Stochastic Abundance Models: With Emphasis on Biological Communities and Species Diversity

---

This monograph develops stochastic models for describing and analyzing populations composed of a large number of classes, with primary emphasis on biological communities and species diversity. The book introduces both fixed and random population models and examines sampling theory, abundance distributions, and indices of diversity and equitability. Classical models such as Fisher’s logarithmic series, the negative binomial, lognormal, and geometric series are treated in detail, together with ecological interpretations and real-world applications. The work is based on the author’s Oxford University thesis and is intended for statisticians, biometricians, and ecologists with a background in probability theory
