Measuring and Estimating Species Richness, Species Diversity, and Biotic Similarity from Sampling Data (2013, background): “The classic Morisita–Horn measure has recently been generalized to its phylogenetic version (de Bello et al., 2010).”
A guide for using functional diversity indices to reveal changes in assembly processes along ecological gradients (2013, background): “Various indices measure both functional richness and divergence (Mouchet et al. 2010) – FDvar (Mason et al. 2003), Rao quadratic entropy (de Bello et al. 2010) and functional dispersion (Laliberte & Legendre 2010).”
Effects of human‐modified landscapes on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic dimensions of bat biodiversity (2015, methodology): “R functions developed by de Bello et al. (2010) quantified Simpson’s index and Rao’s Q as numbers equivalent.”
Impacts of agricultural intensification on bird communities: New insights from a multi-level and multi-facet approach of biodiversity (2016, background): “…has been weakened by many methodological limitations, notably the nonindependence between real turnover and change in species richness (De Bello et al., 2010; Jost, 2007; Karp et al., 2012; see also Appendix A), and the inability to disentangle species-specific differences among sites…”
Measuring the functional redundancy of biological communities: a quantitative guide (2016, background): “For details, see Ricotta & Szeidl (2009) and de Bello et al. (2010).”
Single‐trait functional indices outperform multi‐trait indices in linking environmental gradients and ecosystem services in a complex landscape (2013, background): “…influence ESs through effects on underlying ecosystem processes, into biodiversity–ecosystem function research has provided important insights into the relationships among ESs (Kremen & Ostfeld 2005; Díaz et al. 2007; Hillebrand & Matthiessen 2009; Reiss et al. 2009; de Bello et al. 2010).”
Changes in coexistence mechanisms along a long‐term soil chronosequence revealed by functional trait diversity (2012, methodology): “RawRao values were converted to species richness equivalents (whereby Rao values are expressed in the same units as species richness) following de Bello et al. (2010): Raoequiv ¼ 1 1 Rao : Using this conversion, the value of Rao will be the same as the species richness equivalent for Simpson’s…”
Beyond taxonomic diversity patterns: how do α, β and γ components of bird functional and phylogenetic diversity respond to environmental gradients across France? (2011, unknown): “We have shown here that the Rao decomposition of diversity can be used to analyse the three facets of diversity under a common framework at different spatial scales (Pavoine & Dolédec, 2005; de Bello et al., 2010).”
Quantifying the relevance of intraspecific trait variability for functional diversity (2011, unknown): “…this established formulation also allows for pi „ 1 ⁄Nsp, which corresponds to the ‘weighted’ decomposition of diversity (Rao 1982; Ricotta 2005; de Bello et al. 2010), which in our case implies that the diversity within each species is weighted by a factor indicating the contribution of…”
Niche breadth, rarity and ecological characteristics within a regional flora spanning large environmental gradients (2012, background): “…¼ 1 1 Qb and ðcÞDa ¼ 1 1 Qa: ð2Þ The true b-diversity component Db is ‘the number of communities that have no diversity overlap’ (de Bello et al., 2010, p. 995) and Qb represents ‘the proportion of diversity accounted for by the differentiation between communities’ (de Bello et al., 2010, p. 996).”
French citizens monitoring ordinary birds provide tools for conservation and ecological sciences (2012, methodology): “The Rao quadratic entropy decomposition of diversity is used to calculate local, regional and turnover diversity for each diversity facet (de Bello et al., 2010), while spatial autoregressive models and partial regression analyses (Legendre and Legendre, 1998) are used to itoring ordinary birds…”
