Using rarefaction to isolate the effects of patch size and sampling effort on beta diversity
Abstract Beta diversity describes how species composition varies across space and through time. Current estimators of beta diversity typically ignore the effects of within‐patch sample size, determined jointly by local abundance and sampling effort. Many ecological processes such as immigration, pre...
