The robustness of quantitative measures of compositional dissimilarity between sites was evaluated using extensive computer simulations of species' abundance patterns over one and two dimensional configurations of sample sites in ecological space. Robustness was equated with the strength, over a ran

Let g be a smooth function on R n with values in [0, 1]. Using the isoperimetric property of the Gaussian measure, it is proved that ,(8 &1 (Eg))&E,(8 &1 ( g)) E |{g|. Conversely, this inequality implies the isoperimetric property of the Gaussian measure.
