INTERPOLATING, EXTRAPOLATING, AND COMPARING INCIDENCE-BASED SPECIES ACCUMULATION CURVES (2004, background): “The study of empirical species–area relationships (e.g., Rosenzweig 1995, Scheiner 2003) generally focuses on, or at least admits, the latter source of sample-size dependence.”
The island species–area relationship: biology and statistics (2012, background): “We refer to this latter, classic type of SAR as island species–area relationships (ISARs; cf. type IV curves sensu Scheiner, 2003).”
Conservation Biogeography: assessment and prospect (2005, background): “An important contribution to our understanding of SPARs is provided by Rosenzweig (1995, 2003), who demonstrated the importance of separating out different categories of curve (and see Scheiner, 2003, 2004; Gray et al., 2004a,b).”
Biogeographical determinants for total and endemic species richness in a continental archipelago (2010, methodology): “(1994, 2003, 2004, 2006), Raus (1989, 1996a, b), Snogerup and Snogerup (1987, 1993), Snogerup et al. (2001), Strid and Tan (1998), Trigas and Iatrou (2006), Tzanoudakis et al. (2006). Data concerning the numbers of endemic species were obtained from the floristic-phytogeographical database ‘‘Chloris”
Habitat fragmentation and the species–area relationship: a focus on total species richness obscures the impact of habitat loss on habitat specialists (2014, methodology): “Herein, we are concerned with type IV SARs sensu Scheiner (2003), also known as island species–area relationships or ISARs (Whittaker & Fern andez-Palacios, 2007), which document the number of species within each isolate versus the area of each isolate.”
Rarefaction method for assessing plant species diversity on a regional scale (2004, methodology): “According to Scheiner (2003), we are dealing with a type II data set, which is an array of equal sub-areas in a continuous grid.”
Which function describes the species–area relationship best? A review and empirical evaluation (2009, methodology): “Scheiner (2003) initiated renewed debate (Gray et al., 2004a,b; Scheiner, 2004; Whittaker & Fernández-Palacios, 2007; see Table 1) on the various types of SARs and the need to distinguish them from what he calls accumulation or rarefaction curves.”
Patterns of species richness on very small islands: the plants of the Aegean archipelago (2006, background): “In the search for the best mathematical description of the SAR, a variety of models, linear and nonlinear, have been proposed (see review by Scheiner, 2003; Tjørve, 2003).”
When family matters: an analysis of Thelotremataceae (Lichenized Ascomycota: Ostropales) as bioindicators of ecological continuity in tropical forests (2008, background): “Log-transformation is appropriate since richness parameters, especially species richness, correlate with area in logarithmic fashion (Scheiner et al. 2000; Sagar et al. 2003; Scheiner 2003, 2004 ).”
Experimental evidence does not support the Habitat Amount Hypothesis (2017, unknown): “These constitute ‘island’ and ‘nested’ sampling schemes, respectively, which are both valid methods for constructing SAR’s (Scheiner 2003).”
Plant and bird diversity in natural forests and in native and exotic plantations in NW Portugal (2010, background): “This finding is relevant because while intra-patch SAR curves necessarily express a non-decreasing relationship between area and the number of species, inter-patch SAR curves are not under such constraint (Scheiner, 2003).”
Microbial macroecology: highly structured prokaryotic soil assemblages in a tropical deciduous forest (2005, methodology): “A related sampling procedure uses strictly nested quadrats (type I in Scheiner, 2003 ), in which only one quadrat is sampled at each scale and smaller quadrats are nested within larger ones.”
Rethinking patch size and isolation effects: the habitat amount hypothesis (2013, background): “Many researchers have constructed species–area curves across habitat patches of different sizes (i.e. Type IV curves sensu Scheiner, 2003; or island species–area curves, ISARs; Triantis et al., 2012), confirming the species–area relationship for habitat patches, for a wide range of taxa, including…”
Quantifying plant species diversity in a Natura 2000 network: Old ideas and new proposals (2008, background): “the distance among sites (Nekola and White, 1999) or the total extension of the network ( Scheiner, 2003 ).”
