Calculate the rate at which community similarity declines with distance
Nekola and White 1999; Soininen et al. 2007;
site by species matrix -> resemblance (distance) matrix
Nathan can do if we decide to do this
Jono suggests:
Could add multiple regression on distance matrices (MRM) (Lichstein, 2007) using the ‘MRM’ function in ‘ecodist’ (Goslee & Urban,
2007). I used this in a recent paper in JBI. Pretty much just distance decay type approach.
I guess mantel tests come under this heading too, despite some methodological concerns...?
