Unraveling Spatial Patterns and Drivers of Fish Ecological Uniqueness in Subtropical Streams.

ABSTRACT: β-diversity is effective for measuring the degree of compositional variation among communities and can be decomposed into local (LCBD) and species (SCBD) contributions to β-diversity. Previous studies on β-diversity have mostly been limited to the taxonomic level; relatively few studies have been conducted on functional diversity and its two components based on species functional traits, which have seriously hindered the potential application of β-diversity in conservation biology. In addition, increasing anthropogenic disturbance has led to uncertainties in the β-diversity of fish communities in stream ecosystems. In this study, we explored the relationships between multidimensional β-diversity of fish communities and regional landscape factors, local environmental factors, community metr
