TRANSCRIÇÃO
The size spectrum predicts abundance as a function of individual size. Size spectra research suggests strong similarity in the abundances of relatively small and large organisms from diverse ecosystems. Unlike traditional size abundance scaling re

This is a protocol to model the size spectrum (scaling relationship between individual mass and population density) for combined fish and invertebrate data from wadable streams and rivers. Methods include: field techniques to collect quantitative fish and invertebrate samples; lab methods to standardize the field data; and statistical data analysis.
