Scaling laws predict global microbial diversity
KJ Locey, JT Lennon - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Scaling laws underpin unifying theories of biodiversity and are among the most predictively
powerful relationships in biology. However, scaling laws developed for plants and animals …

Species are not most abundant in the centre of their geographic range or climatic niche
The pervasive idea that species should be most abundant in the centre of their geographic
range or centre of their climatic niche is a key assumption in many existing ecological …

Habitat suitability estimated by niche models is largely unrelated to species abundance
TA Dallas, A Hastings - Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Data on species occurrences are far more common than data on species abundances.
However, a central goal of large‐scale ecology is to understand the spatial distribution of …

[HTML][HTML] An extensive comparison of species-abundance distribution models
A number of different models have been proposed as descriptions of the species-
abundance distribution (SAD). Most evaluations of these models use only one or two …

Empirical abundance distributions are more uneven than expected given their statistical baseline
Exploring and accounting for the emergent properties of ecosystems as complex systems is
a promising horizon in the search for general processes to explain common ecological …

Linking environmental filtering and disequilibrium to biogeography with a community climate framework
We present a framework to measure the strength of environmental filtering and
disequilibrium of the species composition of a local community across time, relative to past …

Characterizing species abundance distributions across taxa and ecosystems using a simple maximum entropy model
The species abundance distribution (SAD) is one of the most studied patterns in ecology
due to its potential insights into commonness and rarity, community assembly, and patterns …

Finite mixture of regression modeling for high-dimensional count and biomass data in ecology
Understanding how species distributions respond as a function of environmental gradients
is a key question in ecology, and will benefit from a multi-species approach. Multi-species …
