Towards precision ecology: Relationships of multiple sampling methods quantifying abundance for comparisons among studies.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Because different sampling techniques will provide different abundance values, it is currently difficult to compare results among many studies to form holistic understandings of how abundance influences ant ecology.

Trap efficiency evaluation for small mammals in the southern Amazon [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica, 2015
The effectiveness of ecological researches on small mammals strongly depends on trapping techniques to survey communities and populations accurately. The main goal of this study was to assess the efficiency of three types of traps (Sherman, Tomahawk and ...

Functional Traits Are Good Predictors of Tree Species Abundance Across 101 Subtropical Forest Species in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
What causes variation in species abundance for a given site remains a central question in community ecology. Foundational to trait-based ecology is the expectation that functional traits determine species abundance. However, the relative success of using

Mapping functional traits: comparing abundance and presence-absence estimates at large spatial scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Efforts to quantify the composition of biological communities increasingly focus on functional traits. The composition of communities in terms of traits can be summarized in several ways.

Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.

Integrating multiple sources of ecological data to unveil macroscale species abundance

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Measurement of species abundance is fundamental in ecology, yet challenging at large spatial scales. Here, the authors show estimates of abundance of 1248 woody plant species over the East Asian islands that highlight macroevolutionary processes of ...
