What is the difference between alpha, beta, and gamma diversity?
Are there any challenges in using these concepts in conservation efforts?
One challenge is the different scales at which these measures operate. For example, alpha diversity is typically measured at a smaller scale than beta and gamma diversity. Additionally, deciding which regions to compare for beta diversity can be subjective, which can lead to differing conclusions. However, these challenges can be addressed through careful planning and consideration of the appropriate scales and regions to compare.
