Statistical challenges in null model analysis (2012, methodology): “Eighteen matrices were jointly detected by the nearest neighbor distance and the Morisita index (advocated by Leibold and Mikkelson 2002 and Presley et al. 2010) as being aggregated (Ulrich and Gotelli unpubl.).”
Disentangling community patterns of nestedness and species co‐occurrence (2007, background): “These results are also consistent with a wider range of potential patterns of coherence, species turnover, and boundary clumping that can be described for presence-absence matrices (Leibold and Mikkelson 2002, Almeida-Neto et al. 2007).”
Network properties of an epiphyte metacommunity (2007, background): “Leibold & Mikkelson (2002) characterize nestedness with species ‘replacements’, namely pairs of species that substitute each other’s interactions, which is analogous to checkerboard distributions in island biogeography (Diamond 1975).”
Effects of large-scale disturbance on metacommunity structure of terrestrial gastropods: temporal trends in nestedness (2007, methodology): “That is, for each season the original data matrix was ordinated through reciprocal averaging, coherence was assessed based on the number of embedded absences, and species turnover was quantified using the number of replacements as a test statistic (Leibold and Mikkelson 2002).”
Amphibian species richness across environmental gradients (2007, methodology): “To test whether these incidences differed from a null model of random placement of species in ponds, we employed the approach of Leibold and Mikkelson (2002) .”
Coexistence of the niche and neutral perspectives in community ecology. (2006, background): “…will differ strikingly from predictions of neutral models in other respects, such as strong overarching food web structure, shifts in species abundances along environmental gradients (e.g., Whittaker 1975) and species association patterns (Gotelli and Graves 1996, Leibold and Mikkelson 2002).”
Palaearctic biogeography revisited: evidence for the existence of a North African refugium for Western Palaearctic biota (2014, background): “We estimated the degree of range size coherence by the number of embedded absences within the first and last occurrence of each species in the ordinated matrix (Leibold & Mikkelson, 2002).”
Quantifying and interpreting nestedness in habitat islands: a synthetic analysis of multiple datasets (2015, background): “Anti-nestedness is a term that encompasses several patterns of community structure: high turnover (Leibold & Mikkelson, 2002), perfect checkerboards (Diamond, 1975b), the deviation from nestedness whereby within a set of sites species are only present in a single site (Poulin & Guégan, 2000), or…”
Structure in plant–animal interaction assemblages (2006, background): “Biogeographers and community ecologists have put substantial effort into exploring two particular kinds of pattern: nestedness (Atmar and Patterson 1993) and, to a lesser degree, compartmentation (Leibold and Mikkelson 2002).”
Seasonal drought limits tree species across the Neotropics (2017, methodology): “This pattern is characterized by the substitution of taxa from site to site, resulting in communities at opposite sides of the precipitation gradient being completely different in composition (Leibold and Mikkelson 2002).”
Spatiotemporal dynamics in a seasonal metacommunity structure is predictable: the case of floodplain‐fish communities (2013, methodology): “species-by-site matrix) of each month (March 2008, January–April 2009, March 2010 and March 2011) using the EMS framework developed by Leibold and Mikkelson (2002) and improved”
Identifying compartments in presence–absence matrices and bipartite networks: insights into modularity measures (2013, methodology): “A matrix is compartmentalized (sensu Leibold & Mikkelson, 2002) when the boundaries of different species ranges are clustered together, forming distinctive and repeated species compositions across an ordered set of sites.”
On nestedness analyses: rethinking matrix temperature and anti‐nestedness (2007, background): “High turnover Leibold and Mikkelson 2002 Variable 100% Variable Variable* 1”
Differences in habitat quality explain nestedness in a land snail meta‐community (2005, methodology): “Leibold and Mikkelson (2002) argued that prior to analysing the meta-community structure, the species-bysite matrix should be ordered according to the scores of the ordination and not in order of species richness, because turnover of species could be masked in the scatter of a not perfectly nested m”
