Description
Summary:Concentration curves and a set of summary statistics called have-statistics are useful in ecological analyses of dominance and evenness among individuals in reproductive success. This approach complements, but does not replace, approaches based on frequency distributions and standard summary statistics. Examples are drawn from studies of bullfrogs, red deer, elephant seals, sculpins, fruit flies, and rice weevils, as well as from some theoretical models similar to the Wright-Fisher model of evolutionary genetics.
