Experiments and the Rank Abundance Distribution (Slides from 2012 Ecological Society of America Conference)

This is the slide deck from my presentation at the Ecological Society of America annual meeting on 7 August 2012. The work was in prep when presented and explores the drivers of the rank abundance distribution, a well-studied macroecological pattern, in disturbed or manipulated terrestrial animal communities. I presented a very similar version of this talk at the Gordon Research Seminar on the Metabolic Basis of Ecology on 22 July 2012.
