Modeling Taxa-Abundance Distributions in Microbial Communities using Environmental Sequence Data
Modeling Taxa-Abundance Distributions in Microbial Communities using Environmental Sequence Data is a scholarly work by Stephen Woodcock, Thomas P. Curtis, and Ian M. Head, published in 2006 in ''Microbial Ecology''. The main subjects of the publication include neutral theory of molecular evolution, sampling, human gut flora, relative species abundance, species distribution model, ecological community, abundance, ecological modeling, ecology, Relative abundance distribution, microbial ecology, evolutionary dynamics, community structure, Microbial population biology, Marine microorganism, population, biology, microbial community, and taxon. The authors show that inferring the taxa-abundance distribution of a microbial community from small environmental samples alone is difficult.
