DEMOGRAPHIC STOCHASTICITY AND THE VARIANCE REDUCTION EFFECT
Demographic stochasticity is almost universally modeled as sampling variance in a homogeneous population, although it is defined as arising from random variation among individua...
Assessing the vulnerability of species richness to anthropogenic climate change in a biodiversity hotspot
ABSTRACT Aim To compare theoretical approaches towards estimating risks of plant species loss to anthropogenic climate change impacts in a biodiversity hotspot, and to develop a...
Importance of Spatial and Temporal Dynamics in Species Regional Abundance and Distribution
Several recent models have been proposed to explain the pattern of species distribution within a region. Brown's niche—based model, Levins' stochastic immigration—extinction mod...
Effects of biodiversity on the functioning of trophic groups and ecosystems
Over the past decade, accelerating rates of species extinction have prompted an increasing number of studies to reduce species diversity experimentally and examine how this alte...
Dynamics of Regional Distribution: The Core and Satellite Species Hypothesis
A new concept is introduced to analyse species' regional distributions and to relate the pattern of distributions to niche relations. Several sets of data indicate that average ...
