Spatial extent, regional specificity and metacommunity structuring in lake macrophytes (2013, methodology): “Second, we conducted tests of homogeneity of multivariate dispersion (PERMDISP; Anderson, 2006; Anderson et al., 2006) to examine the multivariate dispersions across the lakes within each subregion.”
Testing the performance of beta diversity measures based on incidence data: the robustness to undersampling (2009, methodology): “Using (dis)similarity or related coefficients as measures of beta diversity is a common practice (Johannsson & Minns, 1987; Philippi et al., 1998; Anderson et al., 2006; Ferrier et al., 2007; Ricotta & Marignani, 2007).”
Restructuring the Sea: profound shifts in the world's most invaded marine ecosystem (2013, background): “Period and depth were subsequently explored in an multidimensional Scaling (MDS) performed to check for community dissimilarity (average distance from each sample to group centroids), which was also suggested by Anderson et al. (2006), to account for beta-diversity differences.”
Beta diversity and taxonomic sufficiency: Do higher‐level taxa reflect heterogeneity in species composition? (2009, background): “…radiata , collected in January–February 2002 from rocky subtidal habitats (11–15 m depth) at four locations separated by hundreds of kilometres along the north-east coast of New Zealand (e.g. Anderson et al ., 2005, 2006), namely Berghan Point (BP), Home Point (HP), Leigh (LE) and Hahei (HA) (Fig.”
Species invasions and the changing biogeography of Australian freshwater fishes (2007, neutral): “Multivariate dispersion, a measure of beta-diversity, was quantified as the mean distance of all drainages to their group centroid ( Anderson et al. , 2006 ).”
Phyllostomid Bat Assemblage Structure in Amazonian Flooded and Unflooded Forests (2014, methodology): “A P-value was obtained using 999 permutations of the residuals from an ANOVA statistic (Anderson et al. 2006).”
Partitioning the diversity of riverine fish: The roles of habitat types and non-native species (2007, methodology): “Therefore, I also used the method of Anderson et al. (2006) to test for differences in compositional beta diversity among habitat types.”
The variation of tree beta diversity across a global network of forest plots (2012, background): “…variation approach to beta diversity does not define it in relation to any specific spatial or environmental structure, but as the variation in community structure among a set of sampling units within a given spatial extent (Koleff et al., 2003; Legendre et al., 2005; Anderson et al., 2006).”
Fungal community homogenization, shift in dominant trophic guild, and appearance of novel taxa with biotic invasion (2017, background): “Beta diversity, which describes variation in community composition across a given landscape (Anderson et al. 2006), was not only lower in association with invasion, but distinct between invasion statuses for the entire fungal community (Fig.”
Linking small-scale topography with microclimate, plant species diversity and intra-specific trait variation in an alpine landscape (2015, methodology): “Similarly, we derived a measure of beta diversity by estimating for each site the average multivariate dispersion of sample plots in community space, using the Jaccard index of community dissimilarity as a measure of compositional distance between sample plots (Anderson et al. 2006).”
A comparison of visual‐ and stereo‐video based fish community assessment methods in tropical and temperate marine waters of Western Australia (2013, methodology): “Data were transformed using a Modified Gower Log10 resemblance transformation (Anderson et al. 2006).”
From Classical to Canonical Ordination (2012, background): “Another transformation that reduces the asymmetry of heavily skewed abundance data is the one proposed by Anderson et al. (2006).”
Large Mammals in an Agroforestry Mosaic in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2012, methodology): “…in assemblage structure among sites was tested using analyses of multivariate homogeneity of group dispersions and permutation tests (10,000 randomizations), which contrast the average dissimilarity from individual sites to their group centroid in multivariate space (Anderson et al. 2006).”
