A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena (2010, methodology): “The codominance index C(d) (used also by Chave and Leigh 2002 and Condit et al. 2002) quantifies the probability that two individuals drawn at random from sampling units d kilometres apart belong to the same species.”
The impact of neutrality, niche differentiation and species input on diversity and abundance distributions (2007, methodology): “In order to test how dispersal and niche partitioning affect abundance distributions, we had to resort to simulations, as did Loreau and Mouquet (1999), Bastolla et al. (2001), Chave and Leigh (2002) , Schwilk and Ackerly (2005) and Gravel et al. (2006).”
Neutral theory and community ecology (2004, background): “…that individuals can only disperse onto nearest neighbouring 2004 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS communities or sites, or by simulating a variety of more realistic dispersal curves, for instance a Gaussian or a Lévylike dispersal curve (Chave & Leigh 2002; Chave et al. 2002; Levin et al. 2003).”
Hubbell's fundamental biodiversity parameter and the Simpson diversity index (2005, background): “…treatment of the subject (Hubbell 2001), the neutral theory of biodiversity has become one of the most studied subjects in ecology (Bell 2001; Chave & Leigh 2002; Vallade & Houchmandzadeh 2003; Volkov et al. 2003; Alonso & McKane 2004; Etienne & Olff 2004; Chave 2004; Mckane et al. 2004; He…”
Using DNA to assess errors in tropical tree identifications: How often are ecologists wrong and when does it matter? (2010, background): “The intercept and slope of the relationship between community similarity and geographic distance are often interpreted to reflect the level of dispersal limitation in the landscape (Nekola and White 1999, Chave and Leigh 2002, Morlon et al. 2008).”
The problem of pattern and scale in ecology: what have we learned in 20 years? (2013, background): “Long-distance dispersal is also crucial to explain larger scale biogeographical patterns such as beta-diversity (Chave & Leigh 2002) and island biogeography (Emerson & Gillespie 2008).”
Towards a really unified theory for metacommunities (2005, background): “Hubbell (2001) developed a neutral theory of community structure (see also Caswell 1976; Hubbell 1979; Hubbell & Foster 1986; Bell 2000, 2001, 2003; Chave & Leigh 2002; Chave 2004).”
Diversity and dominance in palm (Arecaceae) communities in terra firme forests in the western Amazon basin (2004, background): “According to the neutral theory, spatially limited seed dispersal could cause floristic similarity to decline with logarithmic distance (Hubbell 2001; Chave & Leigh 2002; Condit et al. 2002).”
Spatial patterns of tree species richness in two temperate forests (2011, background): “One promising alternative summary statistic of community structure is the decay of similarity with distance curve (Chave & Leigh 2002; Condit et al. 2002; Morlon et al. 2008; (McGill 2010).”
Modes of speciation and the neutral theory of biodiversity (2007, background): “…to community ecology (Brown 2001, De Mazancourt 2001, Jetschke 2002) and has stimulated the development of more advanced neutral community theory (Chave and Leigh 2002, Vallade and Houchmandzadeh 2003, Etienne 2005), it has also been heavily criticized (Abrams 2001, Clark and McLachlan 2003,…”
Network isolation and local diversity in neutral metacommunities (2010, background): “…spatially implicit (Hubbell 2001, Etienne 2005) or constructed with two dimensional landscapes (Durrett and Levin 1996, Bell 2000, Hubbell 2001, Chave and Leigh 2002, Condit et al. 2002, Rosindell and Cornell 2007), the consequences of spatial complexity for neutral pattern are still largely…”
Statistical mechanics of ecological systems: Neutral theory and beyond (2015, methodology): “It can also be defined as the probability F (r) that two individuals at a distance r are conspecific [32].”
Current measures for distance decay in similarity of species composition are influenced by study extent and grain size (2012, methodology): “If used appropriately the distance–decay relation is proposed as a powerful tool for testing mechanistic ecological theories (Chave & Leigh, 2002; Condit et al., 2002).”
Predicting the effects of increasing temporal scale on species composition, diversity, and rank-abundance distributions (2010, background): “Spatial variation in composition among non-averaged assemblages is thus expected to be higher in neutral than in non-neutral models where such mechanisms operate (e.g., Chave and Leigh 2002; Munoz et al. 2008).”
