A comparison of the species–time relationship across ecosystems and taxonomic groups (2006, background): “This means that species richness cannot be reliably compared across sites or ecosystems without information about both the temporal and spatial scale of sampling (Rosenzweig 1995, Adler and Lauenroth 2003).”
On the use of species-area curves to detect the effects of sample size (2007, background): “Perhaps what is surprising, at least to an archaeologist or paleontologist (e.g., Barnosky et al., 2005), is the recent recognition by ecologists that not only does an increase in the sampled amount of geographic space result in more species, but so too does the amount of time sampled ( Adler and La”
Predicting the effects of increasing temporal scale on species composition, diversity, and rank-abundance distributions (2010, background): “Such accumulation is equivalent to STRs that describe community changes with increasing time span of sampling and with increasing numbers of sampled individuals (Preston 1960; Rosenzweig 1998; McKinney and Frederick 1999; Adler and Lauenroth 2003; Adler et al. 2005; White et al. 2006).”
Warming leads to higher species turnover in a coastal ecosystem (2010, methodology): “Species–time relationships (STR) have been introduced as one analytical tool to describe the increase of species richness over cumulative sampling time (Adler & Lauenroth, 2003; Adler et al., 2005; White et al., 2006).”
Demography of perennial grassland plants: survival, life expectancy and life span (2008, unknown): “Adler & Lauenroth (2003) used species–time relationships to show that the high rates of species turnover in these plant communities were driven by the rapid dynamics of the forbs.”
Shapes and functions of species–area curves (II): a review of new models and parameterizations (2009, methodology): “Model (7) is the same as the ‘full’ species–time–area model used by Adler & Lauenroth (2003) and Adler et al. (2005).”
Uncovering the complete biodiversity structure in spatial networks: the example of riverine systems (2020, background): “…we may get things wrong or miss important parts: only by looking at multiple species (versus looking at a single one) can we study species interactions; only by studying more than one patch can we understand if metapopulation dynamics are driving a system (Adler and Lauenroth 2003, Altermatt et al.”
Contrasting Relationships between Precipitation and Species Richness in Space and Time (2007, methodology): “Increasing plot size would decrease temporal turnover (Adler and Lauenroth 2003), dampening interannual variability in richness.”
Implications of Time-Averaged Death Assemblages for Ecology and Conservation Biology (2013, background): “With increasing length of time or area sampled, species accumulate in an assemblage because the probability of immigration by species increases and new habitats or environmental conditions are added (Preston 1960, Adler & Lauenroth 2003, Adler et al. 2005).”
How is diversity related to species turnover through time (2007, background): “The exponent of the species time curve is smaller in larger areas, and the exponent of the species area curve decreases when habitats are sampled over longer periods (Adler and Lauenroth 2003, Adler et al. 2005). Second, the rate of species accumulation through time is often lower when average commu”
EVIDENCE FOR A GENERAL SPECIES–TIME–AREA RELATIONSHIP (2005, methodology): “Adler and Lauenroth (2003) took a first step in this direction by constructing a species-time-area-relationship (STAR) with data for tallgrass prairie plants in Kansas, modeling species number as a function of the area and time-span of sampling as well as their interaction.”
From communities to continents: beta diversity of herbivorous insects (2005, background): “This is illustrated by the limited attention paid to the species–time relationship, describing the accumulation of species in time, compared to the wellknown species–area relationship (Adler & Lauenroth 2003).”
Biodiversity change is uncoupled from species richness trends: Consequences for conservation and monitoring (2018, background): “Statistically, the rate of turnover in time will decrease with increasing spatial scale of sampling, reflecting a common species- time- area relationship, STAR (Adler & Lauenroth, 2003; Adler et al., 2005).”
Power‐law species–area relationships and self‐similar species distributions within finite areas (2004, background): “It is thus necessary to look for spatial population processes that generate self-similarity, i.e. to consider the dynamic nature of species assemblages (Adler & Lauenroth 2003).”
