Summary

The present paper describea a method, based on the covariance, which can partition the total variation in a species collection into two independent components. One of the components is specific to individual species, while the other is common between species. The implications of the common component, as a measure of redundancy, are discussed with reference to different types of multivariate and univariate methods of data analysis.
