Phenotypic dissimilarity index: Correcting for intra- and interindividual variability when quantifying phenotypic variation.

Abstract excerpt

In trait-based ecology, phenotypic variation (PVar) is often quantified with measures expressing average differences between populations standardized in the range 0-1. However, these measures disregard the within-population trait variability. In addition, some of them cannot be partitioned between populations. These aspects can either alter their interpretation or limit their applicability. To overcome these...
