• Beyond long-term averages: making biological sense of a rapidly changing world (2014, background): “, weather), including extreme events [10,11] that are implicit in climatic predictions.”
• Quantifying effects of pollution on biodiversity: a case study of highly diverse molluscan assemblages in the Mediterranean (2005, result): “In any case, these findings support the view that careful studies of environmental impacts should consider potential effects on variances in addition to potential mean effects on single response variables (Bishop et al. 2002; Benedetti-Cecchi 2003 ).”
• Uses and abuses of fractal methodology in ecology (2004, background): “It is sometimes said that in ecology the variance is more informative than the mean (Benedetti-Cecchi 2003).”
