A test for declining diversity
2001
Solow, Andrew R. | Costello, Christopher J.
A common problem in applied ecology is to determine whether the diversity of a biological community declines along a gradient. This note describes a statistical test for such a decline. The test is based on a combination of nonlinear optimization and a parametric bootstrap. An illustration involving late Cretaceous dinosaur diversity is presented.
