An empirical power comparison of univariate goodness-of-fit tests for normality (2010, unknown): “[22–24].”
On the relation between temporal variability and persistence time in animal populations (2003, unknown): “The alternative origin of the ‘more time, more variation’ effect, uncorrelated population abundance with a ‘heavy-tailed’ probability form (Mandelbrot 1999), was found to be highly unlikely for ecological populations (Halley & Inchausti 2002).”
The lognormal distribution is not an appropriate null hypothesis for the species–abundance distribution (2005, background): “Halley & Inchausti (2002) found that about half of the 544 population time series, all more than 30 years long, they examined appeared lognormal, although they did not allow for autocorrelation or trends in the data.”
