The relationship between species replacement, dissimilarity derived from nestedness, and nestedness (2012, background): “The monotonic relationship between bsor and bjac is well known, as both are monotonic transformations of multiplicative beta diversity (Jost, 2007).”
A general framework for analyzing beta diversity, nestedness and related community-level phenomena based on abundance data (2013, background): “, 2006, 2010; Tuomisto 2010a,b) or as the ratio of two inventory diversities measured at different scales (i.e. gamma/alpha; Lande, 1996; Veech et al., 2002; Jost, 2007).”
Small but mighty: headwaters are vital to stream network biodiversity at two levels of organization (2011, background): “Indeed, any putative measure of b diversity that is dependent on a diversity to some degree is not robust for comparing regions with differing a diversity (Jost 2007).”
D vs. GST: Response to Heller and Siegismund (2009) and Ryman and Leimar (2009) (2009, positive): “Similar problems afflict the ecological equivalents of this measure (Jost 2006, 2007, 2009; Hardy & Jost 2008).”
Predicting the effects of increasing temporal scale on species composition, diversity, and rank-abundance distributions (2010, methodology): “…the doubling property, i.e., combining two equally large communities that do not share any species doubles the diversity (Hill 1973); and (3) ratios of the numbers equivalents have reasonable mathematical behavior that does not suffer from the false inflation characterizing raw indices (Jost 2006).”
Precipitation mediates the effect of human disturbance on the Brazilian Caatinga vegetation (2017, methodology): “To assess changes in species diversity, we used Hill numbers of order 0 (0D, species richness), 1 (1D, exponential Shannon entropy) and 2 (2D, inverse Simpson concentration) (Jost 2006, 2007), calculated with the entropart package for R (Marcon, Zhang & H erault 2014).”
Comparing methods to separate components of beta diversity (2015, background): “…of all the indices dis- cussed here was expected, as they are components of Jaccard and Sørensen dissimilarities, which themselves are monotonic transformations of multiplicative beta diversity, which is independent of alpha and gamma diversity (Jost 2007; Baselga 2010a; Chao, Chiu & Hsieh 2012).”
The importance of dispersal related and local factors in shaping the taxonomic structure of diatom metacommunities (2009, methodology): “The WM index has recently been shown to be the proper beta diversity measure in cases where the number of taxa is used as an alpha diversity measure (Jost 2007).”
Rarefaction and extrapolation with Hill numbers: a framework for sampling and estimation in species diversity studies (2014, positive): “Fifth, in the comparison of multiple assemblages, there is a direct link between Hill numbers and species compositional similarity (or differentiation) among assemblages (Jost 2007).”
Consistent patterns of elevational change in tree taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity across Malesian mountain forests (2013, background): “…Chao & Shen, 2003], is the most suitable true a-diversity or compositional complexity measure if neither common nor rare taxa are favoured (true diversity of order 1; Jost, 2007) and if under-sampling is suspected, particularly when sample completeness is more than 0.5 (Beck & Schwanghart, 2010).”
Complete biotic and sedimentary records of the Permian–Triassic transition from Meishan section, South China: Ecologically assessing mass extinction and its aftermath (2015, background): “Their numerical equivalent indicates changes of true diversity (Kosnik and Wagner, 2006; Jost, 2007).”
Fidelity of variation in species composition and diversity partitioning by death assemblages: time-averaging transfers diversity from beta to alpha levels (2009, methodology): “Therefore, we decompose total diversity with the Shannon entropy (H) that can be partitioned into independent alpha and beta components when sample sizes are unequal (Jost 2007).”
