     For the phylobetadiversity analysis, the phylogenetic community dissimilarity (PCD) metrics were calculated, which derivate from two components: compositional (PCDc), which is analog to Sorensen’s but correcting the effect that causes the community’s size, and phylogenetic (PCDp), which measures the phylogenetic relation of species that are not shared between communities.
