There is a no homework rule, but: 1. "abundance" + "poisson" seems to be an animal species abundance problem in a capture-recapture framework. 2. If so, check out packages 'Rcapture' and 'SPECIES'. They both implement several estimators, such as Burnham and Overton's jacknife or Chao's estimators. (The poisson model is a natural one). 3. Personally, I prefer the first, but this is because I'm more used to it and have never worked with 'SPECIES', just took a look at it.
