Answer:
abundance and occurrence are linearly related
Explanation:
The core-satellite hypothesis states that several species will be widespread and several species will be scarce. This is based on the assumption or prediction that species habitation is distributed bimodally.
Hence, according to the core-satellite hypothesis, it is believed that "abundance and occurrence are linearly related."
As there is an increase in the level or number of species, the chance of occurrence or seeing their species increases.
