The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Stochasticity, succession, and environmental perturbations in a fluidic ecosystem (2014, methodology): “Because the results from null model analyses are very sensitive to the models, approaches, and algorithms used (42), a second more restricted null model analysis (15) was performed based on EcoSim (43), keeping the number of species per site and the number of sites occupied by each species constant.”
Quantifying and interpreting nestedness in habitat islands: a synthetic analysis of multiple datasets (2015, methodology): “Bivariate plotting indicated a possible boundary effect in the top right quadrant, and thus we conducted boundary tests using ECOSIM (Gotelli & Entsminger, 2001).”
Habitat fragmentation and the species–area relationship: a focus on total species richness obscures the impact of habitat loss on habitat specialists (2014, methodology): “We also conducted boundary tests using ECOSIM (Gotelli & Entsminger, 2001) for each ratio plot to determine whether any corners of the plots contained fewer data points than expected by chance.”
