The role of niche overlap, environmental heterogeneity, landscape roughness and productivity in shaping species abundance distributions along the Amazon–Andes …
Aim Statistical and ecological mechanisms shape species abundance distributions (SADs).
A lack of correlation between ecological gradients and SAD shape would suggest that SADs …

Null model approaches to evaluating the relative role of different assembly processes in shaping ecological communities
Various local processes simultaneously shape ecological assemblages. β-diversity is a
useful metric for inferring the underlying mechanisms of community assembly. However, β …

Generalism drives abundance: A computational causal discovery approach
A ubiquitous pattern in ecological systems is that more abundant species tend to be more
generalist; that is, they interact with more species or can occur in wider range of habitats …

How species richness and total abundance constrain the distribution of abundance
KJ Locey, EP White - Ecology letters, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The species abundance distribution (SAD) is one of the most intensively studied
distributions in ecology and its hollow‐curve shape is one of ecology's most general …

Ecological response hides behind the species abundance distribution: Community response to low‐intensity disturbance in managed grasslands
Land‐use and management are disturbance factors that have diverse effects on community
composition and structure. In traditional rural grasslands, such as meadows and pastures …

Function regression in ecology and evolution: FREE
Many questions in ecology and evolutionary biology consider response variables that are
functions (eg species‐abundance distributions) rather than a single scalar value (eg species …
