Abstract
Patterns of functional or phylogenetic diversity among communities can be described thanks to the Double Principal Coordinate Analysis (DPCoA). This approach depicts differences among communities in low-dimensional plots and explains those differences by their species compositions and the functional or phylogenetic differences among species.
