A conditional probability index to quantify the amplitude and the direction of spatiotemporal changes in communities
Abstract Monitoring and mapping species diversity using indicators can allow the detection of changes in communities. Conclusions regarding these changes greatly depend on the choice of indicator. Here, we propose a new metric, the distance biochange index (DBCI), that enables the characterization a...
