Use of alpha, beta, and gamma diversity measures to characterize seed dispersal by animals.

The American naturalist - 1 Dec 2012

Scofield Douglas G, Smouse Peter E, Karubian Jordan, Sork Victoria L

Abstract excerpt

Seed dispersal shapes ecological and evolutionary dynamics of plant populations. Here, we extend classical diversity measures to study the impact of disperser behavior on seed dispersal. We begin by extending our previous diversity structure approach, which partitioned seed source diversity withi...
