Primes

• Turnover
  • Ecology: Species composition of a community shifts over time (species turnover, the temporal analogue of beta diversity) while the community's trophic structure and ecosystem function can endure; Whittaker's (1960) formalization of beta diversity gave the field a way to quantify how much the constituent species change across space and time.

    This sourceOrigin of the beta-diversity concept (diversity partitioning), giving ecology a quantitative measure of how much a community's constituent species change across space and time — the ecological formalization of species turnover.

Domain-specific

• Gamma diversity
  • Gamma is not tied to one natural geographic size: plot, landscape, region, archipelago, or another sampling hierarchy can serve if its level and sampling frame are explicit.
