  1. BD, SCBD and LCBD refer to beta diversity, species-contribution to the beta diversity and local-contribution to the beta diversity. ‘NA’ indicates areas where the taxon was absent. The correlation between species richness and LCBD was assessed using the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Asterisks(*) and bold characters indicate significant(P<0.05) positive correlations
