Neutral Macroecology
The central themes of community ecology—distribution, abundance, and diversity—display strongly marked and very general patterns. These include the log-normal distribution of ab...
Randomness, Area, and Species Richness
Thorough censuses have been made of breeding birds on islands in Pymatuning Lake, a reservoir at the Pennsylvania—Ohio border. Analysis of the censuses yields the conclusion tha...
Nested by design: model fitting and interpretation in a mixed model era
Summary Nested data structures are ubiquitous in the study of ecology and evolution, and such structures need to be modelled appropriately. Mixed‐effects models offer a powerful...
On the Distribution of<i>K</i>-tuple Matches for Sequence Homology: A Constant Time Exact Calculation of the Variance
We study the distribution of a statistic useful in calculating the significance of the number of k-tuple matches detected in biological sequence homology algorithms. The statist...
Herbivory and Defensive Characteristics of Tree Species in a Lowland Tropical Forest
Rates of herbivory and defensive characteristics of young and mature leaves were measured for saplings of 46 canopy tree species in a lowland tropical rain forest (Barro Colorad...
