摘要：

Finite size scaling techniques are applied to ecology and are shown to predict relationships between power-law exponents as well as a connection between scaling phenomena in physics and ecology. The framework presented here ought to be useful for testing the hypothesis of scale invariance in the spatial distribution of species across a landscape.
