In ecology, zeta diversity (ζ-diversity), first described in 2014,[1] measures the degree of overlap in the type of taxa present between a set of observed communities. It was developed to provide a more generalized framework for describing various measures of diversity, and can also be used to test various hypotheses pertaining to biogeography.
