Partialling out the spatial component of ecological variation
- D. Borcard, P. Legendre, P. Drapeau
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 1992
A method is proposed to partition the variation of species abundance data into independent components: pure spatial, pure environmental, spatial component of environmental influence, and… Expand
Numerical Ecology with R
- D. Borcard, F. Gillet, P. Legendre
- Biology, Engineering
- 14 January 2011
Numerical Ecology with R provides a long-awaited bridge between a textbook in Numerical Ecology and the implementation of this discipline in the R language. After short theoretical overviews, the… Expand
All-scale spatial analysis of ecological data by means of principal coordinates of neighbour matrices
- D. Borcard, P. Legendre
- Mathematics
- 15 July 2002
Spatial heterogeneity of ecological structures originates either from the physical forcing of environmental variables or from community processes. In both cases, spatial structuring plays a… Expand
Forward selection of explanatory variables.
- F. Blanchet, P. Legendre, D. Borcard
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Ecology
- 1 September 2008
This paper proposes a new way of using forward selection of explanatory variables in regression or canonical redundancy analysis. The classical forward selection method presents two problems: a… Expand
Variation partitioning of species data matrices: estimation and comparison of fractions.
- P. Peres-Neto, P. Legendre, S. Dray, D. Borcard
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Ecology
- 1 October 2006
Establishing relationships between species distributions and environmental characteristics is a major goal in the search for forces driving species distributions. Canonical ordinations such as… Expand
DISSECTING THE SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF ECOLOGICAL DATA AT MULTIPLE SCALES
- D. Borcard, P. Legendre, C. Avois-Jacquet, H. Tuomisto
- Biology
- 1 July 2004
Spatial structures may not only result from ecological interactions, they may also play an essential functional role in organizing the interactions. Modeling spatial patterns at multiple spatial and… Expand
ANALYZING BETA DIVERSITY: PARTITIONING THE SPATIAL VARIATION OF COMMUNITY COMPOSITION DATA
- P. Legendre, D. Borcard, P. Peres-Neto
- Mathematics
- 1 February 2005
Robert H. Whittaker defined beta diversity as the variation in species com- position among sites in a geographic area. Beta diversity is a key concept for understanding the functioning of ecosystems,… Expand
Modelling directional spatial processes in ecological data
- F. Blanchet, P. Legendre, D. Borcard
- 24 July 2008
Distributions of species, animals or plants, terrestrial or aquatic, are influenced by numerous factors such as physical and biogeographical gradients. Dominant wind and current directions cause the… Expand
Explaining variation in tropical plant community composition: influence of environmental and spatial data quality
- M. M. Jones, H. Tuomisto, D. Borcard, P. Legendre, D. B. Clark, P. Olivas
- Biology, Medicine
- Oecologia
- 1 March 2008
The degree to which variation in plant community composition (beta-diversity) is predictable from environmental variation, relative to other spatial processes, is of considerable current interest. We… Expand
Environmental control and spatial structure in ecological communities: an example using oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatei)
- D. Borcard, P. Legendre
- Mathematics
- Environmental and Ecological Statistics
- 1 March 1994
We have recently proposed to use partial canonical ordinations to partition the variation of species abundance data into four additive components: environmental at a local scale, the spatial… Expand
