This $199,105 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research at the University of South Carolina to examine abundance-occupancy relationships for a large set of taxa using spatially replicated and standardized data from the National Ecological Observatory Network. The research aims to gauge the generality of relationships between species' local abundance and their geographic occupancy across diverse species groups and habitat types. It will estimate how these relationships depend on sampling procedures, environmental conditions, geographic distribution, taxonomic relationships, and the spatial distribution of sampled sites. Leveraging NEON data combined with theoretical metacommunity models, the research intends to expand theory underlying abundance-occupancy relationships and assess empirical support for them. Findings seek to further the understanding of these relationships and their connection to other macroecological patterns in nature. This award supports the Biological Sciences program's goal of increasing scientific knowledge in the biological sciences.
