Species abundance distributions should underpin ordinal cover‐abundance transformations [PDF]
Applied Vegetation Science, 2019 Abstract Questions The cover and abundance of individual plant species have been recorded on ordinal scales for millions of plots world‐wide. Ordinal cover data often need to be transformed to a quantitative form (0%–100%), especially when scrutinising summed cover of multiple species ...

Environmental and ichthyofaunistic characteristics of Amazonian streams with and without fish farm [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 The environmental impacts caused by fish farming can lead to changes in aquatic ecosystems, especially in fish communities. In this study, we investigated possible changes in water quality, in the number of species and individuals of the same species ...

Global warming will affect the maximum potential abundance of boreal plant species [PDF]
, 2020 Forecasting the impact of future global warming on biodiversity requires understanding how temperature limits the distribution of species. Here we rely on Liebig's Law of Minimum to estimate the effect of temperature on the maximum potential abundance ...

, 2020 Auxiliary information in the form of species abundance is frequently available as part of data collected for ecological investigations, yet when modeling distributions of species over large regions, species presence (and sometimes absence) are typically ...

A quantitative review of abundance-based species distribution models
bioRxiv, 2021 The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend not only on their presence in a given community, but also on their local abundance.

Taking species abundance distributions beyond individuals [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2009 AbstractThe species abundance distribution (SAD) is one of the few universal patterns in ecology. Research on this fundamental distribution has primarily focused on the study of numerical counts, irrespective of the traits of individuals. Here we show that considering a set of Generalized Species Abundance Distributions (GSADs) encompassing several ...

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

The influence of land drainage on the abundance and species composition of small mammals
Theriologia Ukrainica, 2022 The article is devoted to the research on the abundance and species composition of small mammals in the territory of central Ukraine (Cherkasy, Poltava, and Kyiv oblasts) affected by land development by drainage.

How selection structures species abundance distributions [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 How do species divide resources to produce the characteristic species abundance distributions seen in nature? One way to resolve this problem is to examine how the biomass (or capacity) of the spatial guilds that combine to produce an abundance distribution is allocated among species.

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 ...
