The use of camera‐trap data to model habitat use by antelope species in the Udzungwa Mountain forests, Tanzania (2008, neutral): “Simpson’s index was employed rather than the Shannon diversity index as it is less affected by sample size (Magurran, 2004).”
How to make more out of community data? A conceptual framework and its implementation as models and software. (2017, methodology): “Currently, the most popular tools used to study community structure are distance-based ordinations (e.g. Gauch 1982; ter Braak & Prentice 1988; Legendre & Legendre 2012) and diversity measures (see Magurran 2004).”
Contrasting patterns in species and functional-trait diversity of bees in an agricultural landscape (2015, methodology): “We calculated Fisher’s a as a diversity metric and as a means of summarizing the speciesabundance distribution; it represents, roughly, the expected number of rare species in a sample of a given number of species and individuals (Magurran 2004).”
Identifying recorder-induced geographic bias in an Iberian butterfly database (2006, methodology): “Lithology diversity was estimated for each grid cell by applying the Shannon diversity index (Magurran 2004) to the primary lithology variables.”
The role of environment and mid-domain effect on moth species richness along a tropical elevational gradient (2007, methodology): “For the fourth approach, to allow comparison with other studies that use it, we computed Fisher’s alpha, a widely used index of diversity that is relatively insensitive to undersampling (Magurran, 2004).”
Changes in pollinator fauna cause spatial variation in pollen limitation (2010, positive): “ulations using Bray–Curtis index (Magurran 2004).”
Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges (2016, positive): “…(beta diversity) 839 within modern assemblages from different vegetation or habitat types or geographical areas (e.g. 840 Ricotta et al., 2002; Magurran, 2004; Kindt and Coe, 2005; Kindt, 2014; Terlizzi et al., 2014) and to 841 compare richness, evenness, and diversity properties of different…”
The relationship between species richness and taxonomic distinctness in freshwater organisms (2005, background): “A major benefit of this index over species richness is its virtual independence of sampling effort (Magurran 2003).”
UniFrac – An online tool for comparing microbial community diversity in a phylogenetic context (2006, positive): “Phylogenetic techniques for comparing microbial communities have only recently been introduced [11-13], and can be more informative than traditional "species"-based methods such as the Jaccard and Sörenson indices (described in [14]).”
Reducing the Effects of PCR Amplification and Sequencing Artifacts on 16S rRNA-Based Studies (2011, positive): “observed richness) and using the reciprocal of the Simpson Index as described by Magurran [41]:”
