The decoupling of abundance and species richness in lizard communities. - J. Anim. Ecol. 80: 650-656.Nimmo, D. G., James, S. G., Kelly, L. T., Watson, S. J., & Bennett, A. F. (2011). The decoupling of abundance and species richness in lizard communities. Journal of Animal ...
Estimated species richness increased rapidly for the small range of patch sizes examined. Total abundance was found to linearly increase with area. The inclusion of random site effects into the model resulted in significant density variations among patches; therefore, patch area was not the only ...
Species richness, abundance and population density of breeding birds decreased with increasing level of radiation, even after controlling statistically for the effects of potentially confounding factors such as soil type, habitat and height of the vegetation. This effect was differential for birds eating...
For each outcome variable (species richness, abundance, and deadwood) we first calculated the overall mean effect size. If significant heterogeneity in the effect sizes was found, we explored the influence of effect modifiers thought to be biologically significant in separate models. Following models ...
However, Castanopsis echidnocarpa abundance indirectly increased EMF via species richness and total woody species abundance. Simultaneously, our findings suggest that stand structural complexity mediated the relationship between plant diversity and EMF, and species richness, total woody species abundance, ...
we conducted a meta-analysis of the effects of land abandonment on plant and animal species richness and abundance in agroforestry, arable land, pastures, and permanent crops of the Mediterranean Basin. In particular, we investigated (1) which taxonomic groups (arthropods, birds, lichen, vascular ...
Information from camera traps is used for inferences on species presence, richness, abundance, demography, and activity. Camera trap placement design is likely to influence these parameter estimates. Herein we simultaneously generate and compare estimates obtained from camera traps (a) placed to optimize...
We examined in parallel species richness and beta diversity components of nine taxonomic groups along a finite space, represented by pastured grasslands along an elevational gradient. Beta diversity, which is assumed to bridge local alpha diversity to regional gamma diversity was partitioned into the ...
Cultivated plant species in gardens were identified and counted; their frequencies and abundance levels were calculated. Plant species richness, Shannon, evenness, and Simpson’s indices were calculated. More than 12,000 plants belonging to 223 plant species compromising 72 plant families were found. ...
total number of vertebrate species and total number of threatened vertebrate species per cell, where positive values (red) represent cells with higher threat than expected for their richness alone, and negative values (gray) represent cells with equal or lower threat than expected for richness alone...
