The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Pollen diversity captures landscape structure and diversity (2015, background): “Tuomisto (2012) argues that evenness may be obtained as the ratio of diversity and richness.”
Functional Molecular Diversity of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter Is Reduced during Degradation (2017, background): “Quantifying diversity, and biodiversity in particular, is an ongoing challenge faced by ecologists (Menhinick, 1964; Hurlbert, 1971; Hill, 1973; Washington, 1984; Gotelli and Colwell, 2001; Magurran, 2003; Tuomisto, 2012).”
Multiple plant traits shape the genetic basis of herbivore community assembly (2015, methodology): “…separate one-way ANOVAs (with ‘STATS’ package in R; R Core Team 2013) to test for differences in the following responses: total richness, abundance, rarefied richness (using individual-based rarefaction; Gotelli & Colwell 2001), evenness (1E = exp(Shannon entropy)/richness; Tuomisto 2012) and PLAR.”
Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges (2016, unknown): “As Jost (2010a) shows, richness and evenness are not numerically independent of each other, 409 whereas diversity and evenness are numerically independent because one does not constrain the 410 range of values that can be taken by the other in any way (Tuomisto, 2012).”
