Comparison between Hypothesis 4 simulations (superspreading) and neutral predictions for k values of 1, 0.5, and 0.1 (a, b, and c respectively). The 95% envelope for the relative abundance distributions generated by 500 simulations is shown in red, and the 95% envelope for predictions under neutral theory in blue. Log-scaled absolute abundance is shown on the y-axis and ranked abundance on the x-axis (species ranked in order of decreasing abundance). Inset graphs show the number of individuals that give rise to different numbers of offspring, averaged over all simulations, for each value of k
