We present an analytically tractable variant of the voter model that provides a quantitatively accurate description of β diversity (two-point correlation function) in two tropical forests. The model exhibits novel scaling behavior that leads to links between ecological measures such as relative species abundance and the species-area relationship. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
