Book ChapterDOI
Compositional dissimilarity as a robust measure of ecological distance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the robustness of quantitative measures of compositional dissimilarity between sites using extensive computer simulations of species' abundance patterns over one and two dimensional configurations of sample sites in ecological space.
Book ChapterDOI
An evaluation of the relative robustness of techniques for ecological ordination
TL;DR: In this article, simulated vegetation data were used to assess the relative robustness of ordination techniques to variations in the model of community variation in relation to environment, and the results clearly demonstrated the ineffectiveness of linear techniques (PCA, PCoA), due to curvilinear distortion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuum theory revisited: what shape are species responses along ecological gradients?
Jari Oksanen,Peter R. Minchin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Huisman-Olff-Fresco (HOF) models were used to evaluate the shape of vascular plant responses along an elevation gradient. But, the results showed that the skewed and plateau responses are less common than symmetric responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Instability of ordination results under changes in input data order: explanations and remedies
Jari Oksanen,Peter R. Minchin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a debugged, strict version of CANOCO has been released to check the stability of correspondence analysis (CA) and its Detrended form (DCA).
