Patterns in spatial and temporal variation in population abundances of vertebrates

In this thesis I investigate the heterogeneity of population abundance by using the Taylor’s power law relationship of mean and variance, in time and space. Within the framework of stochastic population dynamics, the existence of a temporal Taylor’s power law were confirmed for a large number of Bri...
