Simple models for distributions

Simple models for distributions

         
In my last post, I said that ecology is fundamentally the study of the distribution and abundance of living things. On that last post, I introduced a very simple model for abundance, so it was just logical to follow-up with an entry on simple models for distribution. I will define distribution as presence/absence of the target species on a given site. I am going to follow the structure of the previous entry to make any comparisons easy.
