Multiscale effects of flow regime and habitat and their interaction on fish assemblage structure in eastern Australia (2007, background): “Second, the manner in which biological assemblages are characterised may influence the strength and nature of species–environment relationships detected (Cushman and McGarigal 2004); however, this has received little attention in studies of aquatic ecosystems.”
Spatial patterns in the understorey shrub genus Psychotria in central Amazonia: effects of distance and topography (2005, background): “Results of ordination analysis are sensitive to the choice of dissimilarity measure (Cushman & McGarical 2004).”
The influence of landscape, patch, and within-patch factors on species presence and abundance: a review of focal patch studies (2010, background): “Species distribution or abundance patterns may be influenced more strongly by fine-scale features of the environment (such as vegetation structure) with which they interact most directly rather than more diffuse influences as coarser-scales (Cushman and McGarigal 2004a).”
Promising the future? Global change projections of species distributions (2007, background): “Abundance data usually give much better ecological information, allowing us to estimate population sizes and so forth (Cushman & McGarigal, 2004).”
Influence of landscape structure and stand age on species density and biomass of a tropical dry forest across spatial scales (2011, background): “Yet, the degree to which landscape configuration affects the structure and composition of plant communities depends on processes occurring at different spatial scales (Cushman and McGarigal 2004).”
Focused identification of germplasm strategy (FIGS) detects wheat stem rust resistance linked to environmental variables (2011, background): “Further it is suggested that trait-environment relationships may be influenced by the scale at which both independent and dependent variables are measured (Cushman and McGarigal 2004; Tautenhahn et al. 2008).”
