Kraftet al . (Report, 23 September 2011, p. 1755) argued that the latitudinal trend in β diversity is spurious and just reflects a trend in γ diversity. Their results depend on the idiosyncrasies of their data, especially the latitudinally varying degree of undersampling and a local sampling setup that is not suitable for analyzing drivers of β diversity.
