Reconsidering the Price equation: Benchmarking the analytical power of additive partitioning in ecology

Ecological Modelling, 2024, vol. 491, issue C

Abstract: The Price approach allows the partitioning of composite variables into a set of additive components and has become an important tool in evolutionary and ecological research. However, because such components are not mutually independent and might be constrained by the inherent data structure, comparing and interpreting Price partitions among different datasets is not straightforward and has contributed to controversy in ecology.
