Occupancy, spatial variance, and the abundance of species [PDF]
A notable and consistent ecological observation known for a long time is that spatial variance in the abundance of a species increases with its mean abundance and that this relationship typically conforms well to a simple power law (Taylor 1961 ...

Species abundance distribution results from a spatial analogy of central limit theorem [PDF]
Copyright © 2009, The National Academy of SciencesThe frequency distribution of species abundances [the species abundance distribution (SAD)] is considered to be a fundamental characteristic of community structure.

Introducing untb, an R Package For Simulating Ecological Drift Under the Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity [PDF]
The distribution of abundance amongst species with similar ways of life is a classical problem in ecology. The unified neutral theory of biodiversity, due to Hubbell, states that observed population dynamics may be explained on the assumption of per ...

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...
