This thesis addresses species richness estimation for benthic data by describing the clustering of individuals within a species using a Neyman Type A distribution, and incorporating this into species richness estimates. A review of current species richness estimation methods is included . The maximumlikelihood approach to species richness estimation is extended to incorporate the Neyman Type A model, with a gamma mixing distribution on the mean abundance of individuals within a species. Species richness estimates of this model are compared •1 to those of the simpler negative binomial and Poiss

Pine sandhill are integral pyrogenic communities in the southeastern United States. Though once widespread, habitat destruction, fire suppression and fragmentation have reduced the population to nearly 3%. It is important to learn as much as possible about these unique areas in order to implement best management practices to conserve and restore the existing populations of these communities. Fire is central to the maintenance of pine sandhill communities and two conceptual hypothesis regarding burn frequency have come to light in maintaining the unique species composition and richness of these

Broad scale geographic variation in species diversity correlates with environmental variables in most taxa, but a mechanistic understanding of this relationship has remained elusive.

Preston observed that the number of individuals per species in species assemblages is log-normally distributed (with two parameters: the total number of individuals, I, and the number of individuals of the rarest species, m).

The number of species varies greatly among taxa. In birds, for example, the parvorder Passerida contains 3556 species while the Odontophorida (New World Quails) contains only six species. This uneven distribution of species among avian taxa is not random and therefore warrants an explanation. The behavioral drive hypothesis stipulates that the capacity for innovation, coupled with the rapid transmission of the behavioral novelty to conspecifics, may expose individuals to new selective pressures and help fix mutations that would otherwise not be expressed.

Environmental heterogeneity is often cited as one of the driving mechanisms behind community species composition and diversity.

Species richness of virtually all high-level taxonomic groups is strongly statistically related to climatic variables such as temperature and precipitation, and consistently so across space and time. These observations are consistent with a causal link between the number of species that occur in a given region and its climate. Although dozens of hypotheses have been proposed, the main mechanisms underlying this pattern remain largely unresolved. And, few ecological studies have attempted to identify regularities in the individual species distributions that make up the richness–climate relation

One central question in ecology is why some areas have many species and others have few. Many explanations have been proposed and often the forces that drive species richness are context-dependent.

Biotic drivers are most commonly described in terms as top-down and bottom-up effects while abiotic drivers are commonly described in terms of climate and habitat disturbance. The objective of this thesis is to determine how these drivers affect species richness in terrestrial ecosystems. To test this I examine

However, SARs have consistently over-estimated species losses resulting from conversion of natural habitat to human-dominated land covers.
