Prospects for survival in the Southern Ocean: vulnerability of benthic species to temperature change (2005, background): “This is called taxonomic distinctness, and several interesting diversity indices have been developed recently that include taxonomic distinctness (Webb 2000, Warwick & Clarke 2001).”
Integrating micro- and macroevolutionary processes in community ecology (2003, background): “Such macroevolutionary approaches may reveal patterns of phylogenetic attraction (Webb 2000) or repulsion (J. Cavender-Bares, D. D. Ackerly, D. Baum, and F. A. Bazzaz, unpublished manuscript) among members of a community (see Box 1 and Fig.”

Phylogenies and Community Ecology (2002, methodology): “Metrics of Community Phylogenetic Structure Metrics that quantify the distribution of taxa in a sample relative to a pool have been developed by Webb (2000).”
The biogeographic history of ruminant faunas determines the phylogenetic structure of their assemblages at different scales (2014, background): “…more closely related to each other than would be expected by chance (phylogenetic clustering), less closely related than expected by chance (phylogenetic overdispersion or evenness) or whether they represent a random subset of the regional pool of species (Webb 2000, Webb et al. 2002).”
Diversity hotspots and conservation gaps for the Chinese endemic seed flora (2016, methodology): “The “known” molecular and fossil dates used to calibrate the supertree are estimates, but they improve the robustness of phylogenetic analyses of endemism in comparison to the alternative, which is to use nodal distances (Webb, 2000).”
Phylogenetic turnover in tropical tree communities: impact of environmental filtering, biogeography and mesoclimatic niche conservatism (2012, background): “This pattern was found in most studies conducted at a deep taxonomic scale (here in angiosperm communities), at least in the presence of environmental gradients (e.g. Webb, 2000; Kembel & Hubbell, 2006; Hardy & Senterre, 2007; Parmentier & Hardy, 2009; reviewed in Vamosi et al., 2009).”
Shocks to the system: community assembly of the oak savanna in a 40-year fire frequency experiment (2012, methodology): “Frequently, information on functional traits may be limited or lacking, particularly for species rich communities (e.g., Webb 2000, Strauss et al. 2006, Cadotte et al. 2010, Davies et al. 2010), or the functional traits critical for community assembly may be unknown.”
On the inconsistency of pollinator species traits for predicting either response to land-use change or functional contribution (2018, methodology): “2007), previous analysis indicates marked improvements of phylogenetic analyses when even a limited number of nodes are properly dated (Webb 2000).”
Functional diversity measures: an overview of their redundancy and their ability to discriminate community assembly rules (2010, methodology): “Therefore, investigating community structure with complementary methods such as phylogenetic relatedness (Webb 2000; Webb et al. 2002) through co-occurrence patterns (Cavender-Bares et al.”
Change in community phylogenetic structure during tropical forest succession: evidence from New Guinea (2012, methodology): “…lineages. e challenge of explaining elevated tropical plant diversity has made the region a particular target for community phylogenetic analysis (Webb 2000, Kembel and Hubbell 2006, Kress et al. 2009, Gonzalez et al. 2010, Letcher 2010). e island of New Guinea, although recognized for high…”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, methodology): “Besides taxonomic metrics, the null model approach has also been widely incorporated into the development of phylogenetic -diversity metrics, such as NRI (net relatedness index) and NTI (nearest-taxon index) (83, 206).”
Patterns of functional diversity across an extensive environmental gradient: vertebrate consumers, hidden treatments and latitudinal trends (2003, background): “It has often been found that species within communities represent non-random subsets of regional faunas from phylogenetic or taxonomic perspectives (Williams 1964; Simberloff 1970; Webb 2000; Enquist et al. 2002).”
