Severe limitations of the FEve metric of functional evenness and some alternative metrics
Abstract The metric of functional evenness FEve is an example of how approaches to conceptualizing and measuring functional variability may go astray. This index has several critical conceptual and practical drawbacks: Different values of the FEve index for the same community can be obtained if the...
