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.

Plant species abundance and phylogeny explain the structure of recruitment networks.
Established plants can affect the recruitment of young plants, filtering out some and allowing the recruitment of others, with profound effects on plant community dynamics. Recruitment networks (RNs) depict which species recruit under which others.

Species richness, abundance and phenology of fungal fruit bodies over 21 years in a Swiss forest plot [PDF]
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
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.

Neutral Theory and Relative Species Abundance in Ecology [PDF]
The theory of island biogeography[1] asserts that an island or a local community approaches an equilibrium species richness as a result of the interplay between the immigration of species from the much larger metacommunity source area and local ...

Road Zone Effects in Small-Mammal Communities
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 ...

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.

Gradual climatic changes caused by mountains’ altitudinal variation promote alterations in the structure of ecological communities. Environmental changes are also expected according to the slope’s position in relation to the sea.

Fragmentation and insects: theory and application to calcareous grasslands [PDF]
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.
