Rarefaction of beta diversity [PDF]
Ecological Indicators, 2019 Beta diversity has long been used to summarize the amount of variation in species composition among a set of N sampling units. However, while classical beta diversity provides an estimate of multiple-site dissimilarity among all sampling units, it is not informative on the changes of multiple-site dissimilarity as a function of sampling effort.

Turnover Drives High Benthic Macroinvertebrates’ Beta Diversity in a Tropical Karstic Lake District
Diversity, 2022 Beta diversity is useful to explain community assembly across landscapes with spatial variation. Its turnover and nestedness components help explain how beta diversity is structured across environmental and spatial gradients.

Drivers of beta diversity in modern and ancient reef-associated soft-bottom environments [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Beta diversity, the compositional variation among communities, is often associated with environmental gradients. Other drivers of beta diversity include stochastic processes, priority effects, predation, or competitive exclusion.

Fine-scale bacterial beta diversity within a complex ecosystem (Zodletone Spring, OK, USA): the role of the rare biosphere. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundThe adaptation of pyrosequencing technologies for use in culture-independent diversity surveys allowed for deeper sampling of ecosystems of interest. One extremely well suited area of interest for pyrosequencing-based diversity surveys that has

N90, a Diversity Index Sensitive to Variations in Beta Diversity Components [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 Species diversity in a community is mainly related to the number and abundance of species that form it. N90 is a recently developed diversity index based on the results of the similarity percentage (SIMPER) analysis that represents the number of species contributing up to ninety percent of within-group similarity in a group of samples.

Undersampling and the measurement of beta diversity
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2013 Summary Beta diversity is a conceptual link between diversity at local and regional scales. Various additional methodologies of quantifying this and related phenomena have been applied. Among them, measures of pairwise (dis)similarity of sites are particularly popular. Undersampling, i.e.
