Dung Beetles along a Tropical Altitudinal Gradient: Environmental Filtering on Taxonomic and Functional Diversity - Fig 4

<p>a) Contribution of α1, β1 and β2 to γ taxonomic and functional diversities. α1 is transects diversity, β1 is diversity among transects and β2 is diversity among altitudes. α2 (diversity of the altitude) is obtained by adding α1 to β1; b) Contribution of turnover and nestedness to β2 taxonomic and functional diversity; values obtained with the complimentary analysis of multiple-site similarity.</p
