• Measuring diversity: the importance of species similarity. (2012, methodology): “Jost (2006, 2007, 2009) has argued eloquently for the primacy of effective numbers.”
• Partitioning diversity for conservation analyses (2010, methodology): “First, its fundamental premise, that diversity can be equated with complexity measures such as Shannon entropy and the Gini–Simpson index (heterozygosity), leads to logical contradictions in conservation analyses (Jost, 2009).”
• Comparing measures of species diversity from incomplete inventories: an update (2010, background): “This encourages, in combination with other preferential properties (e.g. Jost 2006, 2007, 2009), the use of this measure in biodiversity studies.”
• The Relation between Evenness and Diversity (2010, background): “I have argued elsewhere [6,11-14] that the concept of diversity, especially in conservation applications, should be quantified by measures of compositional complexity that obey the “replication principle”.”
• Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges (2016, unknown): “…et al., 2011), and in the increasing adoption and use of Hill’s (1973) unified notation of 83 diversity indices and related evenness measures (e.g. Jost, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010a, 2014; Hoffman 84 and Hoffman, 2008; Chao et al., 2010, 2012, 2014a, 2014b; Colwell, 2010; Ellison, 2010; Jost et…”
• Unifying Species Diversity, Phylogenetic Diversity, Functional Diversity, and Related Similarity and Differentiation Measures Through Hill Numbers (2014, background): “The property has been extensively discussed by many authors (MacArthur 1965, 1972;Whittaker 1972;Hill 1973; Peet 1974; Routledge 1979; Jost 2006, 2007, 2009; Ricotta & Szeidl 2009; Jost et al. 2010) and has been extended to phylogenetic and functional diversity measures (Chao et al. 2010, Chiu &…”
