Scaling and power-laws in ecological systems.

Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling relationships related to energy acquisition and transformation and power-laws related to fluctuations in numbers. Our aim is to show how individual level attributes can help to explain and predict patterns at the ...

On fitting power laws to ecological data

Heavy-tailed or power-law distributions are becoming increasingly common in biological literature. A wide range of biological data has been fitted to distributions with heavy tails. Many of these studies use simple fitting methods to find the parameters in the distribution, which can give highly misleading results. The potential pitfalls that can occur when using these methods are pointed out, ...

Power-laws and Non-Power-laws in Dark Matter Halos

Simulated dark matter profiles are often modelled as a ‘NFW’ density profile rather than a single power law. Recently, attention has turned to the rather rigorous power-law behaviour exhibited by the ‘pseudo phase-space density’ of the dark matter halo, which is defined dimensionally in terms of the local density and velocity dispersion of the dark matter particles. The non-power-law behaviour ...

Biodiversity power laws

Introduction The last ten years have been marked by important discoveries and scientific advances in our understanding of biodiversity. The emergence of new fields, such as bioinformatics, ecoinformatics, and computational ecology (Helly et al., 1995; Spengler, 2000; Green et al., 2005) has brought about an informational revolution by making available massive data sets on the composition, distr...
