Phylogenetic beta diversity metrics, trait evolution and inferring the functional beta diversity of communities.
The beta diversity of communities along gradients has fascinated ecologists for decades. Traditionally such studies have focused on the species composition of communities, but researchers are becoming increasingly interested in analyzing the phylogenetic composition in the hope of achieving mechanis...
