Spatial Factors Play a Major Role as Determinants of Endemic Ground Beetle Beta Diversity of Madeira Island Laurisilva
Figure 1
Distance decay in ground beetle assemblages’ dissimilarity.
Distance dissimilarity plots representing the relationship between ground beetle assemblage dissimilarity and geographic distance. βtotal, βrepl and βrich were used as measures of overall beta diversity, beta diversity due to species replacement and beta diversity due to richness differences, respectively.
