Navigating the multiple meanings of β diversity: a roadmap for the practicing ecologist. (2011, background): “…b diversity to describe measures that incorporate additional information, such as the relative abundances of species (Legendre et al. 2005), or the taxonomic, phylogenetic or functional relationships among species (Izsak & Price 2001; Clarke et al. 2006; Graham & Fine 2008; Swenson et al. 2010).”
Beta diversity and taxonomic sufficiency: Do higher‐level taxa reflect heterogeneity in species composition? (2009, background): “The calculation of β -diversity for a given geographical area provides a single value, which alone cannot be formally compared between two or more areas (e.g. Izsak & Price, 2001).”
