Predicting the species abundance distribution using a model food web.
A large number of models of the species abundance distribution (SAD) have been proposed, many of which are generically similar to the log-normal distribution, from which they are often indistinguishable when describing a given data set. Ecological data sets are necessarily incomplete samples of an ecosystem, subject to statistical noise, and cannot readily be combined to yield a closer approxim...
متن کاملA new species abundance distribution model based on model combination.
Species abundance distribution (SAD) is one of the important measures of biodiversity and one of the most significant concepts in ecology communities. Using this concept, the biologists can infer a lot of information from their collected data. In this article, we proposed a new method for predicting SAD. This method is based on the combination of several measures parameterized by machine learni...
متن کاملEcological community description using the food web, species abundance, and body size.
Measuring the numerical abundance and average body size of individuals of each species in an ecological community's food web reveals new patterns and illuminates old ones. This approach is illustrated using data from the pelagic community of a small lake: Tuesday Lake, Michigan, United States. Body mass varies almost 12 orders of magnitude. Numerical abundance varies almost 10 orders of magnitu...
متن کاملPredicting the distribution of plant species using logistic regression (Case study: Garizat rangelands of Yazd province)
The aim of this research was to study the relationships between presence of plant species and environmental factors in Garizat rangelands of Yazd province and providing their predictive habitat models. After delimitation of the study area, sampling was performed using randomized-systematic method. Accordingly, vegetation data including presence and cover percentage were determined in each quadr...
متن کاملPredicting the Climatic Ecological Niche of Artemisia aucheri Boiss in Central Iran using Species Distribution Modeling
Changes in the geographical distribution of plants are one of the major impacts of the climate change. This study was aimed to predict the potential changes in the distribution of Artemisia aucheri Boiss in Isfahan rangelands. Therefore, six bioclimatic variables and two physiographic variables were used under the Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Flexible Denotative Analysis (FDA), Surface Range...
