Size‐Abundance Relationships in an Amazonian Bird Community: Implications for the Energetic Equivalence Rule
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The results do not support the EER in this species‐rich Amazonian bird community, and the spatial distribution of resources and mechanisms of interference competition within guilds may explain why most patterns differed from the predictions of the E ER.
