Phyloecology of urban alien floras (2009, background): “…colonization of warm and dry urban environments within Europe, including large distributional ranges, long-term associations with anthropogenic environments and human- mediated biotic interchange (Lososová et al. 2004; Pyšek et al. 2005; Sádlo, Chytrý & Pyšek 2007; La Sorte et al. 2008).”
The Homogocene: a research prospectus for the study of biotic homogenisation (2018, result): “More nuanced investigations quickly followed and yielded divergent results according to the taxa (Kühn and Klotz 2006, Marchetti et al. 2006, Luck and Smallbone 2011), region (La Sorte et al. 2008) and spatial scale addressed (La Sorte et al. 2007, Trentanovi et al. 2013).”
Native and alien floras in urban habitats: a comparison across 32 cities of central Europe (2012, background): “…floras across large areas based on standardized sampling protocols are rare (but see Celesti-Grapow & Blasi, 1998; Loram et al., 2008) and a few published meta-analyses used data from various sources which may not be directly comparable (Pyšek, 1998; La Sorte et al., 2008; Ricotta et al., 2009).”
Biotic homogenization at the community scale: disentangling the roles of urbanization and plant invasion (2013, background): “Previous studies ranged widely in scale, from continental (La Sorte et al., 2007, 2008) to local (Wania et al., 2006; B€uhler & Roth, 2011), but were mostly based on data sets from heterogeneous environmental settings such as total cities (Ricotta et al., 2012), counties (Schwartz et al., 2006) or…”
Current measures for distance decay in similarity of species composition are influenced by study extent and grain size (2012, background): “Furthermore, distance–decay studies are frequently applied to samples of different grain size (plot size, such as islands or states; e.g. La Sorte et al., 2008; Fattorini, 2010; Steinbauer & Beierkuhnlein, 2010; Winter et al., 2010) implicitly assuming that the distance–decay relation is…”
Revealing a conservation challenge through partitioned long‐term beta diversity: increasing turnover and decreasing nestedness of boreal lake metacommunities (2013, background): “…ecosystems have shown that species invasions at early stages tend to increase turnover, suggesting that increased turnover might not only be a consequence of local extinctions of formerly more widespread species but also of locally invading species (La Sorte et al., 2008; Qian et al., 2008).”
Diversity of Central European urban biota: effects of human‐made habitat types on plants and land snails (2011, background): “The impact of urbanization on compositional similarity between North American and European urban floras was studied by La Sorte et al. (2007, 2008).”
Contrasting patterns and mechanisms of spatial turnover for native and exotic freshwater fish in Europe (2009, background): “…(species established from outside the biogeographical zone considered) with increasing distance between localities (La Sorte & McKinney, 2006; Qian & Ricklefs, 2006; La Sorte et al., 2008), a pattern also observed for a number of native communities (Nekola & White, 1999; Soininen et al., 2007).”
Taxonomic homogenization and differentiation across Southern Ocean Islands differ among insects and vascular plants (2010, background): “…the spatial and temporal patterns and consequences of homogenization (e.g. Clavero & Garcı́a-Berthou, 2006; Marchetti et al., 2006; McKinney, 2006; La Sorte et al., 2007, 2008; McKinney & La Sorte, 2007), much of the work continues to focus on a relatively restricted set of taxa and a common set…”
What drives study‐dependent differences in distance–decay relationships of microbial communities? (2021, background): “Distance– decay relationships are well documented in a multitude of plant and animal communities (e.g., multiple aquatic taxa, Astorga et al., 2012; tropical amphibians, Basham et al., 2019; multiple taxa, Soininen et al., 2007; urban plants, Sorte et al., 2008).”
A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena (2010, methodology): “Several other studies have used 1 Ssim itself as a measure of ‘‘beta diversity’’ (Koleff et al. 2003b, Mena and Vázquez-Domı́nguez 2005, Baselga and Jiménez-Valverde 2007, Baselga 2008, La Sorte et al. 2008, Qian 2008, 2009, Leprieur et al. 2009).”
