• Tree diversity analysis: a manual and software for common statistical methods for ecological and biodiversity studies (2006, methodology): “Some surveys used 100 × 100 m2 plots for differences in tree species composition of humid forests (Pyke et al. 2001, Condit et al. 2002), or for studies of forest fragmentation (Laurance et al. 1997).”
• Long-term erosion of tree reproductive trait diversity in edge-dominated Atlantic forest fragments (2009, positive): “Straight-line distances between plots were ln-transformed, as suggested by Condit et al. (2002) and Jones et al. (2006).”
• Using generalized dissimilarity modelling to analyse and predict patterns of beta diversity in regional biodiversity assessment (2007, methodology): “Figure 2 presents an example of a GDM model (Faith & Ferrier, 2002) fitted to rainforest-tree data from 34 plots in Panama (this data set is described by Condit et al., 2002).”
• Neutral theory in macroecology and population genetics (2006, background): “A recent example of such an approach is the paper by Condit et al. (2002) which estimated the probability that two trees in tropical forests separated by distance r are of the same species, assuming a Gaussian diffusion dispersal process and ecological drift.”
• A floristic analysis of the lowland dipterocarp forests of Borneo (2003, background): “Distances were log-transformed because this has been shown to reflect the rapid decline of similarity between locations at short distances much better than a linear relationship (Condit et al., 2002).”
