Core calculations of betapart

Description

Computes the basic quantities needed for computing the multiple-site beta diversity measures and pairwise dissimilarity matrices.

Usage

betapart.core(x)

Arguments

x

data frame, where rows are sites and columns are species

Value

The function returns an object of class betapart with the following elements:

sumSi

the sum of the species richness values of all sites

St

the total richness in the dataset

a

the multiple-site analog of the shared species term

shared

a matrix containing the number of species shared between pairs of sites

not.shared

a matrix containing the number of species not shared between pairs of sites: b, c

sum.not.shared

a matrix containing the total number of species not shared between pairs of sites: b+c

max.not.shared

a matrix containing the total maximum number of species not shared between pairs of sites: max(b,c)

min.not.shared

a matrix containing the total minimum number of species not shared between pairs of sites: min(b,c)
