A new dynamic null model for phylogenetic community structure
Phylogenies are increasingly applied to identify the mechanisms structuring ecological communities but progress has been hindered by a reliance on statistical null models that ignore the historical process of community assembly. Here, we address this, and develop a dynamic null model of assembly by allopatric speciation, colonisation and local extinction. Incorporating these processes fundament...
متن کاملIslands, equilibria, and speciation.
Ricklefs and Bermingham (1) demonstrated that divergence times of Lesser Antillean avifauna from sister taxa do not follow the exponential distribution predicted with constant colonization and extinction rates (2). Their explanation for this observation was a lack of equilibrium due to historical changes in colonization or extinction rates. However, they mistakenly estimated species numbers fro...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of the endemic Philippine rodent Apomys (Muridae) and the dynamics of diversification in an oceanic archipelago
We analysed the phylogenetic relationships of ten of the 13 known species of the genus Apomys using DNA sequences from cytochrome b. Apomys, endemic to oceanic portions of the Philippine archipelago, diversified during the Pliocene as these oceanic islands arose de novo. Several of the speciation events probably took place on Luzon or Mindanao, the two largest, oldest, and most topographically ...
متن کاملDynamics of speciation and diversification in a metapopulation.
We develop a simple framework for modeling speciation and diversification as a continuous process of accumulation of genetic (or morphological) differences accompanied by species and subpopulation extinction and/or range expansion. This framework can be used to approach a number of questions such as species-area distribution, species-range size distribution, the rate of ecological turnover, asy...
متن کاملNeighborhood and habitat effects on vital rates: expansion of the Barred Owl in the Oregon coast ranges.
In this paper, we modify dynamic occupancy models developed for detection-nondetection data to allow for the dependence of local vital rates on neighborhood occupancy, where neighborhood is defined very flexibly. Such dependence of occupancy dynamics on the status of a relevant neighborhood is pervasive, yet frequently ignored. Our framework permits joint inference about the importance of neigh...
