A Likelihood Framework for Modeling Pairwise Beta Diversity Patterns Based on the Tradeoff Between Colonization and Extinction

Ecological communities are assembled by various mechanisms, including a tradeoff between colonization and extinction processes. However, it is still unclear how this tradeoff influences pairwise beta diversity patterns. Herein, we propose a novel likelihood framework to disentangle the compound impa...
