Beta diversity and the scale‐dependence of the productivity‐diversity relationship: a test in the Californian serpentine flora (2006, methodology): “Chase & Leibold (2002) demonstrated that the scale transition from a non-positive to a positive productivitydiversity relationship must involve an increase in beta diversity, or among-site dissimilarity in species composition.”
Light, nutrients and grazing interact to determine diatom species richness via changes to productivity, nutrient state and grazer activity (2009, background): “2000; Chase & Leibold 2002; Scholes et al .”
Increasing Cropping System Diversity Balances Productivity, Profitability and Environmental Health (2012, background): “The diversity-productivity-stability relationship has long been a key theme in ecology [28,29].”
Temperature, but not productivity or geometry, predicts elevational diversity gradients in ants across spatial grains (2007, background): “Furthermore, at large spatial grains, species richness often increases monotonically with productivity (Mittelbach et al. , 2001; Chase & Leibold, 2002; Hawkins et al. , 2003).”
THE IMPACT OF INSECTICIDES AND HERBICIDES ON THE BIODIVERSITY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF AQUATIC COMMUNITIES (2006, background): “…and theoretical push to understand the factors that determine species diversity and abundance in relatively pristine systems (Tilman et al. 2001, Chase and Leibold 2002, Downing and Leibold 2002, Naeem 2002), few habitats are untouched by anthropogenic effects, including the direct application…”

Strength, slope and variability of marine latitudinal gradients (2004, background): “…is also clearly related to the scale dependence of the productivity– diversity relationship (Waide et al. 1999, Mittelbach et al. 2001, Rajaniemi 2003), suggesting a rather unimodal response of diversity to productivity at local scales and linear at regional scales (Chase & Leibold 2002).”
Interactive effects of anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment and climate change on terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity (2013, background): “…Allen). c Fire risk increasing in the creosote bush scrub community (CB) as N deposition increases; MAP is mean annual precipitation. d The probability of fire is enhanced with N deposition and increased precipitation (c, d adapted from Rao et al. 2010) (Chase and Leibold 2002; Waide et al. 1999).”
DIVERSITY–PRODUCTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS IN STREAMS VARY AS A FUNCTION OF THE NATURAL DISTURBANCE REGIME (2005, background): “…different from the patterns observed across larger scales in natural ecosystems (Gross et al. 2000, Fridley 2001, Bengtsson et al. 2002, Chase and Leibold 2002, Symstad et al. 2003, Cardi- Manuscript received 3 November 2003; revised 12 May 2004; accepted 8 July 2004; final version…”
