The origin of urban communities: From the regional species pool to community assemblages in city (2020, methodology): “We then assess the relative importance of taxonomic and functional turnover and nestedness among UGS using the beta diversity decomposition by Baselga (2010, 2012) and Villéger, Grenouillet, and Brosse (2013).”
The Multidimensional Stoichiometric Niche (2017, methodology): “To discriminate between patterns 1 and 2, the nestedness of two niche volumes can be calculated as the ratio between the overlapped niche volume and the minimal niche volume occupied by a group (Villéger et al., 2013).”
Ecological drivers of multiple facets of beta diversity in a lentic macroinvertebrate metacommunity (2017, background): “In contrast, in mass effects, high dispersal rates may homogenize biological communities among nearby sites (Tolonen et al. in press) and lead to spatial autocorrelation in community composition (Vilmi et al. 2016).”
Interpreting the replacement and richness difference components of beta diversity (2014, background): “For the comparison of communities that are so geographically distant that they do not share species, analyses based on groups of species with similar traits, e.g. species guilds, may bring about useful comparative information (e.g. Villéger et al., 2013).”
Functional homogenization exceeds taxonomic homogenization among European fish assemblages (2014, methodology): “This discrepancy could be explained by the high functional richness and the low functional dissimilarity among European freshwater fish assemblages (Schleuter et al., 2012; Villéger et al., 2013) and by the low functional dissimilarity between native and translocated species that have evolved in bas”
Quantifying the multiple facets of isotopic diversity: New metrics for stable isotope ecology (2015, methodology): “Here we propose to use wo complementary metrics derived from functional ecology that re based on the volume of the intersection between two convex ulls (Villéger et al., 2011, 2013).”
How many dimensions are needed to accurately assess functional diversity? A pragmatic approach for assessing the quality of functional spaces (2015, background): “There is thus a slight latitudinal gradient in species and functional richness across Europe and a longitudinal decrease in functional richness from east to west but of lower magnitude than the decrease in species richness (Villéger et al., 2013).”
