2008, background): “Gland, Switzerland: IUCN (World Conservation Union).”
Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges (2016, unknown): “Many biodiversity 709 assessments today are based on genus or ‘higher’ taxa (e.g. Williams and Gaston, 1994; Andersen, 710 1995; Pearman and Weber, 2007).”
Imperfect detection is the rule rather than the exception in plant distribution studies (2013, methodology): “Journal of Ecology © 2012 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 101, 183–191 To accommodate different flowering phenologies, field botanists sample transects once in spring and once in late summer (Plattner, Birrer & Weber 2004; Pearman & Weber 2007).”
Quantifying plant species diversity in a Natura 2000 network: Old ideas and new proposals (2008, background): “Some authors (e.g. Jiguet and Julliard, 2006; Pearman and Weber, 2007) reported that the species richness patterns of common species reflected those of all species and, consequently, data about common species can be used to make inference for the species richness patterns of all species.”
Rapid evaluation of threats to biodiversity: human footprint score and large vertebrate species responses in French Guiana (2010, background): “For such purposes, key species groups (e.g. seed predators, disseminators, predators) should be preferred as surrogates for the overall community, providing more complete and more objective information (Pearman and Weber 2007).”
