Phylogenetic and Functional Beta Diversity
2013The first objective of this chapter is to introduce the conceptual and empirical background for why phylogenetic and functional analyses of beta diversity are of interest to ecologists. This is followed by detailed instructions on how to calculate in R the major metrics of phylogenetic and functional beta diversity that are most commonly employed in ...

Beta diversity for functional ecology
2008The utility of biodiversity measures that incorporate pairwise species functional differences is becoming increasingly recognized. Functional diversity is regarded as the key for linking community composition to ecosystem processes like productivity, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, or stability when subject to perturbations.

Seemingly diverse activities of beta-alethine.
Cancer research, 1994beta-Alethine (beta-alanyl-cysteamine disulfide) exhibits striking biological activities in diverse systems. At an optimum of about 10 ng/ml, beta-alethine (a) adapts murine liver cells to culture (53 colonies/10(6) cells versus none in controls), (b) delays aging of human IMR-90 fetal lung fibroblasts (102 population doubling levels versus 47 in ...

A geometric approach to beta diversity
Ecological MonographsAbstractBeta diversity—the variation among community compositions in a region—is a fundamental measure of biodiversity. Most classic measures have posited that beta diversity is maximized when each community has a distinct, nonoverlapping set of species.
