The relationships between diversity patterns and community abundance
Dlouhá, Hana ; Storch, David (advisor) ; Keil, Petr (referee)
Increase in the number of species with area is one of the most studied ecological patterns. There is a considerable amount of literature devoted to this question. The rate of increase in the species diversity with area isn't equal at all the spatial scales, as shown by empirical studies. On the finest and coarsest scales, there is distinctively higher rate of increase than on the middle (regional) scales. These distinctions were attributed to many characteristics of environment, taxon etc. There is a possibility to explain the variability of this particular rate by mean species abundance. This work focuses on summarizing the relationships between the rate of increase in biodiversity with area, factors that influence it and mean species abundance.
