The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology.
The increasing availability of phylogenetic data, computing power and informatics tools has facilitated a rapid expansion of studies that apply phylogenetic data and methods to community ecology. Several key areas are reviewed in which phylogenetic information helps to resolve long-standing controversies in community ecology, challenges previous assumptions, and opens new areas of investigation...
متن کاملAn emerging synthesis between community ecology and evolutionary biology.
A synthesis between community ecology and evolutionary biology is emerging that identifies how genetic variation and evolution within one species can shape the ecological properties of entire communities and, in turn, how community context can govern evolutionary processes and patterns. This synthesis incorporates research on the ecology and evolution within communities over short timescales (c...
متن کاملSpecial Issue Integrating Phylogenies into Community Ecology
Global patterns in species richness have resisted explanation since they first caught the attention of ecologists in the 1960s. The failure of ecology to fully integrate the diversity issue into its core of accepted wisdom derives from an inappropriate concept of community and the rejection of history and region as formative contexts for ecological systems. Traditionally, ecologists have held t...

Become a ruthless, critical editor create multiple drafts based on thoughtful editing. Start with an outline/list – which you should think about critically after you think you have it all down. Then revise that list to improve the logical flow, and add or remove some points. Use your first draft to write all/any ideas you have. The second draft should be a small part of the first draf...
متن کاملCommunity Ecology
Competition and facilitation are both considered major factors affecting the structure of plant assemblages, yet few studies have quantified positive, negative, and net effects simultaneously. In this study, we investigated the positive, negative, and net effects of tree saplings on the encroachment of two tree species, Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflora), in...
