Conservation Paleobiology: Leveraging Knowledge of the Past to Inform Conservation and Restoration (2015, background): “For example, with progressive temporal pooling at a site, richness increases, largely through the capture of rare species, and evenness increases, owing to switching among short-term dominants (Tomasovych & Kidwell 2009a, 2010a).”
Implications of Time-Averaged Death Assemblages for Ecology and Conservation Biology (2013, methodology): “As a result, with progressive time averaging, the number of rare species increases, each of the rare species becomes rarer (constitutes a smaller proportion of all individuals), and local-scale richness increases, even when sample size is held constant (Tomasovych & Kidwell 2010a) (Figure 1).”
