Species abundance distributions: moving beyond single prediction theories to integration within an ecological framework
Species abundance distributions (SADs) follow one of ecology’s oldest and most universal
laws – every community shows a hollow curve or hyperbolic shape on a histogram with many …

Relationships between body size and abundance in ecology
Body size is perhaps the most fundamental property of an organism and is related to many
biological traits, including abundance. The relationship between abundance and body size …

On estimating the exponent of power‐law frequency distributions
Power‐law frequency distributions characterize a wide array of natural phenomena. In ecology,
biology, and many physical and social sciences, the exponents of these power laws are …

Variation in above‐ground forest biomass across broad climatic gradients
Aim An understanding of the relationship between forest biomass and climate is needed to
predict the impacts of climate change on carbon stores. Biomass patterns have been …

Thermodynamic and metabolic effects on the scaling of production and population energy use
Ecosystem properties result in part from the characteristics of individual organisms. How these
individual traits scale to impact ecosystem‐level processes is currently unclear. Because …

Disparity between range map‐and survey‐based analyses of species richness: patterns, processes and implications
AH Hurlbert, EP White - Ecology Letters, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Species richness patterns are characterized either by overlaying species range maps or by
compiling geographically extensive survey data for multiple local communities. Although, …
