PARTITIONING DIVERSITY INTO INDEPENDENT ALPHA AND BETA COMPONENTS
Ecology, 2007Existing general definitions of beta diversity often produce a beta with a hidden dependence on alpha. Such a beta cannot be used to compare regions that differ in alpha diversity. To avoid misinterpretation, existing definitions of alpha and beta must be replaced by a definition that partitions diversity into independent alpha and beta components ...

The variation of tree beta diversity across a global network of forest plots
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2012 Aims: With the aim of understanding why some of the world's forests exhibit higher tree beta diversity values than others, we asked: (1) what is the contribution of environmentally related variation versus pure spatial and local stochastic variation to ...

Beta-Diversity in Tropical Forests
Science, 2002In their Perspective, Duivenvoorden and colleagues discuss an analysis of the similarity in species composition between different regions of Amazonian and Panamanian tropical forests ( Condit et al.).

Abstract A simple analytical procedure to test for differences in beta diversity among sets of plots has been recently presented. Here, we describe an improved randomization procedure that replaces the one previously proposed. This procedure consists of shuffling within‐group dissimilarities among groups and disregarding between‐group

Quantifying evenness and linking it to diversity, beta diversity, and similarity
Ecology, 2019AbstractAn enormous number of measures based on different criteria have been proposed to quantify evenness or unevenness among species relative abundances in an assemblage. However, a unified approach that can encompass most of the widely used indices is still lacking. Here, we first present some basic requirements for an evenness measure.
