...Although their work was ignored by ecologists for several decades (Ja ¨rvinen 1982), re-analyses of species-to-genus ratios now suggest that island communities harbour slightly more species per genus than expected by chance, in spite of the lower absolute number of species per genus expected in smaller samples ( Simberloff 1970 )....

...However, subtaxon‐taxon ratios are an increasing function of sample size, and would be expected to decrease in small communities, regardless of the level of competition (Williams 1947, 1964; Simberloff 1970, 1972 )....

...The species-to-genus ratio has long been used to describe community patterns and to infer levels of competitive interactions among species within genera (reviews in Simberloff 1970; Ja ¨rvinen 1982)....

...Interest continued in species/genus ratios for a number of years (Moreau 1948, Williams 1964, Simberloff 1970, Tokeshi 1991) and was notable as the context for the first use of null models in ecology (Gotelli & Graves 1996)....
