a Two sets of simulated absolute abundances: Y (bold italic ) and Z.
b Because species B1is equally distant to three others, there are three possible MSTs. For set Y, the MSTs with edges \(1-2\), \(1-3\), and \(1-4\) resulted in FEve estimates of 0.476, 0.480 and 0.374, respectively; for set Z, the values were 0.785, 0.785 and 0.676, respectively.
Table 2. Ten microsatellite genotypes of freshwater bryozoanCristatella mucedo (Cm): pairwise distances, abundances, MST attributes, and estimates of functional evenness FEve. Because no abundance data are available, we generated simulated values. The weights of the edges between each pair of nodes is equal to the distance between those genotypes.
