Occupancy distributions arising in sampling from Gibbs-Poisson abundance models
Estimating the number n of unseen species from a k−sample displaying only p ≤ k distinct sampled species has received attention for long. It requires a model of species abundance together with a sampling model. We start with a discrete model of iid stochastic species abundances, each with Gibbs-Poisson distribution. A k−sample drawn from the n−species abundances vector is the one obtained while...
متن کاملSampling from Gibbs distributions
Sampling from Gibbs distributions by Eric Joseph Vigoda Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California at Berkeley Professor Alistair Sinclair, Chair This thesis considers computational questions concerning statistical mechanical models of idealized physical systems. The equilibrium state of the physical system is described by a probability distribution over the allowed con g...
متن کاملComparing models of species abundance Arising from :
E1 Ecologists are struggling to explain how so many tropical tree species can coexist in tropical forests, and several empirical studies have demonstrated that negative density dependence is an important mechanism of treespecies coexistence. Volkov et al. compare a model incorporating negative density dependence with a dispersal-limited neutral model and claim that each predicts six empirical s...
متن کاملOn species occupancy-abundance models
One of the most pronounced generalizations in macroecology is the positive interspecific relationship between the distribution and abundance of species. Understanding of this relationship comes in two forms: statistical descriptions and insight into the biological mechanisms. Several statistical and mathematical models have been used to describe, to summarize, to interpret, and to predict the p...
متن کاملCan Occupancy–Abundance Models Be Used to Monitor Wolf Abundance?
Estimating the abundance of wild carnivores is of foremost importance for conservation and management. However, given their elusive habits, direct observations of these animals are difficult to obtain, so abundance is more commonly estimated from sign surveys or radio-marked individuals. These methods can be costly and difficult, particularly in large areas with heavy forest cover. As an altern...
