Predicting the effects of increasing temporal scale on species composition, diversity, and rank-abundance distributions (2010, methodology): “…limitation defined as the effective number of immigrants that compete with the J – 1 individuals when one spot in the local assemblages becomes free [Etienne and Olff 2004a,b]) are estimated by maximum-likelihood methods from the species-abundance distributions of multiple living assemblages…”
The impact of neutrality, niche differentiation and species input on diversity and abundance distributions (2007, background): “…the equilibrium abundance distribution are now available for a neutral community (Volkov et al. 2003, Alonso and McKane 2004, McKane et al. 2004, Etienne and Olff 2004, Etienne 2005), or with symmetrical density-dependence (Volkov et al. 2005), and beta-diversity can be predicted under…”
Neutral theory in community ecology and the hypothesis of functional equivalence (2005, background): “2003; Vallade & Houchmandzadeh 2003; Houchmandzadeh & Vallade 2003; McKane, Alonso & Sole 2004; Etienne & Olff 2004).”
Limiting similarity and functional diversity along environmental gradients (2005, background): “Hubbell 1979), but because our metacommunity is static, we refer to it as a regional species pool ( Etienne & Olff 2004 ).”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “, see reference 29) are ecologically functionally equivalent, and species dynamics are controlled by stochastic processes but not by the differences in their competitive abilities (28, 29, 95, 96).”
The lognormal distribution is not an appropriate null hypothesis for the species–abundance distribution (2005, methodology): “Etienne & Olff (2004) used an ingenious new method to obtain the ZSM distribution and found, again with BCI > 10 cm d.b.h. trees, that the lognormal did better, but only weakly so.”
Neutral theory in macroecology and population genetics (2006, background): “Recent advances in the field have led to several analytical forms of species abundance models (Vallade and Houchmandzadeh 2003, Volkov et al. 2003, Alonso and McKane 2004, Etienne and Olff 2004, and particularly Etienne 2005), whose sampling formula explicitly incorporates immigration rate.”
Hubbell's fundamental biodiversity parameter and the Simpson diversity index (2005, methodology): “Since the development of Hubbell’s zero-sum multinomial model, several metacommunity models have been derived (Vallade & Houchmandzadeh 2003; Volkov et al. 2003; Etienne & Olff 2004 ).”
Statistical mechanics of ecological systems: Neutral theory and beyond (2015, background): “An exciting approach pioneered by Etienne and Olff, as well as by Alonso, considers a coalescent-type phenomenon where community members are traced back to their ancestors that once immigrated into the community [46, 49].”
Towards a really unified theory for metacommunities (2005, methodology): “For example, Volkov et al . (2003) used a very detailed dataset of tropical forest trees on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama to show that the neutral theory’s predicted zero-sum multinomial appears to show a significantly better fit to empirical data of rank‐abundance relationships than a log-nor”
