Comprehensive research on the community structure and spatial species diversity of demersal fish assemblages can provide not only species records but also qualitative classifications of species into ecological (functional) or zoogeographical groups for conservation and management purposes

Correspondence analysis (CA) is attractive to community ecologists because, in contrast to methods based on principal components analysis, it allows for unimodal responses to underlying gradients, thereby providing a clear representation of ‘long’ gradients (as well as ‘short’ gradients). Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) corrects for two artefacts in CA: the ‘arch effect’ and compression of the two extremes of the first axis
This study demonstrates the advantages of adopting quantitatively derived clusters of spatially associated species and elucidates the potential of resultant clusters as a spatially explicit framework for investigating distribution-related questions in ecology, biogeography, and conservation.
Results of plant community division are similar to previous studies in the Inner Mongolia grassland [17,35].
i cld also say this asw regardless of the methods i use
The eigenvalues of the four sorting axes were 0.8053, 0.5071, 0.2824, and 0.2235, respectively, in the order of their numerical values.
Measuring the taxonomic distance is relatively straightforward, compared with the use of more complex plant traits or phylogeny.
Based on the incidence data, this analysis was carried out by using the iNEXT package of R software
1) i can cite inext similar 2) and more importantly, uses Jaccard and Bray-Curtis
conducted using small-scale experiments spatially
why my research is gd
For species richness, the size in the R/E curve can be extrapolated to at most double or triple the minimum observed sample size
