rdiversity (version 2.2.0)

sub_gamma: Subcommunity gamma diversity

Description

Calculates similarity-sensitive subcommunity gamma diversity (the contribution per individual toward metacommunity diversity). This measure may be calculated for a series of orders, represented as a vector of qs.

Usage

sub_gamma(meta, qs)

Arguments

meta

object of class metacommunity

qs

vector of mode numeric containing q values

Value

sub_gamma returns a standard output of class rdiv

Examples

# NOT RUN {
pop <- data.frame(a = c(1,3), b = c(1,1))
row.names(pop) <- paste0("sp", 1:2)
pop <- pop/sum(pop)
meta <- metacommunity(pop)

# Calculate subcommunity gamma diversity
sub_gamma(meta, 0:2)

# }
