Estimating species – area relationships by modeling abundance and frequency subject to incomplete sampling

Estimating species – area relationships by modeling abundance and frequency subject to incomplete sampling

Abstract Models and data used to describe species–area relationships confound sampling with ecological process as they fail to acknowledge that estimates of species richness arise due to sampling. This compromises our ability to make ecological inferences from and about species–area relationships. We develop and illustrate hierarchical community models of abundance …
