Drivers of β‐diversity along latitudinal gradients revisited (2013, background): “The latitudinal diversity gradient – the number of species per unit area decreases from the equator to poles – has been known for over a century (Darwin, 1859; Wallace, 1878), but the causes of this diversity gradient remain poorly resolved (Mittelbach et al., 2007).”
From diversity indices to community assembly processes: a test with simulated data (2012, background): “This combination favours the coexistence of different but functionally related species in local communities (Mizera and Meszena 2003).”
Patterns, Causes, and Consequences of Anthropocene Defaunation (2016, background): “As with PD, anthropogenic change generally tends to cause higher FD loss than species loss, and high functional loss may be observed even without loss in α-diversity (D’agata et al. 2014, Meynard et al. 2011).”
Contrasting changes in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity during a long‐term succession: insights into assembly processes (2013, background): “Second, phylogenetic diversity may represent a more inclusive overall measure of ecological similarity than measures of functional diversity, which are based on a limited set of traits (Cadotte et al. 2009; Meynard et al. 2011).”
French citizens monitoring ordinary birds provide tools for conservation and ecological sciences (2012, methodology): “In France, a breeding bird survey is running since 1989 and offers keen birdwatchers to count spring birds annually during 5 min exactly on 10 fix points within a randomly selected square.”
Partitioning taxon, phylogenetic and functional beta diversity into replacement and richness difference components (2014, background): “Thus, the last decade has seen a growing interest in alternative representations of biodiversity, including phylogenetic diversity (PD) and functional diversity (FD) (Devictor et al., 2010; Meynard et al., 2011; Stegen & Hurlbert, 2011).”
Ecological drivers of multiple facets of beta diversity in a lentic macroinvertebrate metacommunity (2017, background): “Rather, current ideas emphasize that multiple facets of biodiversity should be considered more fully to provide a clearer picture of spatial patterning of ecological communities (Graham and Fine 2008; Meynard et al. 2011).”
Impacts of agricultural intensification on bird communities: New insights from a multi-level and multi-facet approach of biodiversity (2016, background): “Agricultural intensification can also affect functional diversity but not necessarily in the same direction as taxonomic diversity, depending on the spatial scale considered (Devictor et al., 2010; Filippi-Codaccioni et al., 2010; Meynard et al., 2011).”
