Spatial and taxonomic correlates of species and species trait 1 assemblages in soil invertebrate communities
1 Whether dispersal limitation and phylogenetic conservatism influence soil species 2 assemblages is still a debated question. We hypothesized that spatial and phylogenetic 3 patterns influence communities in a hump-backed fashion, maximizing their impact at 4 intermediate spatial and phylogenetic distances. Species-environment relationships are blurred 5 by dispersal limitation and restricted ...

Patterns of aggregation of species or individuals may result from combinations of interspecifi c interactions such as competition, facilitation, or apparent facilitation, as well as from equivalent responses to environmental factors. Host – parasite systems are ideal for the investigation of mechanisms that structure assemblages. Interspecifi c aggregation is documented for multiple groups that...

متن کاملPatterns of bird invasion are consistent with environmental filtering
Predicting invasion potential has global signifi cance for managing ecosystems as well as important theoretical implications for understanding community assembly. Phylogenetic relationships of introduced species to the extant community may be predictive of establishment success because of the opposing forces of competition/shared enemies (which should limit invasions by close relatives) versus ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Matrix Size on Statistical Properties of Co-Occurrence and Limiting Similarity Null Models
Null models exploring species co-occurrence and trait-based limiting similarity are increasingly used to explore the influence of competition on community assembly; however, assessments of common models have not thoroughly explored the influence of variation in matrix size on error rates, in spite of the fact that studies have explored community matrices that vary considerably in size. To deter...
