Experimental design and the outcome and interpretation of diversity-stability relations (2011, methodology): “We modelled effect sizes using a random effects model with inverse variance weighting (Gurevitch et al. 2001, Bax et al. 2006).”
Alternatives to statistical hypothesis testing in ecology: a guide to self teaching. (2006, methodology): “This remains its primary use in medicine, where it has seen the most development, and also in ecology (Gurevitch et al. 2001).”
A meta-analysis of the effect of forest management for timber on understory plant species diversity in temperate forests (2013, background): “The degree of heterogeneity acceptable for these types of analyses in experimental ecology is constantly under debate (Gurevitch et al., 2001; Stewart, 2010).”
ENEMY RELEASE? AN EXPERIMENT WITH CONGENERIC PLANT PAIRS AND DIVERSE ABOVE- AND BELOWGROUND ENEMIES (2005, methodology): “We standardized data using ‘‘effect sizes’’ that represent an equalized currency so that values could be compared across interactions (Gurevitch et al. 2001, Lajeunesse and Forbes 2003).”
The use of fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of environmentally induced developmental instability: A meta-analysis (2013, methodology): “A significant QT indicates that variance amongst effect sizes is too different for meaningful comparison and suggests that other explanatory variables should be investigated (Cooper, 1998; Gurevitch et al., 2001).”
A global analysis of traits predicting species sensitivity to habitat fragmentation (2017, methodology): “We evaluated the influence of landscape and species characteristics on species occurrence in remnant patches using generalized linear mixed-effect models (Gurevitch et al., 2001).”
Effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on soil enzyme activity is coupled with increased plant biomass (2019, methodology): “The 95% bootstrap confidence intervals (CIs) for each mean lnR were obtained by 9,999 iterations of bootstrapping, which considered both the lnR and its variance for each observation (Gurevitch et al., 2001).”
Species abundance and asymmetric interaction strength in ecological networks (2007, methodology): “To estimate the average deviation between observed and expected correlations across studies, we calculated the weighted mean of zd, defined as z̄d Swi(zd)i/Swi, where the weights are w 1/var (zn) (Rosenthal 1991, Gurevitch et al. 2001).”
Simple traits do not predict grazing response in Australian dry shrublands and woodlands (2004, methodology): “Because species could have conflicting responses in different studies, and to address concerns about pooling incompatible results, meta-analysis was used ( Gurevitch, Curtis & Jones 2001 ).”
