Slight differences among individuals and the unified neutral theory of biodiversity.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Nov 2004

Fuentes Marcelino

Abstract excerpt

The unified neutral theory of biodiversity provides a very simple and counterintuitive explanation of species diversity patterns. By specifying speciation, community size and dispersal, and completely ignoring differences among individual organisms and species, it generates biodiversity patterns...
