The species abundance distribution (SAD) is an important concept in ecology, and much
work has focused on the SAD in a theoretical context. However, less focus has been placed …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 716–727 Abstract Understanding the maintenance and origin of
biodiversity is a formidable task, yet many ubiquitous ecological patterns are predicted by a …

Paleoecological analyses that test for spatial or temporal variation in diversity must consider
not only sampling and preservation bias, but also the effects of temporal scale (ie, time …

В пособии обобщены данные мировой литературы и результаты собственных

Species abundance distributions are an essential tool in describing the biodiversity of
ecological communities. We now know that their shape changes as a function of the size of …

Aim Variation in species composition among sites (β‐diversity) generally decreases with
increasing latitude, but the underlying mechanisms are ambiguous. Although both local and …

The species-area relationship (SAR) is considered to be one of a few generalities in
ecology, yet a universal model of its shape and slope has remained elusive. Recently, Harte …

Species abundance distributions (SAD) are central to the description of diversity and have
played a major role in the development of theories of biodiversity and biogeography …

The scale‐dependent species abundance distribution (SAD) is fundamental in ecology, but
few spatially explicit models of this pattern have thus far been studied. Here we show …

To quantify and assess the processes underlying community assembly and driving tree
species abundance distributions (SADs) with spatial scale variation in two typical subtropical …
