When and how should biotic interactions be considered in models of species niches and distributions? (2017, background): “Biotic interactions lie at the heart of ecology, and great interest exists in studying their effects on species distributions and communities (Ferrier et al., 2007; Baselga & Ara ujo, 2009; Gilman et al., 2010; Meier et al., 2010; Guisan & Rahbek, 2011; Urban et al., 2012; Blois et al., 2013;…”
The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, methodology): “This technique is similar to Generalised Dissimilarity Modelling (GDM), which has been used in the context of terrestrial conservation planning (Ferrier et al. 2007) as a technique which models species turnover along environmental gradients instead of actual species.”
Unifying Species Diversity, Phylogenetic Diversity, Functional Diversity, and Related Similarity and Differentiation Measures Through Hill Numbers (2014, background): “For phylo-Sørensen, when N = 2 and q = 0, it reduces to the popular measure PhyloSør developed by Bryant et al. (2008) and Ferrier et al. (2007).”
Biodiverse, a tool for the spatial analysis of biological and related diversity (2010, background): “…diversity (Bickford et al. 2004), phylogenetic diversity (Faith 1992), phylogenetic endemism (Rosauer et al. 2009), and species turnover (Whittaker 1960), as well as correlations of these patterns with environmental and other related conditions (Bickford and Laffan 2006, Ferrier et al. 2007).”
Fidelity of variation in species composition and diversity partitioning by death assemblages: time-averaging transfers diversity from beta to alpha levels (2009, background): “This issue is particularly relevant for analyses that evaluate variation in beta diversity by modeling dissimilarity matrices (Ferrier et al. 2007) and for analyses that assess the rate of similarity decay with distance or spatial autocorrelation (e.g., Nekola and White 1999; Soininen et al. 2007;…”
Distance‐based multivariate analyses confound location and dispersion effects (2012, methodology): “…the association between multivariate abundances and other variables measured for each observation (whether experimental treatments, environmental variables or some combination thereof) using other distance-based methods (e.g. Clarke & Ainsworth, 1993; McArdle&Anderson 2001;Ferrier et al. 2007).”
Predicting impacts of climate change on biodiversity: a role for semi‐mechanistic community‐level modelling (2011, background): “, 2010), continuous gradients of turnover in species composition (e.g. Duckworth et al., 2000; Ferrier et al., 2007) and discrete community ‘types’ (e.”
