- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the congruence of species diversity between taxa in a tropical rain forest in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study compared the alpha diversity or number of species per sampling unit and beta diversity or species assemblages turnover per sampling unit of animals and plants. It shows that the congruence patterns in alpha diversity was not affected by sampling completeness while beta diversity's indicator value improve with the use similarity index.
