• Undersampling and the measurement of beta diversity (2013, methodology): “Recently, several authors have attempted to straighten out the different aspects that have been summarized under the umbrella term ‘beta diversity’ (Whittaker, Willis & Field 2001; Jost 2007; Jurasinski, Retzer & Beierkuhnlein 2009; Jost et al. 2010; Tuomisto 2010a,b; Anderson et al. 2011; Jost, Cha”
• Beta diversity of plants, birds and butterflies is closely associated with climate and habitat structure (2017, background): “Species turnover contributed much more to total beta diversity than community dissimilarity due to nestedness, which is in line with the expectation that environmental filtering effects on community structure along environmental gradients mainly reveal turnover (Anderson et al., 2011).”
• Partitioning abundance‐based multiple‐site dissimilarity into components: balanced variation in abundance and abundance gradients (2017, neutral): “Incidence- and abundance-based dissimilarity indices provide markedly different information (Anderson et al. 2011; Barwell, Isaac & Kunin 2015).”
• Beta diversity of stream fish assemblages: partitioning variation between spatial and environmental factors (2017, background): “Here, we address variation between local assemblages (Anderson et al., 2011; Tuomisto, 2010b) using canonical analysis to determine how species composition is a function of environmental and spatial factors, both together and separately (Legendre, 2008; Legendre et al., 2005).”
• Bridging the variance and diversity decomposition approaches to beta diversity via similarity and differentiation measures (2016, methodology): “…work by Whittaker (1960, 1972), there have been a wide range of definitions, concepts andmeasures of beta diversity; see Jost (2007), Tuomisto (2010), Anderson et al. (2011), Chao, Chiu & Hsieh (2012), Legendre & Legendre (2012) and Legendre & De C aceres (2013) for reviews and references therein.”
• Current measures for distance decay in similarity of species composition are influenced by study extent and grain size (2012, background): “Turnover in species composition is the target variable of distance–decay studies (Anderson et al., 2011).”
• Topography related habitat associations of tree species traits, composition and diversity in a Chinese tropical forest (2014, background): “Determining the relative contribution of the factors influencing the structure and diversity of ecological communities along environmental gradients has been a persistent theme in ecology (Anderson et al., 2011), and is crucial for informed forest management practices such as selection of protected ”
