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

Chaotic turnover of rare and abundant species in a strongly interacting model community [PDF]
PNAS 121(11) e2312822121, 2024, 2023 The composition of ecological communities varies not only between different locations but also in time. Understanding the fundamental processes that drive species towards rarity or abundance is crucial to assessing ecosystem resilience and adaptation to changing environmental conditions.

Frontiers 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

Abundance and ecological associations of small mammals [PDF]
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2019 ABSTRACTEffective conservation and management of small mammals require knowledge of the population dynamics of co‐occurring species. We estimated the abundances, autocorrelations, and spatiotemporal associations of 4 small‐mammal species from 2011–2016 using live‐trapping mark‐recapture methods on 9 sites across elevation and canopy openness gradients ...

An equation of state unifies diversity, productivity, abundance and biomass
Communications Biology, 2022 To advance understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem function, ecologists seek widely applicable relationships among species diversity and other ecosystem characteristics such as species productivity, biomass, and abundance.

Integrating multiple sources of ecological data to unveil macroscale species abundance
Nature 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 ...

Global abundance estimates for 9,700 bird species
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance For the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, and conservation, abundance estimates of organisms are essential. Quantifying abundance, however, is difficult and time consuming.

Stochastic model for the species abundance problem in an ecological community [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2004 We propose a model based on coupled multiplicative stochastic processes to understand the dynamics of competing species in an ecosystem. This process can be conveniently described by a Fokker-Planck equation. We provide an analytical expression for the marginalized stationary distribution.
