The effects of ecological selection on species diversity and trait distribution: predictions and an empirical test.

Ecology - 1 Jan 2022

DeMalach Niv, Ke Po-Ju, Fukami Tadashi

Abstract excerpt

Ecological selection is a major driver of community assembly. Selection is classified as stabilizing when species with intermediate trait values gain the highest reproductive success, whereas selection is considered directional when fitness is highest for species with extreme trait values. Previous studies have investigated the effects of different selection types on trait distribution, but the effects of...
