interspecies variation in sensitivity to a particular environmental variable. 2. Methods 2.1. Species richness response curves 2.1.1. Quantile regression The quantile regression method to estimate species richness along the pH gradient was based on Cade and Noon (2003) In our study, three models wer...
Estimates of species richness for a given area require that repeat surveys be taken, so that the statistical robustness of the estimate can be assessed. But how should these repeat surveys be organized in time? Here we present a case study of Australian woodland birds, surveyed using the '...
Several species of fish and marine life eat plankton. How is that diversity important to the ecosystem as a whole? What do many species in ecology form? How many bacteria species are there in the world? Why? How many species have been classified? How many species do scientists estimate exis...
Ecological traits of wild bees were compiled and intersected with data on honeybee densities to estimate the potential increased resource overlap and competition with honeybees based on the ecological trait similarity index Full size image For the present study, records of wild bees were included ...
Furthermore, stochastic character mapping59 implemented in the R package phytools60 was used to estimate the marginal probabilities of all nodes or edge states based on joint sampling; character states were summarized from 1000 stochastic character maps. Correlated character evolution To investigate the ...

We used data from the French National Forest Inventory to calculate species dominant height in 1368 mixed stands. We then used previously developed models to estimate the expected dominant height in virtual monospecific stands with the same environmental conditions. We found that mixture had a ...
Point clouds do not directly provide information about the surface topology [20,116], implying that it will be more challenging to accurately estimate an underlying surface or curve representation and to estimate traits related to the surface area, especially in the presence of noise, outliers or ...
How many species have been classified? How many species do scientists estimate exist in the world today? Why is it important to maintain them? What does it mean for a species to be a keystone species? Provide an example. Explain why non-nat...
