Covariations in ecological scaling laws fostered by community dynamics [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(40),
10672-10677, 2017 Scaling laws in ecology, intended both as functional relationships among ecologically-relevant quantities and the probability distributions that characterize their occurrence, have long attracted the interest of empiricists and theoreticians. Empirical evidence exists of power laws associated with the number of species inhabiting an ecosystem, their ...

Tiger abundance and ecology in Jigme Dorji National Park, Bhutan
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Conservation of large carnivores, especially, wild tigers (Panthera tigris) require an accurate population estimate and knowledge of their ecology. Camera traps have been widely used to estimate the population abundance of animals with unique natural ...

Long-term monitoring of the fish community in the Minho Estuary (NW Iberian Peninsula) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe paper presents an extensive fish sampling dataset spanning a long-term period from 2010 to 2019. The data were collected in Lenta Marina, an upstream area in the Minho Estuary of the NW Iberian Peninsula, which belongs to a LTSER (Long-Term Socio ...

The effect of population abundances on the stability of large random ecosystems [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 98, 022410 (2018), 2017 Random matrix theory successfully connects the structure of interactions of large ecological communities to their ability to respond to perturbations. One of the most debated aspects of this approach is the missing role of population abundances. Despite being one of the most studied patterns in ecology, and one of the most empirically accessible ...

Emergence of structural and dynamical properties of ecological mutualistic networks [PDF]
Nature, 500 (449), 2013, 2013 Mutualistic networks are formed when the interactions between two classes of species are mutually beneficial. They are important examples of cooperation shaped by evolution. Mutualism between animals and plants plays a key role in the organization of ecological communities.

The influence of ecological factors on mosquito abundance and occurrence in Galápagos [PDF]
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2018 We sampled mosquitoes across 18 sites established at different elevations and stretching from the north to the south of Isla Santa Cruz, Galápagos. Two commonly occurring species, Ae. taeniorhynchus and Cx. quinquefasciatus, were collected along with environmental variables characteristic of the trapping sites to assess their influence on mosquito ...

Linearity and Scaling of a Statistical Model for the Species Abundance Distribution [PDF]
, 2001 We derive a linear recursion relation for the species abundance distribution in a statistical model of ecology and demonstrate the existence of a scaling solution.

A Perspective on Body Size and Abundance Relationships across Ecological Communities [PDF]
Biology, 2020 Recently, several studies have reported relationships between the abundance of organisms in an ecological community and their mean body size (called cross-community scaling relationships: CCSRs) that can be described by simple power functions. A primary focus of these studies has been on the scaling exponent (slope) and whether it approximates −3/4, as
