Habitat heterogeneity drives the geographical distribution of beta diversity: the case of New Zealand stream invertebrates
2014
Ecology and Evolution
This is one of the first studies accounting for stochastic effects while examining the ecological drivers of beta diversity. ...
We explored through a null model if beta diversity deviates from the expectation of stochastic assembly processes and whether the magnitude of the deviation varies geographically. ...

Mathematics
The results have significant implications for the implementation of smart beta strategies that rely heavily on the accuracy and stability of factor betas and yields. ...
We allow a separate threshold for each parameter; thus, the parameters may shift in an unsynchronized manner such that the model moves from one state to another when the change in the parameter exceeds ...
