Statistical analysis of polychaete population density: dynamics of dominant species and scaling properties in relative abundance fluctuations

We consider here the dynamics of two polychaete populations based on a 20 yr temporal benthic survey of two muddy fine sand communities in the Bay of Morlaix, Western English Channel. These populations display high temporal variability, which is analyzed here using scaling approaches. We find that...
