A consistent metric for nestedness analysis in ecological systems: reconciling concept and measurement (2008, background): “Recently, Almeida-Neto et al. (2007) clarified that T is not a measure of disorder, as some authors have pointed out, because random distributions of 1’s tend to produce intermediate rather than maximal T-values. Further descriptions and details on this metric can be found in Wright et al. (1998), G”
A straightforward computational approach for measuring nestedness using quantitative matrices (2011, background): “…subsets, based on the “anti-nested” model proposed by Poulin and Guégan (2000), inwhich there is decreasing fill among all column pairs (see Almeida-Neto et al., 2007); (2) Compartmented model, constituted here by three subsets; (3) Full matrix, where all species occur in all sites and,…”
A consumer's guide to nestedness analysis (2009, methodology): “Among the gap metrics, only BR and NC appeared to be largely independent of matrix fill, shape and size, irrespective of null model (Ulrich and Gotelli 2007a, Almeida-Neto et al. 2008). To test whether the gap metrics are invariant to transposition and occurrence inversion we used a subset of 286 ma”
Statistical challenges in null model analysis (2012, background): “Almeida-Neto et al. 2007 for the use of antinestedness). The C-score (Stone and Roberts 1990) and other metrics of species associations (cf. Leibold and Mikkelson 2002, Baselga 2010, Podani and Schmera 2011) define a gradient from species segregation to random patterns to species aggregation. Recent”

Disentangling community patterns of nestedness and species co‐occurrence (2007, background): “They and Almeida-Neto et al. (2007) argue for a negative correlation between the degrees of nestedness and species segregation.”
