A binary presence-absence matrix in which rows are species and columns are sites. |
In Diamond's (1975) assembly rules model, pairs of species that never co-occur in any site are interpreted as examples of interspecific competition. A set of communities structured this way should contain more checkerboard pairs than expected by chance.
Returns the number of unique species pairs that never co-occur.
