Beta diversity of angiosperms in temperate floras of eastern Asia and eastern North America (2004, methodology): “For this reason, it is useful to compare the slopes of the relationships between the similarity of species in different areas and the distances between those areas (Qian et al. 1998; Nekola & White 1999; Vellend 2001).”
The partitioning of diversity: showing Theseus a way out of the labyrinth (2010, methodology): “Therefore, it is not surprising that using Jost versus NonJost indices does not markedly alter the relationship between b-diversity and environment (i.e. diversity turnover; Vellend 2001).”
From communities to continents: beta diversity of herbivorous insects (2005, background): “Vellend (2001) noted a distinction between the concept of beta diversity as among-plot variability in species composition independent of the position of individual plots on spatial or environmental gradients, and the concept of turnover in species composition along predefined gradients.”
A general framework for analyzing beta diversity, nestedness and related community-level phenomena based on abundance data (2013, background): “The overwhelming majority of beta diversity functions from both groups apply to presence-absence data (Vellend, 2001; Koleff et al., 2003; Tuomisto, 2010a, b), including the well-known Jaccard similarity index adapted by Whittaker (1960, p. 320) to this purpose.”
A comprehensive approach to analyzing community dynamics using rank abundance curves (2019, background): “Both are measures of beta diversity (dissimilarity of communities), where distance between centroids is turnover beta diversity, and dispersion is variation beta diversity (Vellend 2001, Anderson et al. 2011, Avolio et al. 2015).”
A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 1. Defining beta diversity as a function of alpha and gamma diversity (2010, background): “Many authors have commented on the confusion around the concept of beta diversity (Gray 2000, Vellend 2001, Koleff et al. 2003a, b, Novotny and Weiblen 2005).”
A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena (2010, methodology): “Beta-turnover then appears similar to 0bMt 1 g/at 1 (see also Vellend 2001).”
Elevational gradients of species diversity, breeding system and floral traits of orchid species on Réunion Island (2005, background): “…a lot of attention in the ecological literature (MacArthur & Wilson, 1967; MacArthur, 1972; Ricklefs & Schluter, 1993; Rosenzweig, 1995), and several measures to determine changes of composition have been proposed (Whittaker, 1960, 1972; Nekola & White, 1999; Vellend, 2001; Koleff et al., 2003).”
Co‐occurrence based assessment of habitat generalists and specialists: a new approach for the measurement of niche width (2007, unknown): “2003), which are profitably grouped into gradient and nongradient approaches (Vellend 2001).”

Homogenization of forest plant communities and weakening of species–environment relationships via agricultural land use (2007, background): “…large number of coefficients can be calculated to characterize the degree of (dis)similarity between a given pair of sites (Legendre & Legendre 1998; Vellend 2001), but all of the simple, commonly used indices are sensitive to the number of species in Location Sampling unit* Earliest historical…”
PARALLEL EFFECTS OF LAND‐USE HISTORY ON SPECIES DIVERSITY AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF FOREST HERBS (2004, methodology): “These analyses were conducted to address the potential importance of geographic separation on genetic and species turnover (sensu Vellend 2001).”
