How many dimensions are needed to accurately assess functional diversity? A pragmatic approach for assessing the quality of functional spaces (2015, background): “In contrast, the potential biases of using a dendrogram on the quality of data representation have until recently been ignored in functional ecology (but see Chao et al., 2014).”
Using functional and phylogenetic diversity to infer avian community assembly along elevational gradients (2019, neutral): “…signal of determin‐ istic processes by highlighting the extent of variation among traits or tips in a phylogeny within assemblages (i.e., the distribution of units within assemblages; Swenson, 2014; Tucker et al., 2017), while controlling for effects of species richness (Chao, Chiu, & Jost, 2014).”
From environmental DNA sequences to ecological conclusions: How strong is the influence of methodological choices? (2019, methodology): “We used the Jaccard-type overlap (UqN) as a measure of similarity (Chao et al., 2014) and we fitted a linear model using the log transformation of similarity against the geographic distance to evaluate the distance– decay.”
Thirty years of progeny from Chao’s inequality: Estimating and comparing richness with incidence data and incomplete sampling (2017, methodology): “Also, replicated incidence data support statistical approaches to richness estimation that are just as powerful as corresponding abundance-based approaches (Chao et al., 2014b).”
Species Richness: Estimation and Comparison (2016, background): “A related issue is that it is almost impossible to generalize the parametric approach to incorporate species’ evolutionary histories or functional differences among species based on species traits([28]).”
MoB (Measurement of Biodiversity): a method to separate the scale-dependent effects of species abundance distribution, density, and aggregation on diversity change (2018, background): “…and functional diversity measures share many properties of taxonomic diversity that we have overviewed here (e.g., scale-dependence, non-linear accumulations, rarefactions, etc) (e.g., Chao et al. 2014), and it would seem quite useful to extend our framework to these sorts of diversities.”
Nonparametric Estimation and Comparison of Species Richness (2016, methodology): “The notation and terminology used here generally follow that of Colwell et al. (2012) and Chao et al. (2014).”
Measurements of POI-based mixed use and their relationships with neighbourhood vibrancy (2017, neutral): “Ecologists have unified diversity indices into a form called Hill numbers (MacArthur 1965, Hill 1973, Jost 2006, Chao et al. 2014).”
Estimating diversity and entropy profiles via discovery rates of new species (2015, methodology): “The sampling model and estimation are provided in Colwell et al. (2012) and Chao et al.”
entropart : An R Package to Measure and Partition Diversity (2015, background): “This framework is somehow different from that of Chao, Chiu, and Jost (2014) who define α diversity in another way (see Marcon and Hérault 2015, for a detailed comparison), such that α entropy is not the average surprise of an assemblage.”
Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges (2016, neutral): “FD (differences among taxon traits) and phylogenetic diversity (based on taxon 1213 evolutionary history) (Chao et al., 2010, 2014a, 2014b; Chiu and Chao, 2014) have now been 1214 integrated into a single framework of attribute diversity based on Hill numbers of taxonomic entities, 1215 functional…”
Rarefaction and extrapolation of phylogenetic diversity (2015, methodology): “Here we apply the procedures proposed in Chao et al. (2014) to compare standardized samples between the two sites as follows:”
