خلاصه	Functional diversity quantifies the range and abundance distribution of functional traits (morphology, physiology, behavior) among species in a community. Developed by Mouillot and colleagues (2008), functional diversity indices measure how different species are in their ecological roles and resource use strategies. Unlike species richness (number of species), functional diversity captures the breadth of ecological strategies, predicting ecosystem function and stability.	Beta diversity partitioning quantifies how species composition differs among sites, decomposing community dissimilarity into two components: species turnover (replacement of species across sites) and nestedness (loss of species from species-rich sites). Developed by Baselga (2010), this framework reveals whether sites differ because they have different species (turnover) or because some sites are subsets of others (nestedness). This distinction has ecological and conservation implications: turnover suggests environmental heterogeneity or speciation, while nestedness suggests habitat loss or extinction.
