Concepts

Statistical framework that simultaneously models multiple species responses to environmental gradients while accounting for species associations and phylogenetic relationships

Model developed to determine LARs based on SAR and simple properties of food webs including species richness, number of links and connectance

A statistical distribution commonly observed in species abundance patterns, predicted by METE for undisturbed communities

A saturation function P = (Vmax * S)/(K + S) where P is productivity, S is richness, K is half-saturation point, and Vmax is asymptote

Model that constructs food webs by assigning niche values and ranges to species while maintaining desired connectance

Predicting community-level function by summing individual species contributions based on their abundance and per-capita rates
