I would like to choose a model to use to describe a species area relationshipspecies area relationship based on plant species richness data that I have collected. Rather than choosing the power model a priori, I am considering all options (eg. exponential, untransformed, etc).

Does anyone know of any good recent synthesis work on how to choose the best model? Of particular interest are the assumptions behind each model, and the ecological mechanisms that each model might imply.
