Abstract

Sibly et al. (Reports, 22 July 2005, p. 607) recently estimated the relationship between population size and growth rate for 1780 time series of various species. I explain why some aspects of their analysis are questionable and, therefore, why their results and estimation procedure should be used with care.

摘要

西布利等人（《报告》，2005年7月22日，第607页）最近估算了1780个不同物种时间序列的种群规模与增长率之间的关系。我解释了他们分析的某些方面为何存在问题，以及因此为何应谨慎使用他们的结果和估算程序。
