Co‐occurrence and phylogenetic distance in communities of mammalian ectoparasites: limiting similarity versus environmental filtering

2013-06-21

Abstract excerpt

Similarity between species plays a key role in the processes governing community assembly. The co‐occurrence of highly similar species may be unlikely if their similar needs lead to intense competition (limiting similarity). On the other hand, persistence in a particular habitat may require certain traits, such that communities end up consisting of species sharing the same traits (environmental filtering). Relativ...
