betapart.core.abund: Core calculations of betapart for abundance-based...

In betapart: Partitioning Beta Diversity into Turnover and Nestedness Components

Description

Computes the basic quantities needed for computing the abundance-based multiple-site dissimilarity measuresc and pairwise dissimilarity matrices.

Usage

betapart.core.abund(x)

Arguments

x	data frame, where rows are sites and columns are species

Value

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

multiple.shared.abund	the multiple-site interesection component in terms of abundances (AM)
pair.shared.abund	a matrix containing the agreement in abundance between pairs of sites (A)
min.not.shared.abund	a matrix containing the minimum disagreement in abundance between pairs of sites: min(B,C)
max.not.shared.abund	a matrix containing the maximum disagreement in abundance between pairs of sites between pairs of sites: max(B,C)
pair.not.shared.abund	a matrix containing the total disagreement in abundance between pairs of sites: B+C
