Niche Parameters and Species Richness

Ecology, 1981
This study examines how spatial niche parameters change as functions of species richness. The basis of the study was the partitioning of space by a community of small mammals in eastern Australian coastal heathland. Live—trapping was carried out in 13 habitat patches with two to seven coexisting species of small mammals on a 6.4—ha study area.

Species richness in patchy environments

Journal of the International Association for Mathematical Geology, 1978
The logical structure of species richness determinations is outlined in order to explain how their accuracy is affected by nonrandomly distributed populations. The transformation of a species-area curve to a species-range curve is discussed in general terms and conditions required for accurate species richness determinations are given.

Species Richness in Plant Communities

1992
Knowledge of species richness is important for establishing priorities in conservation planning and management. Patterns of species richness in four exceptionally species-rich plant communities and correlations between species richness patterns, physical habitat, and historical biogeographic factors are examined here.

Species Richness and Resistance to Invasions

1996
Traditionally, tropical forests, and especially tropical rain forests, have been contrasted with extratropical communities in terms of their species diversity and stability (Elton 1958). Unfortunately, ecologists have used the word’ stability’ to mean several different things (Orians 1975; Harrison 1979; Pimm 1984): Resilience can be defined as a rate ...
