A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena (2010, background): “…Ruokolainen 2008, Ricotta and Burrascano 2009), and some studies have indeed used indices that are not derivable from alpha and gamma diversity and therefore do not correspond to any beta component (Oliver et al. 1998, Ellingsen and Gray 2002, Hewitt et al. 2005, Jankowski et al. 2009, Qian 2009).”
Habitat variation, species diversity and ecological functioning in a marine system (2008, background): “This also occurred at TIMR for the rubble habitat (RP), previously demonstrated to have high within-site variability (Hewitt et al., 2005).”
Beta diversity and taxonomic sufficiency: Do higher‐level taxa reflect heterogeneity in species composition? (2009, background): “From a more practical point of view, β-diversity is crucial for conservation issues (Hewitt et al., 2005; Winberg et al., 2007).”
The influence of invasive earthworms on indigenous fauna in ecosystems previously uninhabited by earthworms (2006, background): “Biotic diversity and abundance tend to be positively correlated with habitat complexity (MacArthur and MacArthur 1961; Hewitt et al. 2005).”
