According to recent research published in the journal Diversity and Distributions, "Using total species richness to characterize biodiversity may mask multiple response patterns of species. We propose a null model analysis of species co-occurrence-based classification to identify sets of species that may have similar (within-groups) and distinct (between groups) response patterns to their environment."
"The classification should also provide an explicit framework for selecting indicator species with characteristic co-occurrence patterns to predict overall species richness. Location Cote-Nord, Quebec, Canada. We combined null-model of species co-occurrence and ...
