Estimating species richness from quadrat sampling data: a general approach.
We consider the problem of estimating the number of species (denoted by S) of a biological community located in a region divided into n quadrats. To address this question, different hierarchical parametric approaches have been recently developed. Despite a detailed modeling of the underlying biological processes, they all have some limitations. Indeed, some assume that n is theoretically infini...
متن کاملOn the Bayesian estimation of species richness and related quantities from quadrat sampling
We consider the problem of estimating the number of species of a biological community located in a region R divided into J quadrats. Recently, two parametric approaches have been developed which both take into account in a same modeling framework the detectability and the occurence of species in the quadrats. One developed by Dorazio and Royle (2005, J.A.S.A. 100, 389-398) ignores the unsampled...
متن کاملEstimating species richness
Measuring species richness is an essential objective for many community ecologists and conservation biologists. The number of species in a local assemblage is an intuitive and natural index of community structure, and patterns of species richness have been measured at both small (e.g. Blake & Loiselle 2000) and large (e.g. Rahbek & Graves 2001) spatial scales. Many classic models in community e...
متن کاملEstimating global species richness using symbolic data meta-analysis
Global species richness is a key biodiversity metric. Concerns continue to grow over its decline due to overexploitation and habitat destruction by humans. Despite recent efforts to estimate 3 global species richness, the resulting estimates have been highly uncertain and often logically inconsistent. Estimates lower down either the taxonomic or geographic hierarchies are often larger than thos...
متن کاملQuadrat Sampling in Population Ecology
Background Estimating the abundance of organisms. Ecology is often referred to as the "study of distribution and abundance". This being true, we would often like to know how many of a certain organism are in a certain place, or at a certain time. Information on the abundance of an organism, or group of organisms is fundamental to most questions in ecology. However, we can rarely do a complete c...
