Explorers and Exploiters: Deviations from Rarefaction Curves.
Uses deviations from rarefaction curves to detect whether folktale collectors sought out new material (explorers) or revisited known types (exploiters).
Coverage-based Comparisons of Cultural Diversity.
Introduces coverage-based methods for fairly comparing cultural diversity across folktale collections of unequal sampling depth.
What Shall We Do with the Unseen Sailor?.
Applies unseen species models to VOC historical records to estimate the true number of sailors missing from the archive.
Undetected Functional Attribute Diversity.
Introduces functional attribute diversity — which accounts for similarity between items — and estimates how much goes undetected in incomplete cultural samples.
Estimating Richness under Sampling without Replacement.
Examines how standard unseen species estimators break down under sampling without replacement, and how to correct for it.
