Habitat variation, species diversity and ecological functioning in a marine system (2008, methodology): “For this paper, sites from exposed areas to the north of Kawau Bay were selected for use and 6 - 10 samples from each site chosen that maximised the within-site species richness (as per Ellingsen et al., 2007).”
Animal-sediment relationships re-visited: Characterising species' distributions along an environmental gradient using canonical analysis and quantile regression splines (2008, methodology): “It is also recognised that rarer taxa will almost certainly also show patterns of change along this gradient (Ellingsen et al., 2007) and, indeed, the CAP analysis was used to ensure that the gradient model was built using the entire multivariate assemblage.”
A latent threat to biodiversity: consequences of small-scale heterogeneity loss (2010, result): “The percentage of rare species (those found in only one or two samples) we observed at our least contaminated site (42%) was similar to other figures reported for marine systems (Schlacher et al. 1998; Shin and Ellingsen 2004; Ellingsen et al. 2007).”
