Species richness change across spatial scales (2019, background): “As a result, biodiversity change, and especially the 15 change in species richness through time, can often be scale-dependent (e.g., Sax and Gaines 16 2003, Cassey et al. 2006, McGill et al. 2015, Vellend et al. 2017a).”
Biodiversity change is uncoupled from species richness trends: Consequences for conservation and monitoring (2018, methodology): “Thus, each pair- wise comparison between time points within a location was analysed against the temporal distance between the time points (Collins et al., 2000; Dornelas, Gotelli, et al., 2014; McGill et al., 2015).”
Biodiversity–ecosystem function experiments reveal the mechanisms underlying the consequences of biodiversity change in real world ecosystems (2016, background): “1; McGill et al. 2015; Gonzalez et al. 2016).”
The meaning of the term ‘function’ in ecology: A coral reef perspective (2018, background): “251 Around the world, ecosystems are reconfiguring as they respond to direct human 252 impacts and, more recently, global climate change (McGill et al. 2015).”
The Homogocene: a research prospectus for the study of biotic homogenisation (2018, background): “…literature is not entirely surprising; many of the conservation challenges facing society necessitates broadening our science from understanding individual species loss to anticipating multi-faceted changes to biodiversity (Naeem 2013, Dornelas et al. 2014, McGill et al. 2015, Socolar et al. 2016).”
Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges (2016, neutral): “…biologists (e.g. Hill, 1973; Jost, 2006; Dornelas et al., 2012; Gotelli and 93 Ellison, 2013; Chao et al., 2014a, 2014b; Chiu and Chao, 2014; McGill et al., 2015), it is timely to 94 review what data and numerical tools are needed to test whether there are statistically significant 95…”
Traits Without Borders: Integrating Functional Diversity Across Scales. (2016, background): “TPD functions can be used to evaluate mechanisms driving the spatial or temporal differences in the functional structure between populations, communities, or regions, that is, b-FD (see [76,77] for reviews on the questions that can be tackled by studying b-diversity).”
Is local biodiversity declining or not? A summary of the debate over analysis of species richness time trends (2018, background): “time-series to quantify local diversity change (Cardinale, 2014; Dornelas et al., 2014; Gonzalez et al., 2016; Hillebrand et al., 2018; McGill et al., 2015; Vellend et al., 2013; Vellend et al., 2017b).”
