- Title
A Nonparametric Lower Bound for the Number of Species Shared by Multiple Communities.
- Authors
Pan, H.-Y.; Chao, Anne; Foissner, Wilhelm
- Abstract
The article presents a nonparametric lower bound for the number of species shared by multiple communities. Based on sample species abundance or replicated incidence records from each of the N communities, it derives a nonparametric approach to constructing a lower bound for the number of species shared by N communities. It also presents simulation results to examine the performance of the lower bounds.
