Methods for Measuring Functional Diversity Based on Trait
Probability Density
Description
Tools to calculate trait probability density functions (TPD) at
any scale (e.g. populations, species, communities). TPD functions are used to compute
several indices of functional diversity, as well as its partition across scales.
These indices constitute a unified framework that incorporates the underlying
probabilistic nature of trait distributions into uni- or multidimensional
functional trait-based studies. See Carmona et al. (2016) for
further information.
