A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena (2010, background): “…because the number of individuals sampled is only 10% of the number of species present in each habitat, and it is unlikely that the same shared species happen to be sampled in both habitats (Wolda 1981, Scheiner 1990, Colwell and Coddington 1994, Plotkin and Muller-Landau 2002, Chao et al. 2006).”
Abundance‐Based Similarity Indices and Their Estimation When There Are Unseen Species in Samples (2006, methodology): “These indices, when estimated from samples, do not perform well (Wolda, 1981, 1983; Colwell and Coddington, 1994; Fisher, 1999; Plotkin and Muller-Landau, 2002).”
Species abundance distributions: moving beyond single prediction theories to integration within an ecological framework. (2007, background): “At smaller spatial scales the clumping of individuals can be modelled based on fractals (Harte et al. 1999), statistical mechanics (Harte et al. 2005), or Ripley s K-statistic (Plotkin & Muller-Landau 2002).”
A THEORY OF SPATIAL STRUCTURE IN ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES AT MULTIPLE SPATIAL SCALES (2005, background): “In general, k will be species and scale dependent (Plotkin and Muller-Landau 2002).”
A comparison of the species–time relationship across ecosystems and taxonomic groups (2006, background): “In general, any process that affects intraspecific aggregation, and therefore patchiness, will tend to generate negative correlations between richness and turnover (He and Legendre 2002, Plotkin and Muller-Landau 2002, Veech et al. 2003, Veech 2005).”
The lognormal distribution is not an appropriate null hypothesis for the species–abundance distribution (2005, methodology): “2003) use 1–2 (or 1, 2), 3–4, 5–8, etc., while Gray (1987), Plotkin & Muller-Landau (2002), O’Hara & Oksanen (2003) and Chave (2004) use 1, 2–3, 4–7, etc.”
Consequences of broadscale timber plantations for biodiversity in cleared rainforest landscapes of tropical and subtropical Australia (2005, unknown): “…as they surveyed small plots (typically, 0.0024 - 0.06 ha per plantation, for seedlings and trees, respectively), relative to the size of plantations (2 – 40 ha), and used a measure of similarity (Sorenson’s index) which is sensitive to small sample size (Plotkin and Muller-Landau, 2002).”
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): “…usually researchers are interested in habitats and regions so extensive that full species inventories are a practical impossiblity, so that obtaining accurate estimates of alpha and gamma diversity is a major concern (Colwell and Coddington 1994, Plotkin and Muller-Landau 2002, Chao et al. 2006).”
A new statistical approach for assessing similarity of species composition with incidence and abundance data (2004, methodology): “…beta diversity, or turnover rate, of species assemblages (Duivenvoorden 1995; Lennon et al. 2001; Arita & Rodrı́guez 2002, 2004; Condit et al. 2002; Plotkin & Muller-Landau 2002; Koleff et al. 2003; Rodrı́guez & Arita 2004), underscoring the need for robust statistical estimators for inferring…”
Testing the performance of beta diversity measures based on incidence data: the robustness to undersampling (2009, background): “As several authors have previously pointed out for different datasets and measures (Fisher, 1999; Plotkin & Muller-Landau, 2002; Chao et al., 2005) theoretical or empirical, beta diversity typically decreases with increasing sampling effort.”
