Problem: In "Reconciliation Ecology and Species Diversity," species-area curves are deduced using four assumptions. Which of the following include those assumptions? (Select all that apply.)
A. The geographical range of each species is independent.
B. The home range of species with larger abundances is discounted.
C. The larger the species' abundance varies significantly across number of individuals identified, the greater the number of its own range, being relatively scarce more often than of species in the sample.
D. Determining the number of species in an area requires species have a minimum abundance.
E. Species vary in abundance with respect to each other.
