A unifying model of species abundance distribution

Martin Wu

Abstract: The species abundance distribution (SAD) is one of the most fundamental and best-studied macroecological patterns at the core of any biodiversity theory. Remarkably, almost every community investigated to date shows a hollow curve, indicative of the presence of many rare species and a few abundant species.
