  abstract = {{T}he spatially implicit neutral model ({SINM}) of {S}. {P}. {H}ubbell predicts species' abundance distributions at two levels: local communities where extinction balances immigration, characterized by the immigration number {I}, and the metacommunity, a source pool of migrants where speciation balances extinction. {P}reviously, a plot's {I} was estimated from its species abundance distribution. {H}ere, we relate neutral theory to the additive partitioning of species diversity and calculate the immigration rate into different plots from the variation in species composition among them. {W}e revisit the {G}({ST}) statistic of population genetics to introduce a new version, {G}({ST})(k), conditional on each community sample k. {W}e derive an analytical expectation of {G}({ST})(k) as a function of the local immigration number, {I}(k), under a generalized version of the {SINM}, which allows the pool of migrants to deviate from the large-scale speciation-extinction balance. {S}imulations and field data suggest that {G}({ST})(k) provides reasonable estimates of immigration numbers, which were compared with the results from alternative likelihood-based estimations.},
