A protocol for data exploration to avoid common statistical problems (2010, methodology): “…practices (Roberts, Stewart & Pullin 2006; Pullin & Knight 2009), and applied ecologists have become increasingly sophisticated in the statistical methods that they use (e.g. Ellison 2004; Stephens et al. 2005; Robinson & Hamann 2008; Koper & Manseau 2009; Law et al. 2009; Sonderegger et al. 2009).”
Fitting complex ecological point process models with integrated nested Laplace approximation (2013, methodology): “In other words, conditional on the random field, the point pattern may be described by the statistical model for complete spatial randomness, the Poisson process (Illian et al. 2008; Law et al. 2009).”
On tests of spatial pattern based on simulation envelopes (2014, background): “Many writers have agreed, advising that ‘‘envelope tests should not be thought of as formal tests of significance’’ (Law et al. 2009:619) and drawing a distinction between invalid envelope tests and valid deviation tests (Grabarnik et al. 2011).”
Species associations in an old‐growth temperate forest in north‐eastern China (2010, methodology): “To answer our ecological questions, we used conceptually simple nonparametric techniques in the spirit of an exploratory analysis (Law et al. 2009).”
Spatial variation in below‐ground seed germination and divergent mycorrhizal associations correlate with spatial segregation of three co‐occurring orchid species (2012, methodology): “We used spatial point pattern analysis techniques (Wiegand &Moloney 2004; Perry, Miller & Enright 2006; Law et al. 2009).”
Strong plant-soil associations in a heterogeneous subtropical broad-leaved forest (2011, background): “Ecologists are interested in the mechanisms that determine species distributions in forests because understanding these mechanisms will improve our understanding of species coexistence overall (He et al. 1997; Law et al. 2009).”
