Global abundance patterns, diversity, and ecology of Patescibacteria in wastewater treatment plants [PDF]
Microbiome, 2023 Background Microorganisms are responsible for nutrient removal and resource recovery in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and their diversity is often studied by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.

The unmarked R package: Twelve years of advances in occurrence and abundance modelling in ecology [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely applied to understand the processes governing spatial and temporal variation in species abundance and distribution but often do not account for measurement errors such as false negatives and false positives ...

Automating the analysis of fish abundance using object detection: optimising animal ecology with deep learning [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2019 Aquatic ecologists routinely count animals to provide critical information for conservation and management. Increased accessibility to underwater recording equipment such as cameras and unmanned underwater devices have allowed footage to be captured ...

Abundance-weighted phylogenetic diversity measures distinguish microbial community states and are robust to sampling depth [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 In microbial ecology studies, the most commonly used ways of investigating alpha (within-sample) diversity are either to apply non-phylogenetic measures such as Simpson’s index to Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) groupings, or to use classical ...

Ecology and abundance of zooplankton in Karanja reservoir [PDF]
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2008 The present work aims to study the Zooplankton seasonal distribution and diversity in Karanja reservoir, Bidar district for the period of two years from October 2001 to September 2003. We have recorded 36 species of which, 15 species belongs to rotifera, 11 species belongs to cladocera, nine species belongs to copepoda and ostracoda three species ...

SUMMER ABUNDANCE AND ECOLOGY OF ZOOPLANKTON IN THE GULF STREAM
The Biological Bulletin, 1975 We have described the results of laboratory analyses of 42 horizontal tows using a Clarke-Bumpus plankton sampler with a 100 µ emmesh net in the Gulf Stream. Classifications of 20 zooplankton taxa have been made for the 42 hauls. Calanoids dominate the hauls. It was found that the zooplankton population distribution and density varied considerably from

Network properties, species abundance and evolution in a model of evolutionary ecology [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2004 We study the evolution of the network properties of a populated network embedded in a genotype space characterised by either a low or a high number of potential links, with particular emphasis on the connectivity and clustering. Evolution produces two distinct types of network.

REVIEW: On the species abundance distribution in applied ecology and biodiversity management [PDF]
, 2014 Summary 1. The species abundance distribution (SAD) is an important concept in ecology, and much work has focused on the SAD in a theoretical context.

Species Lists in Ecology and Conservation: Abundances Matter [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2002 In a paper in the October 2001 issue of Conservation Biology , Gomez de Silva and Medellin (2001) studied the problem of incomplete species lists in conservation and macroecology. They based their study on the observation that “studies of species diversity, macroecology, and conservation are usually based on lists of species, but lists found in the ...
