Quantitative and qualitative beta diversity measures lead to different insights into factors that structure microbial communities.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Mar 2007

Lozupone Catherine A, Hamady Micah, Kelley Scott T, Knight Rob

Abstract excerpt

The assessment of microbial diversity and distribution is a major concern in environmental microbiology. There are two general approaches for measuring community diversity: quantitative measures, which use the abundance of each taxon, and qualitative measures, which use only the presence/absence of data. Quantitative measures are ideally suited to revealing community differences that are due to changes in...
