What is A Strong Test of The Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology: Xiao Xiao, Daniel J. Mcglinn, and Ethan P. White about?
This study evaluates four major predictions of the maximum entropy theory of ecology (METE) using an unprecedented scale of data from 60 globally distributed forest communities. METE was able to capture most of the variation in the rank distribution of species abundance and individual size, but performed poorly in characterizing the size-density relationship and intraspecific distribution of individual size, predicting a negative correlation between size and abundance that is weak in natural communities.
