The Statistical Inevitability of Stability‐Diversity Relationships in Community Ecology
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is shown that for species diversity measures, stability will essentially always rise with species diversity because of the statistical averaging of the fluctuations in species' abundances, and that models of statistical averaging can serve as a useful baseline for predictions of community stability.
