Ecologically meaningful transformations for ordination of species data

P Legendre, ED Gallagher - Oecologia, 2001 - Springer
This paper examines how to obtain species biplots in unconstrained or constrained ordination
without resorting to the Euclidean distance [used in principal-component analysis (PCA) …

Species assemblages and indicator species: the need for a flexible asymmetrical approach

M Dufrêne, P Legendre - Ecological monographs, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
This paper presents a new and simple method to find indicator species and species assemblages
characterizing groups of sites. The novelty of our approach lies in the way we combine …

All-scale spatial analysis of ecological data by means of principal coordinates of neighbour matrices

D Borcard, P Legendre - Ecological modelling, 2002 - Elsevier
Spatial heterogeneity of ecological structures originates either from the physical forcing of
environmental variables or from community processes. In both cases, spatial structuring plays …

Partialling out the spatial component of ecological variation

D Borcard, P Legendre, P Drapeau - Ecology, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
A method is proposed to partition the variation of species abundance data into independent
components: pure spatial, pure environmental, spatial component of environmental influence…

Testing the significance of canonical axes in redundancy analysis

P Legendre, J Oksanen… - Methods in Ecology and …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Tests of significance of the individual canonical axes in redundancy analysis allow researchers
to determine which of the axes represent variation that can be distinguished from random…

A distance‐based framework for measuring functional diversity from multiple traits

E Laliberté, P Legendre - Ecology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
A new framework for measuring functional diversity (FD) from multiple traits has recently been
proposed. This framework was mostly limited to quantitative traits without missing values …

Spatial pattern and ecological analysis

P Legendre, MJ Fortin - Vegetatio, 1989 - Springer
The spatial heterogeneity of populations and communities plays a central role in many
ecological theories, for instance the theories of succession, adaptation, maintenance of species …
