An approach based on the total‐species accumulation curve and higher taxon richness to estimate realistic upper limits in regional species richness

Abstract Most of accumulation curves tend to underestimate species richness, as they do not consider spatial heterogeneity in species distribution, or are structured to provide lower bound estimates and limited extrapolations. The total‐species (T–S) curve allows extrapolations over large areas whil...
