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.
