Comparisons between pairwise similarities between all plot pair combinations using a higher-taxon-level indicator (here genus level) and the AMS dataset (Guyana/Suriname topright, Ecuador bottom left, and French Guiana bottom right). Although patterns still remain the same, similarities are continuously higher than expected based on AMS when using only higher taxa as an indicator. Results show that using only IMS in comparison with AMS gives a better fit.
