part.p.tree: Partition of pair-wise dissimilarity indices using...

In CommEcol: Community Ecology Analyses

Partition of pair-wise dissimilarity indices using phylogenetic/functional data

Description

This function computes the partition of pair-wise Sorensen and Jaccard dissimilarity indices described by Baselga (2011, 2012), but adapted for phylogenetic/functional data. The two resulting components are dissimilarities due to turnover and nestednes

Usage

part.p.tree(comm, tree, index.family = "sorensen")

Arguments

comm	Dataframe or matrix with samples in rows and species in columns.
tree	A phylogenetic/functional tree containing all species listed in comm.
index.family	The family of dissimilarity indices to be partitionated. Partial match to "sorensen" or "jaccard".

Value

A list including three dissimilarity matrices. The nomenclature of the matrices follows Baselga (2012). For the jaccard:

jac	Jaccard dissimilarity matrix.
jtu	The turnover component of the Jaccard index.
jne	The nestedness (or richness difference) component of the Jaccard index.

For the sorensen:

sor	Sorensen dissimilarity matrix.
sim	The turnover component of the Sorensen index (Simpson index).
sne	The nestedness (or richness difference) component of the Sorensen index.
