Ricklefs and Renner (Reports, 27 January 2012, p. 464) showed correlations of species richness and individual abundance within families across continents and claimed that neutral theory predicts no such correlation. However, they did not substantiate this claim quantitatively with a neutral model. Here, we show that neutral theory can be consistent with these correlations and, consequently, that the correlations alone cannot reject neutrality.
里克莱夫斯和雷纳（Reports, 27 January 2012, p. 464）展示了在各大洲范围内，科内物种丰富度和个体丰度的相关性，并声称中性理论预测不存在这种相关性。然而，他们并没有用中性模型对此进行定量证实。在这里，我们表明中性理论可以与这些相关性一致，因此，仅仅相关性并不能否定中性理论。
