Abstract:Beta diversity patterns are essential for understanding how biological
communities are structured. Geographical and environmental factors, as
well as species dispersal ability, are important drivers of beta
diversity, but their relative importance may vary across spatial scales.
In this study, we evaluate whether beta diversity changes across
geographical scales and analyse how different drivers affect turnover
patterns of native seed plants in an oceanic archipelago, the Azores
(Portugal). Using a 500 x 500 m… Show more
