Reposted by OikosJohn Alroy @johnalroy.bsky.social · 13/10/2026There are better ways to quantify biodiversity than coverage-based rarefaction – in particular, by fitting the geometric Weibull distribution and extrapolating. GW outperforms CBR according to four different empirical tests. New paper in Oikos. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.comCoverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richnessCoverage-based rarefaction (CBR) is a high-profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good-Turing index u to interpolate.
