Abstract
⺠We propose a model that links species density to hierarchical habitat structure. ⺠The model calculates density using body mass, habitat size, and fragmentation. ⺠The model reproduces many patterns observed in nature, e.g., species-abundance curves, trait discontinuities, or high specialists' variability.
