Community Ecology Conceptual Issues –Community integrity (Clements v Gleason) Individualistic responses versus super-organism –Community change St ate-transition models Gap models Assembly rules –Description, scenario development, prediction –Is there such a thing as a community?

Community Ecology Practical Issues –Phytosociology, the releve, and classification –Gradient analysis and continuous variation –Direct vs indirect gradient analysis –The math of ordination Linear vs curvilinear responses –Cluster analysis –PCA, DCA, Discriminant Function Analysis

Simple Linear Regression All of the error is assumed to be in the response variable (Y), which is also the DEPENDENT variable……. Predicting Y from X

Type II regression

Principal Components Analysis First Principal Component This is mathematically a type II regression

Phytosociology, the releve, and classification We perceive the world as a patchy place. Sample each type of patch.

Phytosociology, the releve, and classification These samples are releve’s. In each one you record cover values In each patch you record all species observed

TWINSPAN: Two Way Indicator Species Analysis: Groups plots and species by similarity of where they occur. Facilitates classification into discrete community types

Gradient analysis An obvious gradient is a mountainside, but vegetation may be responding to less obvious gradients (eg, soil nutrition). A DIRECT gradient analysis is where you know the underlying gradient. An INDIRECT gradient analysis is used when you recognize that you might not. Indirect gradient analysis is typically used because even though you see one gradient (eg, elevation) it may be underlain by some other gradients.

Gradient analysis is well suited for detecting continuous variation Vegetation of Lassen and Yosemite Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Society.

Gradient analysis is also well suited for comparing sites Vegetation of Lassen and Yosemite Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Society.

Cluster analysis

Cluster analysis: many varieties Nearest neighbor Group centroids Furthest neighbor

No “RIGHT” answer Nearest neighbor Group centroids Furthest neighbor

PCA, DCA, DFA,CCA Principal Components Analysis Detrended Correspondence Analysis Discriminant Function Analysis Canonical Correspondence Analysis A B C D E F G H

PCA, DCA, DFA,CCA Principal Components Analysis: “The horseshoe effect” A and H are similar by virtue of lacking the species in C – G, and get placed close in the ordination A B C D E F G H A H D

PCA, DCA, DFA,CCA Detrended Correspondence Analysis: Removes the “The horseshoe effect” A H D A H Used by PLANT ECOLOGISTS who assume a curvilinear response to the environment

PCA, DCA, DFA,CCA Discriminant Function Analysis: Isn’t concerned with explaining variance, but correctly distinguishing known groups. A measure of accuracy can be derived. The model can then be used to classify unknown cases

CCA

Multiple regression Y = Constant + a 1 X 1 + a 2 X 2 + a 3 X 3

Multiple regression

Canonical Correlation b 1 Y 1 + b 2 Y 2 +b 3 Y 3 = Constant + a 1 X 1 + a 2 X 2 + a 3 X 3 Gets pretty tough to visualize, But it is the same principle
