- Description:
- This report documents statistical procedures for using species abundance distributions for monitoring pollution impacts in aquatic biological communities. The species abundance distributions are also appropriate for use in other areas of applied ecology as well. Previous use of these tools by ecologists has relied on largely ad hoc data analysis procedures having little basis in statistical theory. This report is a synthesis of the statistical theory that applies to species abundance distributions. The report discusses appropriate statistical interpretation of the distributions, sampling distributions, types of abundance models such as the lognormal and the gamma, the canonical hypothesis of species abundance, and methods of testing hypotheses. It also identifies a number of important questions needing further research. Submitted to Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of the Interior.
