  • Density Dependence Explains Tree Species Abundance and Diversity in Tropical Forests 
    Volkov, Igor; Banavar, Jayanth R.; He, Fangliang; Hubbell, Stephen P.; Maritan, Amos (2005)
  • Incipient criticality in ecological communities 
    Zillio, Tommaso; Banavar, Jayanth R.; Green, Jessica L.; Harte, John; Maritan, Amos (2008)
    In ecology, there have been attempts to establish links between the relative species abundance (RSA), the fraction of species in a community with a given abundance, and a power-law form of the species area relationship ...
  • Inferring species interactions in tropical forests 
    Volkov, Igor; Banavar, Jayanth R.; Hubbell, Stephen P.; Maritan, Amos (2009)
    We present 2 distinct and independent approaches to deduce the effective interaction strengths between species and apply it to the 20 most abundant species in the long-term 50-ha plot on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. The ...
  • Neutral theory (communication arising): The stability of forest biodiversity 
    Volkov, Igor; Banavar, Jayanth R.; Maritan, Amos; Hubbell, Stephen P. (2004)
    The unified neutral theory of biodiversity and biogeography1 provides a dynamic null hypothesis for the assembly of natural communities. It is also useful for understanding the influence of speciation, extinction, dispersal ...
  • Neutral Theory and Relative Species Abundance in Ecology 
    Volkov, Igor; Banavar, Jayanth R.; Hubbell, Stephen P.; Maritan, Amos (2003)
  • Patterns of relative species abundance in rainforests and coral reefs 
    Volkov, Igor; Banavar, Jayanth R.; Hubbell, Stephen P.; Maritan, Amos (2007)
    A formidable many-body problem in ecology is to understand the complex of factors controlling patterns of relative species abundance (RSA) in communities of interacting species. Unlike many problems in physics, the nature ...
  • Self-similarity and scaling in forest communities 
    Simini, Filippo; Anfodillo, Tommaso; Carrer, Marco; Banavar, Jayanth R.; Maritan, Amos (2010)
    Ecological communities exhibit pervasive patterns and interrelationships between size, abundance, and the availability of resources. We use scaling ideas to develop a unified, model-independent framework for understanding ...
