β-Diversity partitioning of moth communities within and between different forest types

The partitioning of β-diversity is a recurrent practice in biogeographic and ecological studies that can provide key insights for land management, such as identification of biodiversity hot-spots. In this study, we used Baselga's metrics to measure the contribution of spatial turnover (βsim) and nestedness-resultant dissimilarity (βnes) to overall β-diversity (βsor) within- and between-forest types. We analyzed a presence/absence dataset...
