Measures of Niche Overlap, II

R. GERRARD * and A. D. BARBOUR

Universitt Zürich, Institut für Angewandte Mathematik Rämistrasse 74, CH-8001 Zürich

An axiomatic basis for the construction of measures of niche overlap is analysed, and its implications are discussed, with particular reference to the more commonly used measures. A method of establishing that a measure of overlap complies with the axioms is put forward, making possible the construction of families of new measures. Certain extremal measures of overlap are also identified.
