About this document

Epiphyte Diversity Lab at UBC by Emma Armitage is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document provides instructions for a biology lab examining epiphyte diversity on tree trunks. Students are asked to measure alpha, beta, and gamma diversity of epiphytes on different tree species. Alpha diversity will be calculated for each individual tree, while gamma diversity will describe diversity across all trees of one species. Beta diversity will be calculated as the difference between alpha and gamma. Students will then analyze how epiphyte diversity varies with tree species (deciduous vs. con
