Independence of alpha and beta diversities.
Though Veech and Crist’s paper (Veech and Crist 2010) deals primarily with species richness, ecologists partitioning diversity generally use multiple diversity measures and compare the beta values among them (e.g., Gering et al. 2003, Summerville et al. 2003, 2006, Couteron and Pelissier 2004, Stendera and Johnson 2005, Ribiero et al. 2008). This paper therefore takes a more general perspective...
متن کاملDisentangling the drivers of taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversities in disturbed and undisturbed subtropical forests
Understanding the relative importance of dispersal limitation and environmental filtering processes in structuring the beta diversities of subtropical forests in human disturbed landscapes is still limited. Here we used taxonomic (TBD) and phylogenetic (PBD), including terminal PBD (PBDt) and basal PBD (PBDb), beta diversity indices to quantify the taxonomic and phylogenetic turnovers at differ...
متن کاملassessment of deep word knowledge in elementary and advanced iranian efl learners: a comparison of selective and productive wat tasks
testing plays a vital role in any language teaching program. it allows teachers and stakeholders, including program administrators, parents, admissions officers and prospective employers to be assured that the learners are progressing according to an accepted standard (douglas, 2010). the problems currently facing language testers have both practical and theoretical implications but the first i...
Integrating Taxonomic, Functional and Phylogenetic Beta Diversities: Interactive Effects with the Biome and Land Use across Taxa
The spatial distribution of species, functional traits and phylogenetic relationships at both the regional and local scales provide complementary approaches to study patterns of biodiversity and help to untangle the mechanisms driving community assembly. Few studies have simultaneously considered the taxonomic (TBD), functional (FBD) and phylogenetic (PBD) facets of beta diversity. Here we anal...
متن کاملContrasting species and functional beta diversity in montane ant assemblages
AIM Beta diversity describes the variation in species composition between sites and can be used to infer why different species occupy different parts of the globe. It can be viewed in a number of ways. First, it can be partitioned into two distinct patterns: turnover and nestedness. Second, it can be investigated from either a species identity or a functional-trait point of view. We aim to docu...
