measurement
spatial autocorrelation
The degree to which values at nearby locations are correlated, used to assess spatial clustering in disease patterns
measurement
individual-based rarefaction
Statistical method to compare species richness across samples by generating accumulation curves based on individual encounters
measurement

Mathematical moments describing trait distributions including mean, variance, skew and kurtosis that characterize central tendency, spread, asymmetry and tail behavior
measurement
pollinator exclusion
Method of covering flowers with mesh bags to prevent pollinator access and allow nectar accumulation for sampling
