Understanding how disturbance shapes the dynamics of ecological systems is of
fundamental importance in ecology. One emerging approach to revealing and appreciating …

Complex systems consist of many interacting elements which participate in some dynamical
process. The activity of various elements is often different and the fluctuation in the activity of …

Taylor's law (TL), a widely verified quantitative pattern in ecology and other sciences,
describes the variance in a species' population density (or other nonnegative quantity) as a …

Taylor's law (TL) asserts that the variance of the density (individuals per area or volume) of a
set of comparable populations is a power-law function of the mean density of those …

Taylor's law, one of the most widely accepted generalizations in ecology, states that the
variance of a population abundance time series scales as a power law of its mean. Here we …

Taylor's law (TL) describes the scaling relationship between the mean and variance of
populations as a power law. TL is widely observed in ecological systems across space and …

Population monitoring programmes typically rely on sampling because it is impossible to
survey all the sites within the study area. In such a situation, the general recommendation to …

The animal microbiota (including the human microbiota) plays an important role in keeping
the physiological status of the host healthy. Research seeks greater insight into whether …

Taylor's power law of fluctuation scaling (TL) states that for population density, population
abundance, biomass density, biomass abundance, cell mass, protein copy number, or any …

The scaling exponent relating the mean and variance of the density of individual organisms
in space (ie, Taylor's slope: z space) is well studied in ecology, but the analogous scaling …
