Species-area relationship for power-law species abundance distribution
We studied the mathematical relations between species abundance distributions (SADs) and species-area relationships (SARs) and found that a power-law SAR can be generally derived from a power-law SAD without a special assumption such as the “canonical hypothesis”. In the present analysis, an SAR-exponent is obtained as a function of an SAD-exponent for a finite number of species. We also studie...
متن کاملSpecies-fragmented area relationship.
The species-area relationship (SAR) gives a quantitative description of the increasing number of species in a community with increasing area of habitat. In conservation, SARs have been used to predict the number of extinctions when the area of habitat is reduced. Such predictions are most needed for landscapes rather than for individual habitat fragments, but SAR-based predictions of extinction...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in a Hierarchical Model for Species Occupancy
In this paper, we describe a model for the relationship between the occupancy pattern of a species on a landscape and imperfect observations of its presence or absence. The structure in the observation process is incorporated generatively, and environmental inputs are incorporated discriminatively. Our experiments on synthetic data compare two methods for training this model under various regul...
متن کاملDownscaling species occupancy from coarse spatial scales.
The measurement and prediction of species' populations at different spatial scales is crucial to spatial ecology as well as conservation biology. An efficient yet challenging goal to achieve such population estimates consists of recording empirical species' presence and absence at a specific regional scale and then trying to predict occupancies at finer scales. So far the majority of the method...
متن کاملThe species-area relationship and evolution.
Models relating to the species-area curve usually assume the existence of species, and are concerned mainly with ecological timescales. We examine an individual-based model of co-evolution on a spatial lattice based on the tangled nature model in which species are emergent structures, and show that reproduction, mutation and dispersion by diffusion, with interaction via genotype space, produces...
