Appendix

Appendix A: Figures showing construction of a rank clock in which the rank order abundance for each species in a community sample is plotted at each time interval in temporal clockwise direction, rank clock display of a 20-yr data set with 25 species in which no species turnover (gains or losses) or changes in rank abundance occur over time, and a conceptual diagram illustrating two species dynamics in linear and rank clock format.
