Forcino, F. L., Leighton, L. R., Twerdy, P., Cahill, J. F.
Community ecologists commonly perform multivariate techniques (e.g., ordination, cluster analysis) to assess patterns and gradients of taxonomic variation. A critical requirement for a meaningful statistical analysis is accurate information on the taxa found within an ecological sample. However,...
