Figure 2. Sketch of the variation partitioning for the variation of taxonomical dissimilarity matrices group into 8 fractions.

Figure 2

UV is the unexplained variance. PE, PG and PT are pure variation explained by environmental distances (E), geographic distance (G) and another taxonomical dissimilarity matrix (T), respectively, while CTE, CTG, CEG and CTGE, are fractions indicating their combined effects. The grey circle represents the quantitative congruence between two taxa (Inline graphic).
