What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers analyze and interpret ecological community data by performing multivariate ordination, diversity metrics, beta diversity partitioning, clustering, and hypothesis testing, enabling reproducible interpretation of community structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ordination (NMDS, PCA/PCoA) to visualize relationships among sites based on species composition.
  • Alpha and beta diversity calculations to quantify within-site richness and between-site turnover.
  • Beta diversity partitioning (turnover and nestedness) and cluster analyses to identify community patterns.
  • Hypothesis testing with PERMANOVA and related dispersion tests to compare groups (e.g., treatments, habitats).
  • Species-contribution methods (SIMPER, IndVal) to identify key species driving differences.
  • Reproducible workflow with data validation, visualizations, and exportable results.

Quick Start

Load the community-ecology-ordination skill and run a Bray-Curtis NMDS ordination followed by alpha and beta diversity analyses on your species-by-site matrix.
