DISTRIBUCIÓN Y ESTIMACIÓN DEL TAMAÑO DE LA POBLACIÓN A PARTIR DE LA DENSIDAD

To study the spatial distribution of individuals in a population, it is necessary to keep in mind the space conditions habitable by the organisms, since according to this two behaviors can be observed: a) When organisms are confined to specific habitable sites, for example, caterpillars on a plant stem, ectoparasitic mites on the body of a host, terrestrial isopods under stones or fallen logs, etc., the space is said to be habitable is DISCONTINUOUS or DISCRETE (Maciel-Mata et al., 2015). b) When the entire habitat offers appropriate conditions for the presence of organisms, for example, edaphic micro arthropods, plankton in fresh water, rodents in a grassland, etc., the habitable space is considered CONTINUOUS (Maciel-Mata et al., 2015). This data set helps to know the type of distribution by estimating the size of two simulated populations, uses quadrants, statistical tests, and extrapolation of results to determine the distribution of organisms and evaluate the estimation of population size as an analysis tool in ecological restoration.

为研究种群内个体的空间分布格局，需明确生物可栖息的空间条件——基于该条件可观测到两类分布行为：a) 当生物被局限于特定可栖息位点时，例如植物茎秆上的毛虫、宿主体表的外寄生螨（ectoparasitic mites）、石块或倒木下方的陆生等足类动物等，此时的栖息空间被定义为不连续（DISCONTINUOUS）或离散（DISCRETE）的（Maciel-Mata等人，2015）。b) 当整个生境均为生物提供适宜生存条件时，例如土壤微节肢动物（edaphic micro arthropods）、淡水浮游生物、草原生境中的啮齿动物等，则该栖息空间被视为连续（CONTINUOUS）的（Maciel-Mata等人，2015）。本数据集通过估算两类模拟种群的种群规模，结合样方（quadrant）设置、统计检验与结果外推，用以确定生物的空间分布类型，并评估将种群规模估算作为生态修复研究分析工具的应用效果。
