Functional and phylogenetic β diversities and their link with clustering/overdispersion and uniqueness/redundancy
Sandrine Pavoine,
Carlo Ricotta
Abstract:In the recent decades, research on biodiversity in community ecology has been marked by the consideration of species' evolutionary histories and biological traits, including those said functional as they relate to the functions a species has in ecosystems. Among the different spatial levels at which FP diversity can be quantified, less attention has been given to the definition of the general concept of between-communities (β) FP diversity than to those of local, within-communities (α) and regional, merged-com… Show more
