RP15EI

The data set was used in Ricotta and Pavoine (2015) to show how the coefficients of multi-site dissimilarity that they developed can be applied to data.

datasets

Functions, data sets and examples for the calculation of various indices of biodiversity including species, functional and phylogenetic diversity. Part of the indices are expressed in terms of equivalent numbers of species. The package also provides ways to partition biodiversity across spatial or temporal scales (alpha, beta, gamma diversities). In addition to the quantification of biodiversity, ordination approaches are available which rely on diversity indices and allow the detailed identification of species, functional or phylogenetic differences between communities.

RP15EI function

The format is a list of 4 data frames. Each data frame gives the presence (1) and absence (0) of 10 species (columns, S1-S10) in 8 plots (rows P1-P8). These data are characterized by different levels of nestedness and turnover in species compositions between sites.
<code>M1</code>: Intermediate nestedness and turnover.
<code>M2</code>: Perfectly nested pattern.
<code>M3</code>: Very high species turnover.
<code>M4</code>: Random configuration.
