Chao’s lower bound estimator and the size of the Pleiades

In this note we would like to point out that the lower bound estimator of the frequency of hidden units in a target population, developed by Chao in ecology, was developed independently in astro-physics and has been used to estimate the size of flare stars in the Pleiades.
