The spatial scaling of beta diversity (2013, background): “This idea underpins the species–area relationship, and might be used in the partitioning of species diversity for the same taxa across geographic scales (Gering et al., 2003).”
Plant-insect interactions in fragmented landscapes. (2004, background): “The importance of small-scale spatial turnover for regional biodiversity appears to have been underestimated in the past (48, 159).”
The preservational fidelity of evenness in molluscan death assemblages (2007, result): “First, like richness, PIE is additive—i.e., its value for a pooled set of samples equals or exceeds the average value of the individual samples (Lande 1996; Veech et al. 2002; Gering et al. 2003; Crist et al. 2003; Patzkowsky and Holland 2005; Layou and Holland 2005).”
Mapping More of Terrestrial Biodiversity for Global Conservation Assessment (2004, background): “Several recent ecological papers on the partitioning of regional biodiversity into components of alpha and beta diversity have helped to provide a strong theoretical foundation for the richness‐turnover view of biodiversity adopted here (Arita and Rodriguez 2002, Gering et al. 2003 ).”
Spatial mismatch and congruence between taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity: the need for integrative conservation strategies in a changing world. (2010, background): “Effective conservation strategies in a changing world should also rely on the maintenance of species, functional and evolutionary processes at different spatial scales (Gering et al. 2003; Brooks et al. 2006; Lee & Jetz 2008).”
Spatiotemporal changes of beetle communities across a tree diversity gradient (2009, background): “…that mono-dominant beech stands alone are unsatisfactory in conserving the full set of regional beetle species richness, as opposed to findings by Gering et al. (2003), who recommend that rather than maintaining high local tree diversity, establishment of multiple forest sites within ecoregions…”
Spatial hierarchical approach in community ecology: a way beyond high context-dependency and low predictability in local phenomena (2004, background): “…ecology (e.g., Wagner et al. 2000; Wellnitz et al. 2001), population ecology (e.g., Caffey 1985; Fowler et al. 1992; Hughes et al. 1999; Noda and Nakao 1996; Fauchald et al. 2000; Menendez and Thomas 2000; Takada and Miyashita 2004), and conservation biology (e.g., Saab 1999; Gering et al. 2003).”
Partitioning the diversity of riverine fish: The roles of habitat types and non-native species (2007, methodology): “…Biology, 52, 1400–1415 I used the recently proposed approach of additive partitioning (e.g. Loreau, 2000; Wagner et al., 2000; Veech et al., 2002; Gering et al., 2003; Stendera & Johnson, 2005) to examine the contribution of running water habitat types to ecoregion level species diversity.”
Impacts of rain forest fragmentation on butterflies in northern Borneo: species richness, turnover and the value of small fragments (2006, methodology): “To examine the contributions of different fragments to overall butterfly diversity, we used additive partitioning (Crist et al . 2003; Gering, Crist & Veech 2003 ) in which observed species richness and diversity were partitioned into positive, additive components within sites ( α 1 ), between site”
Partitioning diversity for conservation analyses (2010, methodology): “In fact, a very high similarity value using the Gini–Simpson index is universal in additive partitioning studies of high-diversity ecosystems (e.g. DeVries et al., 1997; Gering et al., 2003; Summerville et al., 2003, 2006; Stendera & Johnson, 2005; Chandy et al., 2006; Ribeiro et al., 2008).”
On defining and quantifying biotic homogenization (2006, methodology): “We identify the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches, and make explicit recommendations for future studies.”
