Abstract

In this paper we introduce a program for testing for habitat filtering in local communities compared to a regional species pool. Based on phylogenetic or functional species data, the program first calculates the mean species dissimilarity in the local community. Next, it compares this value with a null distribution of expected values obtained drawing species randomly and without replacement from the regional species pool.
