Marine Biology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This paper presents a method of investigating the distributional pattern of a biological population, using a technique of simulation. The method consists of the comparison of the “empirical” frequency curve of a population, obtained using the “Method of Quadrats”, with a “simulated” one, since the pattern of the simulated curve depends on the simulated distribution. An example is given.
