  1. Notes: Diversity measure types: α denotes the diversity within a study site, higher values mean higher diversity; β denotes differences in diversity between samples from a study site and the overall, a value of 1 means that the study site has all the species found in all study sites; γ denotes the total diversity over the set of all samples; βp represents the proportional difference between overall diversity and the diversity in specific study site
