Body size and abundance relationship: an index of diversity for herbivores
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001-11-01)It is evident to any biologist that small-bodied species within a given higher taxon (order, class, phylum, etc.) tend to be represented by more individuals. Hence small-bodied species are generally more abundant than ... -
