Broad-scale abundance estimates of the southern hairy-nosed wombat population use a proxy measure based on counting the number of active burrows, which is multiplied by an index of ‘wombats/active burrow’.

Changes in tree species composition are one of the key aspects of forest succession. In recent decades, significant changes have occurred in the tree species composition of subtropical forests in China, with a decrease in coniferous trees and an increase

Aquatic Hemiptera of Wisconsin [PDF]
About 59,000 aquatic Hemiptera were collected in Wisconsin, most of them in the last 15 years. These include three species of Belostomatidae, 48 species of Corixidae, one species of Naucoridae, four species of Nepidae, nine species of Notonectidae, and ...

SPECIES-AREA RELATIONSHIP FOR POWER-LAW SPECIES ABUNDANCE DISTRIBUTION [PDF]
We studied the mathematical relations between species abundance distributions (SADs) and species-area relationships (SARs) and found that a power-law SAR can be generally derived from a power-law SAD without a special assumption such as the "canonical hypothesis".

Species abundance patterns in an ecosystem simulation studied through Fisher's logseries [PDF]
We have developed an individual-based evolving predator-prey ecosystem simulation that integrates, for the first time, a complex individual behaviour model, an evolutionary mechanism and a speciation process, at an acceptable computational cost.

Global abundance estimates for 9,700 bird species [PDF]
Significance For the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, and conservation, abundance estimates of organisms are essential. Quantifying abundance, however, is difficult and time consuming. Using a data integration approach integrating expert-derived abundance estimates and global citizen science data, we estimate the global population of ...

Long-term conservation schemes usually concern the rarest species, extremely threatened. Investigating Red Data Book species is inescapable for determining their threatened category and optimal measures for the protection.

River regulation by dams on the Missouri River has modified riparian forest successional patterns, with decreases in early and increases in later seral stages and higher occurrence of invasive tree species, including Russian olive ( Elaeagnus ...

Measuring β‐diversity with species abundance data [PDF]
Summary In 2003, 24 presence–absence β‐diversity metrics were reviewed and a number of trade‐offs and redundancies identified. We present a parallel investigation into the performance of abundance‐based metrics of β‐diversity. β‐diversity is a multi‐faceted concept, central to spatial ecology. There are multiple metrics available to quantify it: the

Relative species abundance of replicator dynamics with sparse interactions [PDF]
A theory of relative species abundance on sparsely-connected networks is presented by investigating the replicator dynamics with symmetric interactions.
