Abstract

An age-old pursuit of biologists has been to relate the distribution and abundance of organisms to some aspect of their environment. Factors influencing their evolution, reproductive success, dispersal and migration, and other aspects of their ecology have been investigated. These pursuits have ranged from qualitative descriptions of plant and animal distributions and associations to quantitative statistical analyses of the interrelationships of plants, animals, and their environment.
