To test whether the flagship species concept was effective in the park, we studied species richness, relative abundance, and species distribution (occupancy) of medium- to large-sized, ground-dwelling mammals using camera trapping technology. The impact of three environmental and three anthropogenic ...
species abundance and species richness Species abundance and species richness are two of the tools used to measure biodiversity. (more) species richness biology Ask the Chatbot a Question More Actions Written by John P. Rafferty Fact-checked by The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica Article Hi...
Do butterfly and burnet moth species richness and relative abundance decline over time? (ii) Which functional traits explain trends in species richness and abundances? (iii) Do periods that are characterised by major species community shifts and changes of species richness and abundances coincide ...
Steel and Warren McG. King 摘要: Relative abundance distributions (RADs) are an important feature of community structure, but little is known of the factors affecting which type of RAD is observed in a particular community. We examined the influences of species richness and of spatial scale on ...
However, we have little understanding of how environmental heterogeneity shapes the effect of diversity on ecosystem functioning and to what extent this diversity effect is mediated by variation in species richness or species turnover. This knowledge is crucial to scaling up the results of experiments...
Sorex hoyi and S. palustris were not captured during this study. No significant correlation were found between physical characteristics of forest remnants (i.e., area, perimeter, ratio area:perimeter) and the total abundance, species richness or species diversity of shrews. However, shrew captures...
We asked if: (1) species richness differed between sampling units containing high versus low levels of urban habitat, and (2) species' response conformed with expected sensitivity to urbanization. Species were categorized according to their sensitivity to urban habitats into exploiters, adapters, or...
1 and Table 1): (1) species richness, functional dispersion, and abundance directly enhance EMF in a subtropical coniferous forest; (2) dominant species abundance affects indirectly EMF via plant diversity; (3) stand structural complexity mediates the relationship between plant diversity, dominant ...

species richness and think ofCias denoting the species counted at time or place i (the same reasoning also extends to the problem of abundance estimation). The relationship between the quantity of interest (Ni= the number of species in the sampled community) and the actual count (Ci) can be...
