Multi‐scale sampling boosts inferences from beta diversity patterns in coastal forests of South Africa

AIM: We used a hierarchical fractal‐based sampling design to test how sampling grain influences (1) beta diversity of and (2) inferences from the modelled contribution of niche‐ versus dispersal‐based assembly processes in structuring tree and bird assemblages. LOCATION: Coastal forest fragments, So...
