From communities to continents: beta diversity of herbivorous insects (2005, background): “As sampling grain increases, biotic assemblages appear more homogeneous as each of the study areas encompasses a wider range of the available environments (Mac Nally et al. 2004).”
Partitioning the diversity of riverine fish: The roles of habitat types and non-native species (2007, background): “Additive diversity partitioning may also have contributed to a recent shift in diversity research, with recent focus on the importance of beta diversity for understanding landscape/regional scale patterns of species diversity (e.g. Koleff, Gaston & Lennon, 2003; Mac Nally et al., 2004; Legendre, Bor”
The spatial distribution of birds and carabid beetles in pine plantation forests: the role of landscape composition and structure (2007, unknown): “In such heterogeneous mosaics, assessment of the effects of matrix composition on biodiversity is best achieved when studying simultaneously several taxonomic groups that respond to different spatial scales, such as birds and insects (Mac Nally et al., 2004; Bossenbroek et al., 2005).”
Patterns of beta diversity in Europe: the role of climate, land cover and distance across scales (2012, background): “Second, as sampling grain increases, the variability of the mean environmental conditions decreases as a result of spatial averaging (Levin, 1992; Mac Nally et al., 2004; Gaston et al., 2007b).”
Spatial scale and the diversity of macroinvertebrates in a Neotropical catchment (2010, result): “Diego Macedo helped in the confection of the map.”
Biogeographical patterns derived from remote sensing variables: the amphibians and reptiles of the Iberian Peninsula (2009, methodology): “The chorotypes were determined through a Hierarchical Cluster Analysis using the binary Jaccard’s index, which measured similarities among species distributions (Mac Nally et al., 2004; Smith, 2006), performed with SPSS 13.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA).”
An empirical evaluation of the area and isolation paradigm of metapopulation dynamics (2007, methodology): “We provide an abbreviated description here; these methods have been described in detail previously (Dobkin and Wilcox, 1986; Mac Nally et al., 2004).”
A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena (2010, background): “It seems that MacArthur (1965, p. 528) interpreted entropy accumulation curves in this way, rather than (as suggested by several authors) equating the slope of the curve with ‘‘beta diversity’’.”
