Coupling abundance and spatial distribution for an unbiased and tractable beta diversity framework

2026-04-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> While fundamental for understanding community assembly, dominant beta diversity metrics suffer from severe sample-size dependence and lack tractable generative predictions. Here, we generalize Whittaker’s multiplicative index into a novel abundance-weighted framework. By proving this index strictly equals the expectation of the Good-Turing sample coverage deficit, we unify species abundance and...
