• MoB (Measurement of Biodiversity): a method to separate the scale-dependent effects of species abundance distribution, density, and aggregation on diversity change (2018, background): “…often lacks a simple answer, because the magnitude (and sometimes even the direction) of change in richness is strongly influenced by spatial scale (Chalcraft et al. 2004, Fridley et al. 2004, Knight and Reich 2005, Palmer et al. 2008, Powell et al. 2013, Blowes et al. 2017, Chase et al. 2018).”
• Stochastic and deterministic drivers of spatial and temporal turnover in breeding bird communities (2012, background): “The relationship between spatial turnover and primary production is highly variable among studies, with relationships ranging from positive (e.g. Chase, 2010) to unimodal (Chalcraft et al., 2004) to negative (e.g. Evans et al., 2008).”
• Long‐term changes in abundance and diversity of macrophyte and waterfowl populations in an estuary with exotic macrophytes and improving water quality (2007, background): “Scientists have found that in terrestrial systems, plant richness varies positively with plant abundance (for example, Loreau et al. 2001; Rajaniemi 2003) or quadratically (rising then falling) as biomass increases (Chalcraft et al. 2004).”
• A comparison of the species–time relationship across ecosystems and taxonomic groups (2006, background): “…/area relationship, estimates of species richness are dependent on the scale of observation, and conclusions based on analyses conducted at one scale may not be directly applicable at other scales (Levin 1992, Milne 1992, Rahbek and Graves 2001, Chase and Leibold 2002, Chalcraft et al. 2004).”
