Comparison of various differentiation measures for three pairs of habitats in the real data analysis based on abundance and function (<i>A&F</i>), on function (<i>F</i>) only, and abundance (<i>A</i>) only.

<p> = 0.550 and = 0.535 for the pair (EM, MO); = 0.561, = 0.537 for the pair (EM, TR); = 0.574, = 0.559 for the pair (MO, TR).</p>#<p>Differentiation measures are the abundance-based local differentiation measure (1−<i>C_qN</i>) and regional differentiation measure (1−<i>U_qN</i>) obtained from partitioning Hill numbers <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0100014#pone.0100014-Chiu1" target="_blank">[36]</a>;</p><p>--- No measures for <i>q</i> = 1 and <i>q</i> = 2 because species abundances are not considered for measures based on function (<i>F</i>) only.
