Ecological versatility and the assembly of multiple competitors: cautionary notes for assembly inferences
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-05-01)
The role of niche differences and competition is invoked when one finds coexisting species to be more dissimilar in trait composition than expected at random in community assembly studies. This approach has been questioned ...
Ecological versatility and the assembly of multiple competitors: cautionary notes for assembly inferences
(2018-05-01)
The role of niche differences and competition is invoked when one finds coexisting species to be more dissimilar in trait composition than expected at random in community assembly studies. This approach has been questioned ...
Phylogenies and traits provide distinct insights about the historical and contemporary assembly of aquatic insect communities
(2016-05-01)
The assumption that traits and phylogenies can be used as proxies of species niche has faced criticisms. Evidence suggested that phylogenic relatedness is a weak proxy of trait similarity. Moreover, different processes can ...
The community-level effect of light on germination timing in relation to seed mass: a source of regeneration niche differentiation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-11-01)
Within a community, species may germinate at different times so as to mitigate competition and to take advantage of different aspects of the seasonal environment (temporal niche differentiation). We illustrated a hypothesis ...
Intraspecific and interspecific trait variability in tadpole meta-communities from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest
(2019-04-01)
A better understanding of species coexistence and community dynamics may benefit from more insights on trait variability at the individual and species levels. Tadpole assemblages offer an excellent system to understand the ...
Metacommunity detectives: Confronting models based on niche and stochastic assembly scenarios with empirical data from a tropical stream network
(2018-01-01)
Metacommunity models predict that species richness and composition patterns in communities are determined predominantly by environmental selection and dispersal, with speciation and drift playing a lesser role. In the ...
