Improved detection of changes in species richness in high-diversity microbial communities
Amy Willis, John Bunge, Thea Whitman
High throughput sequencing (HTS) continues to expand our understanding of microbial communities, despite insufficient sequencing depths to detect all rare taxa. These low abundance…
Inference for changes in biodiversity
Amy Willis, John Bunge, Thea Whitman
We wish to formally test for changes in the taxonomic diversity of a community, especially in the presence of high latent diversity. Drawing on the meta-analysis literature, we con…
Estimating Diversity via Frequency Ratios
A. Willis, J. Bunge
We wish to estimate the total number of classes in a population based on sample counts, especially in the presence of high latent diversity. Drawing on probability theory that char…
Population size estimation based upon ratios of recapture probabilities
Irene Rocchetti, John Bunge, Dankmar Böhning
Estimating the size of an elusive target population is of prominent interest in many areas in the life and social sciences. Our aim is to provide an efficient and workable method t…
