MBI (version 1.0)

rarity: Calculate rarity degrees (decided by the argument "percent") based on distributional ranges of species and abundance of species

Description

argument "percent" determines the rarity degree you want to calculate

Usage

rarity(data, percent = 0.3)

Arguments

data

rows of the data are sites, while columns of the data are species

percent

determines the rarity degree you want to calculate. default is .3, meaning that species have distributional sites less than 30

Value

return two percentage values, one denotes the range rarity percentage, another denotes the abundance rarity percentage

Details

This index is not beta diversity index, thus not being included in the batch.calculation() function
