Is phylogenetic diversity any better than richness or Shannon diversity? (CC210)

Love your channel and your work! Truly an inspiration

[@Riffomonas]

Thanks!

Very interesting, Pat. I loved the use of replicate() on the function. Sometimes I forget the power of base r.

[@Riffomonas]

Thanks! Sometimes base R is still the first thing I think of. I suppose I could have done a map but it’s good to see different ways of doing the same thing 🤷‍♂️

Thank you professor.

[@Riffomonas]

My pleasure! 🤓

I really love your videos, but i still don't understand 'filter 1800', how to obtain this value, what about if I work with treated water samples and I have less sequences?

[@Dizzbanger91]

Rarefaction for species richness is helpful when using PD, because it will naturally be influenced by richness...

[@kurtreinhart3006]

This seems like a common problem. Are there R tools to correct for this (e.g. re-sampling technique).

[@dmalarekable]

Very interesting approach! Is it possible to also use Kendall correlation (as it is also non-parametric test) to find out the correlation between the metrics?

[@Riffomonas]

Thanks for watching! Yep. You could use kendall as the value for the method argument rather than spearman

Awesome!
