Finite size scaling in the local abundances of geographic populations

Finite size scaling in the local abundances of geographic populations

We analyzed the statistical distribution of intra-specific local abundances for a set North American breeding bird species. We constructed frequency plots for every species and found that they showed long-tail power-law behavior, truncated at an upper abundance cut-off value. Based on finite size sc...
