Mathematically and biologically consistent framework for presence-absence pairwise indices – Repository Information

The upload includes the following components: (i) a table of basic definition of presence-absence indices commonly used in ecology, including equations to convert pairs of mutually i-depenent indices to each other; (ii) 20 theses discussing their mutual relationships and meanings; (iii) a calculator to convert any two informationally independent indices into Jaccard similarity and Simpson beta; and (iv) the data utilized in Šizling et al.'s 202x study.
