All of these appeals and styles may be usedin combination,” McNeal’s research has discovered, “but kids tend to stick to one or two of each that prove most effective... for their ownparents.”

If we consider animals of 5–10 m inlength (e.g. elephants and whales), there are fewerthan 10 species that come into that size range.In the range of 1–5 m (e.g. horses and deer), thereare perhaps a few hundred. In the 0.5–1 m range(e.g. fox), there may be up to a thousand species,and rat‐sized organisms (0.1–0.5 m) could runto 10 000. This body‐size–abundance relationshipcontinues to hold as we move down the size range,so that at 0.005–0.01 m (ant‐sized), there could bearound a million species. But for smaller creatures(below 0.005 m, such as fleas, mites and smaller),the number of known species declines from thestraight‐line logarithmic relationship that holds athigher levels of size

f macroecology, the use of EOO as a measure of range size may be appropriate; however, AOO is a more appropriate measure when evaluating O–A relationships.
