A Spatial Signal of Niche Differentiation in Tropical Forests
Am Nat. 2024 Apr;203(4):445-457. doi: 10.1086/729218. Epub 2024 Feb 9.ABSTRACTAbstractExplaining diversity in tropical forests remains a challenge in community ecology. Theory tells us that species differences can stabilize communities by reducing competition, while species similarities can promote diversity by reducing fitness differences and thus prolonging the time to competitive exclusion. Combined, these processes may lead to clustering of species such that species are niche differentiated across clusters and share a niche within each cluster. Here, we characterize this partial niche differentiation in a tropical fore...
