Polymorphism data can reveal the origin of species abundance statistics.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Apr 2009

Maruvka Yosef E, Shnerb Nadav M

Abstract excerpt

What is the underlying mechanism behind the fat-tailed statistics observed for species abundance distributions? The two main hypotheses in the field are the adaptive (niche) theories, where species abundance reflects its fitness, and the neutral theory that assumes demographic stochasticity as the main factor determining community structure. Both explanations suggest quite similar species-abundance distributions,...
