Guild-specific responses of bats to landscape composition and configuration in fragmented Amazonian rainforest (2009, background): “all trophic groups represented), and phenetic diversity at sites in tropical regions ( Stevens & Willig 2002; Stevens, Willig & Strauss 2006).”
Patterns of functional diversity across an extensive environmental gradient: vertebrate consumers, hidden treatments and latitudinal trends (2003, methodology): “Details regarding these communities, criteria for selection and aspects of taxonomic diversity, including estimates of local and regional species richness, appear in Stevens (2002) and Stevens & Willig (2002).”
Relationships Among Indices Suggest that Richness Is an Incomplete Surrogate for Grassland Biodiversity (2005, methodology): “Stevens and Willig (2002) showed that spatial variation in richness was independent of variation in evenness in New World bat communities, with diversity emerging as a balance of richness and evenness.”
Reverse latitudinal trends in species richness of pitcher-plant food webs (2003, background): “Tramer 1974; Stevens & Willig 2002 ), surprisingly no previous study has quantified spatial patterns in richness for an entire, discrete multitrophic community throughout its entire geographical range.”
Beta diversity and latitude in North American mammals: testing the hypothesis of covariation (2004, background): “In fact Stevens and Willig (2002) indicated greater beta diversity toward the equator.”
A comparison of the species–time relationship across ecosystems and taxonomic groups (2006, background): “…and spatial turnover: 1) positive relationships, where high richness sites have high spatial turnover (Kaufman 1998, Clarke and Lidgard 2000, Stevens and Willig 2002), and 2) negative relationships, where high richness sites have low spatial turnover (Lennon et al. 2001, Lyons and Willig…”
Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators (2009, background): “Latitudinal gradients of biodiversity in New World bats are quite steep with regard to taxonomic (Willig & Selcer 1989, Willig & Sandlin 1991, Stevens & Willig 2002), functional (Stevens et al. 2003) and phenetic (Stevens et al. 2006) components, all attaining maxima in equatorial regions.”
MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF SCALE-DEPENDENT ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN BATS AND LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE (2005, unknown): “Many aspects of their biodiversity increase toward the tropics, including species density (Willig and Selcer 1989, Willig and Sandlin 1991) and a variety of metrics of taxonomic (Stevens and Willig 2002), functional (Stevens et al. 2004), and phenetic biodiversity (Stevens et al., in press).”
A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena (2010, background): “As the variability in gj among the sampling units increases, mean g/gF increasingly exceeds 0bMt. Stevens and Willig (2002) quantified ‘‘beta diversity’’ as 1 gF/g for different regions in the Americas such that gF values were taken from publications reporting numbers of species observed in field…”
Species diversity and structure of phytophagous beetle assemblages along a latitudinal gradient: predicting the potential impacts of climate change (2004, unknown): “Stork (1997) found higher species diversity in tropical beetle samples compared with temperate ones, in collections at the Natural History Museum (London).”
