    • Finite size scaling in the local abundances of geographic populations 
      Abades, Sebastián R.; Marquet, Pablo A. (2011)
      We analyzed the statistical distribution of intra-specifi c local abundances for a set North American breeding bird species. We constructed frequency plots for every species and found that they showed long-tail power-law ...
    • Scaling and power-laws in ecological systems 
      Marquet, Pablo A.; Quiñones, Renato A.; Abades, Sebastián R.; Labra, Fabio A.; Tognelli, Marcelo F.; Arim, Matías; Rivadeneira, Marcelo (COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2005-05)
      Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling relationships related to energy ...
    • Spread dynamics of invasive species 
      Arim, Matías; Abades, Sebastián R.; Neill, Paula E.; Lima, Mauricio; Marquet, Pablo A. (NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2006-01-10)
      Species invasions are a principal component of global change, causing large losses in biodiversity as well as economic damage. Invasion theory attempts to understand and predict invasion success and patterns of spread. ...
