Sampling Hubbell's neutral theory of biodiversity
Sampling Hubbell's neutral theory of biodiversity is a scholarly work, published in 2004 in ''Ecology Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include sample, relative species abundance, metacommunity, ecological community, abundance, conservation biology, neutral theory of molecular evolution, ecology, Relative abundance distribution, biodiversity, introduced species, biology, statistics, pollinator decline, glossary of archaeology, sampling, and multivariate statistics. Here, instead of taking a multivariate approach, authors further develop the sampling theory of Hubbell's neutral spatially implicit theory and derive simple abundance distributions for a random sample both from a local community and a metacommunity.
