Toward a unified diversity–area relationship (DAR) of species and gene diversity illustrated with the human gut metagenome

Abstract The biogeographic diversity of the microbiome can be investigated from two perspectives: the spatiotemporal distribution of species (or any operational taxonomic unit) diversity and the spatiotemporal distribution of metagenomic gene diversity. Together, these provide a complementary unders...
