The basis of this theory is a distribution called the \"J distribution.\" This distribution is a pure hyperbola and mathematically implied by the \"stochastic species hypothesis\" assigning equal probabilities of birth and death within the population of each species over varying periods of time. The J distribution in natural communities has strong empirical support resulting from a meta-study and strong theoretical support from a theorem that is mathematically implied by the stochastic species hypothesis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45238153478295,"sku":"9781138197022","price":15771.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138197022.webp?v=1769218809","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stochastic-communities-a-mathematical-theory-of-biodiversity-9781138197022","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
