A diversity of beta diversities: straightening up a concept gone awry. Part 2. Quantifying beta diversity and related phenomena
H Tuomisto - Ecography, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The present two‐part review aims to put the different phenomena that have been called
“beta diversity” over the years into a common conceptual framework and to explain what
each of them measures. The first part (Tuomisto 2010) discussed basic definitions of “beta
diversity”. Each arises from a different way of combining a definition of “diversity” with a
definition of its alpha component and with a mathematical relationship between the alpha
and gamma components. This second part assumes that an appropriate basic definition of a …
