In my analyses I often have to decide whether to keep or drop rare taxa, and how to define rare. What publications would you consider an authority on this issue that discusses pros/cons of removing/keeping rare taxa and (same or different pub) how to define rare. I have done a web of science search on this, but I would like your opinion, as an experienced community ecologist in the field, as to what you consider excellent publications on this topic.
You can respond to the list, or email me directly: [email protected]
