Calculation of multiple phylogenetic diversity metrics for plant communities using established phylogenetic trees and null model approaches to test for phylogenetic clustering or overdispersion.

Nested sampling design to construct species-area relationships across multiple spatial scales by subdividing plots into equal-area quadrats and averaging species counts across equivalent areas.

Plant species composition within 15cm of Castilleja individuals is compared to random background vegetation to statistically identify overrepresented taxa as potential hosts. This provides an indirect...
