This review focuses on the analysis of temporal beta diversity, which is the variation in
community composition along time in a study area. Temporal beta diversity is measured by …

Managing multiple ecosystem services (ES), including addressing trade-offs between
services and preventing ecological surprises, is among the most pressing areas for …

The book describes and discusses the numerical methods which are successfully being
used for analysing ecological data, using a clear and comprehensive approach. These …

Aim This paper presents the statistical bases for temporal beta‐diversity analysis, a method
to study changes in community composition through time from repeated surveys at several …

Recently, community ecologists are focusing on the relative importance of local
environmental factors and proxies to dispersal limitation to explain spatial variation in …

Abstract Mesophotic coral reefs (30–150 m) have been assumed to be physically and
biologically connected to their shallow-water counterparts, and thus may serve as refugia for …

Ecologists have long been interested in how communities change over time. Addressing
questions about community dynamics requires ways of representing and comparing the …

Metacommunity structure can be shaped by a variety of processes operating at different
spatial scales. With increasing scale, the compositional variation among local communities …

The extent to which random processes such as founder events contribute to evolutionary
divergence is a long-standing controversy in evolutionary biology. To determine the …

Among the statistical methods available to control for phylogenetic autocorrelation in
ecological data, those based on eigenfunction analysis of the phylogenetic distance matrix …
