From: Navigating biodiversity patterns in fragmented seagrass mosaics
Predicted differences in the taxonomic alpha diversity of large epifauna (> 0.5 mm), small epifauna (< 0.5 mm) and infauna among zones in the seagrass patch as a function of fragmentation level, for each ‘q’ parameter: (a, d, g) ‘q’ = 0 (i.e., species composition only, analogous to species richness), (b, e, h) ‘q’ = 1 (i.e. weighted in proportion to species abundances, analogous to Shannon entropy), and (c, f, i) ‘q’ = 2 (i.e. more weight on very abundant species, analogous to inverse Simpson index). Dots are model-averaged predictions from GLMMs, and whiskers are standard errors around the predicted mean, (Mean ± SE).
