Abstract
Using total species richness to characterize biodiversity may mask multiple response patterns of species. We propose a null model analysis of species cooccurrence-based classification to identify sets of species that may have similar (within-groups) and distinct (between groups) response patterns to their environment. The classification should also provide an explicit framework for selecting indicator species with characteristic co-occurrence patterns to predict overall species richness.
