Estimating abundances of interacting species using morphological traits, foraging guilds, and habitat.

We developed a statistical model to estimate the abundances of potentially interacting species encountered while conducting point-count surveys at a set of ecologically relevant locations - as in a metacommunity of species. In the model we assume that abundances of species with similar traits (e.g.,...
