Keywords: abundance data, extrapolation, incidence data, interpolation, rarefaction, sample coverage, species richness, standardization Abstract: On the basis of the sampling data from an assemblage, Estimation of species richness (observed plus undetected) is statistically difficult especially for highly-diverse assemblages with many rare species. Simple counts of species richness in samples typically underestimate and strongly depend on sampling effort and sample completeness.
4 S N i 1 Ni be the total population size. The relative abundance of species i is pi = Ni/N, so that S i 1 pi 1.Here N, S, Ni, and pi represent the true but unknown underlying parameters of the assemblage. We distinguish between two sampling data structures.
