Population ecology

the empirical relation in which the variance of population counts rises as a power of the mean, describing spatial aggregation.

In population ecology, Taylor's power law refers to the empirical relation in which the variance of population counts rises as a power of the mean, describing spatial aggregation. This meaning comes from Taylor (1961) in Nature.[1]
