Trinidade-Santos, I., Moyes, F., Magurran, A.E. 2022. Global patterns in functional rarity of marine fish. Nature Communications 10.1038/s41467-022-28488-1 (this paper identifies global hotspots of functional rarity in marine fish)

Gotelli, N.J., Moyes, F., Antão. L.H., Blowes, S.A., Dornelas, M., McGill, B.J., Penny, A., Schipper, A., Shimadzu, H.,. Supp, S.R., Waldock, C.A., Magurran, A.E. 2022. Long-term changes in biodiversity are driven by a small subset of species. Global Change Biology 28: 46-53 (this paper shows that a small number of species within assemblages are responsible for temporal turnover, and introduces a new method for identifying them)

Daskalova, G.N. Myers-Smith, I.H., Bjorkman, A,D.,Blowes, S.A., Magurran, A.E., Dornelas, M. 2020. Landscape-scale forest loss as a catalyst of population and biodiversity change. Science 368: 1341-1347. 10.1126/science.aba1289 (this paper has an innovative analysis showing the complex links between forest loss and biodiversity change. 67 citations, Google scholar)

Magurran, A.E. Deacon, A.E. Moyes, F., Shimadzu, H., Dornelas, M., Phillip, D.A T., Ramnarine, I.W. 2018. Divergent biodiversity change within ecosystems. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, US. 115: 1843-1847 (this paper reveals uncorrelated patterns of biodiversity change amongst assemblages in tropical freshwaters 61 citations)

Magurran, A.E., Dornelas, M, Moyes, F., Gotelli, N.J., McGill. 2015. Rapid biotic homogenization of marine fish communities. Nature Communications 10.1038/ncomms9405 (this paper documents rapid assemblage reorganisation in the NE Atlantic - 179 citations)

Dornelas M., Gotelli N.J., McGill B.J., Shimadzu H., Moyes F., Sievers C. & Magurran A.E. 2014. Assemblage time series reveal biodiversity change but not systematic loss. Science 344: 296-299 10.1126/science.1248484 (this key output from AEM’s ERC AdG reported no systematic change in assemblage size, but high levels of compositional change, for marine and terrestrial systems around the world – 1086 citations)

Magurran, A.E. & P.A. Henderson. 2003. Explaining the excess of rare species in natural species abundance distributions. Nature 422: 714-716 (this study revealed how the structure of species abundance distributions is shaped by the temporal occurrence of the species present (984 citations)
