Community Diversity: Relative Roles of Local and Regional Processes
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Observations suggest that regional and historical processes, as well as unique events and circumstances, profoundly influence local community structure and ecologists must broaden their concepts of community processes and incorporate data from systematics, biogeography, and paleontology into analyses of ecological patterns and tests of community theory.
