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

Biodiversity on island chains: neutral model simulations
, 2010 A neutral ecology model is simulated on an island chain, in which neighbouring islands can exchange individuals but only the first island is able to receive immigrants from a metacommunity.

Rotifer communities of Deepor Beel, Assam, India: richness, abundance and ecology
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2010 Plankton samples collected from two sampling stations of Deepor Beel (a Ramsar site in Assam, northeastern India) between November 2002 and October 2003, reveal 110 and 100 species of Rotifera, exhibit monthly richness ranging between 43-65 (56 plus or ...

Road Zone Effects in Small-Mammal Communities
Ecology and Society, 2009 Our study focused on the putative effects of roads on small-mammal communities in a high desert region of southern Utah. Specifically, we tested whether or not roads create adjacent zones characterized by lower small- mammal densities, abundance, and ...

Arboreal twig-nesting ants form dominance hierarchies over nesting resources. [PDF]
, 2019 Interspecific dominance hierarchies have been widely reported across animal systems. High-ranking species are expected to monopolize more resources than low-ranking species via resource monopolization. In some ant species, dominance hierarchies have been
