      A classic study lead by Jeannine Cavender-Bares (Cavender-Bares et al. 2004) showed that coexisting oak trees in Florida tend to be more functionally similar and more phylogenetically diverse compared to a random model. ...

    • Functional Community Assembly is Increasingly Deterministic at Larger Spatial Grain Sizes 

      Weiher, Evan R.; Wilke, Hayden; Susen, McKayla; Schafer, Tabitha M.; O'Keefe, Kerry; Nelsen, Karlee; Mares, Eryn; Ishihara, Charles; Graf, Kacie; Carlson, Elizabeth; Petersen, Molly (2018-04)
      Community assembly is the result of ecological selection processes, dispersal processes, and random drift processes (Vellend 2010). Selection processes can cause coexisting species to be more similar or more different ...
