Phylogenetic and functional alpha and beta diversity in temperate and tropical tree communities (2012, background): “First there is a tremendous diversity within sites (i.e. alpha diversity) and 94 second there is a high diversity between sites (i.e. beta diversity)(Koleff et al. 2003; Kraft 95 et al. 2011).”
The elevational gradient in Andean bird species richness at the local scale: a foothill peak and a high‐elevation plateau (2005, result): “The Wilson-Shmida index produces results comparable to those of other b-diversity indices (Davis et al. 1999, Koleff et al. 2003).”
Diversity and assemblage structure of phytophagous Hemiptera along a latitudinal gradient: predicting the potential impacts of climate change (2005, background): “We expected that because more species are endemic to latitudes closer to the tropics, species turnover here would be higher (Stevens, 1989; Rosenzweig & Sandlin, 1997; Koleff et al ., 2003).”
Disentangling the effects of geographic distance and environmental dissimilarity on global patterns of species turnover (2012, background): “In particular, the high species richness of tropical regions might reflect, in part, high species turnover of specialized or sedentary populations (Stevens, 1989; Koleff et al., 2003; Buckley & Jetz, 2008).”
The latitudinal gradient of beta diversity in relation to climate and topography for mammals in North America (2009, unknown): “Meta-analyses of beta diversity (e.g. Koleff et al., 2003; Soininen et al., 2007) have shown that beta-diversity patterns vary in relation to the spatial scale of the study, the metrics used to characterize turnover, the taxonomic group, major environment (marine versus terrestrial), as well as the…”
Drivers of β‐diversity along latitudinal gradients revisited (2013, background): “Ecologists have generally agreed that b-diversity is a key determinant of global patterns of species richness (e.g. Stevens, 1989; Koleff et al., 2003; Qian & Ricklefs, 2012).”
Spatial hierarchical approach in community ecology: a way beyond high context-dependency and low predictability in local phenomena (2004, background): “While is not yet possible to conclude that it is a general pattern, latitudinal decline in b-diversity has been detected in various communities (e.g., Hubbell 1979; Buzas and Culver 1999; Clark and Lidgard 2000; Koleff et al. 2003; Okuda et al. 2004).”
Climatic history and dispersal ability explain the relative importance of turnover and nestedness components of beta diversity (2012, background): “…richness at broad scales (e.g. Hawkins, 2001; Hawkins et al., 2003; Terribile et al., 2009), there has been an increasing interest in the factors that drive changes in beta diversity at macroecological scales (e.g. Williams, 1996; Koleff et al., 2003; Veech & Crist, 2007; Melo et al., 2009).”
A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena (2010, methodology): “Most studies that have used beta-turnover as a measure of ‘‘beta diversity’’ have applied it to sampling unit pairs (Simmons and Cowling 1996, Naranjo et al. 1998, Davis et al. 1999, Koleff et al. 2003a, b, Bach et al. 2007).”
From communities to continents: beta diversity of herbivorous insects (2005, background): “These trends combined should result in an increasing rate of species turnover from high to low latitudes, a pattern indeed confirmed for vertebrates and plants, but no information is available on insects (Koleff et al. 2003b, Rodriguez & Arita 2004).”
