How differences in plant abundance measures produce different species‐abundance distributions [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2012 Summary1. Species‐abundance distributions (SADs) are a convenient and common method for describing ecological communities. Despite their long history and the cornucopia of theoretical models, which have been suggested to describe them, no agreement has been reached as to which models are best.2.

Species richness, abundance and phenology of fungal fruit bodies over 21 years in a Swiss forest plot [PDF]
, 2001 Fungal fruit bodies were surveyed on a plot area of 1500 m2 from 1975¿99 (excluding 1980¿83) in the fungal reserve La Chaneaz in western Switzerland. Fruit bodies were identified and counted on a weekly basis.

Butterflies of the high altitude Atacama Desert: habitat use and conservation
Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 The butterfly fauna of the high-altitude desert of Northern Chile, though depauperate, shows high endemism, is poorly known and is of considerable conservation concern.

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2023 Estuarine waterbodies typically support diverse and abundant waterbird communities. However, global environmental degradation as a result of anthropogenic activities is leading to species level changes in biodiversity, with top predators such as ...

Northeastern Atlantic benthic foraminifera during the last 45,000 years: Changes in productivity seen from the bottom up [PDF]
, 1995 We studied benthic foraminifera from the last 45 kyr in the >63 mu m size fraction in Biogeochemical Ocean Flux Studies (BOFS) cores 5K (50 degrees 41.3'N, 21 degrees 51.9'W, depth 3547 m) and 14K (58 degrees 37.2'N, 19 degrees 26.2'W, depth 1756 m), at ...

Fragmentation and insects: theory and application to calcareous grasslands [PDF]
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2005 Habitat loss poses the greatest threat to the long-term survival of species on earth and has three major components: straightforward destruction of habitat, increasing fragmentation and deterioration of habitat quality. Habitat fragmentation, i.e.

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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 One of the few laws in ecology is that communities consist of few common and many rare taxa. Functional traits may help to identify the underlying mechanisms of this community pattern, since they correlate with different niche dimensions.
