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 ...

Modeling large scale species abundance with latent spatial processes [PDF]
, 2009 Modeling species abundance patterns using local environmental features is an important, current problem in ecology. The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) in South Africa is a global hot spot of diversity and endemism, and provides a rich class of species ...

Ecological niche structure and rangewide abundance patterns of species [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2013 Spatial abundance patterns across species' ranges have attracted intense attention in macroecology and biogeography. One key hypothesis has been that abundance declines with geographical distance from the range centre, but tests of this idea have shown that the effect may occur indeed only in a minority of cases.

Heat Stress Altered the Vaginal Microbiome and Metabolome in Rabbits
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Heat stress can have an impact on parental gamete maturation and reproduction functions. According to current research, the microbial composition of the vaginal cavity is species specific. Pregnancy, menstruation, and genital diseases have been linked to

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 ...

Long-term species richness-abundance dynamics in relation to species departures and arrivals in wintering urban bird assemblages [PDF]
, 2019 Temporal dynamics of local assemblages depend on the species richness and the total abundance of individuals as well as local departure and arrival rates of species. We used urban bird survey data collected from the same 31 study plots and methods during

Relationships between body size and abundance in ecology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007 Body size is perhaps the most fundamental property of an organism and is related to many biological traits, including abundance. The relationship between abundance and body size has been extensively studied in an attempt to quantify the form of the relationship and to understand the processes that generate it.
