It is shown that in a large collection of Lepidoptera captured in Malaya the frequency of the number of species represented by different numbers of individuals fitted somewhat closely to a hyperbola type of curve, so long as only the rarer species were considered.
EcologyRobust Estimation of Population Size When Capture Probabilities Vary Among Animals
901 Citations1979Kenneth P. Burnham, W. Scott Overton
A model is given for multiple recapture studies on closed populations which allows capture probabilities to vary among individuals and a nonparametric estimation procedure for population size is given that is robust to moderate variations in individual capture probabilities which may occur in commonly used short—term livetrapping studies.

A model which allows capture probabilities to vary by individuals is introduced for multiple recapture studies on closed populations and it is shown that the capture frequencies are a sufficient statistic.

BiometrikaEstimating the number of unseen species: How many words did Shakespeare know?
451 Citations1976Bradley Efron, Ronald A. Thisted
The question considered is how many words he knew but did not use, and it is concluded that the models are equivalent to supposing that Shakespeare knew at least 35 000 more words.
