1.Quantify the species beta diversity in your example dataset using the presence–absence-weighted Jaccard’s Index and the abundance-weighted Bray–Curtis Index. Use the vegdist() function in the vegan package for both metrics.

2.Correlate both measures of species beta diversity with the phylogenetic and functional beta diversity metrics presented in this chapter. Are the phylogenetic and functional metrics correlated with the species beta diversity metrics? Is this important?
