Abstract: The present study proposes to reconcile the different spatial and temporal scales of regional species production and local constraint on species richness. Although interactions between populations rapidly achieve equilibrium and limit membership in ecological communities locally, these interactions occur over heterogeneous environments within large regions, where the populations of species are stably regulated through competition and habitat selection. Consequently, exclusion of species from a region depends o… Show more

“…Parallel issues regarding how patterns change with spatial scale have long been a focus of research on diversity; e.g. the distinction between alpha, beta and gamma diversity (MacArthur & Wilson 1967;Ricklefs 2004 The bootstrapped standard deviation (1000 bootstraps) of biomass change estimates on BCI is insensitive to the spatial grain over which bootstrapping is done, as expected given the lack of spatial structure at these scales.…”

“…Besides their use in parameter estimation, the probability density functions are crucial for hypothesis testing, e.g., in testing whether rates have been constant or variable over time (Huelsenbeck and Rannala, 1997;Rabosky, 2006). The probability density function of a reconstructed tree under the reconstructed evolutionary process has been derived under various scenarios by different authors (Nee et al, 1994;Rabosky, 2006;Morlon et al, 2011;Stadler, 2011;Etienne et al, 2012) and has been applied in several studies (for reviews see Ricklefs (2004), Nee (2006), Ricklefs (2007) and Pyron and Burbrink (2013)). However, it remains challenging to compare these probability density functions because they differ in their notation, derivation and conditioning, e.g., conditioning on survival of the process or conditioning on obtaining exactly n species (Stadler, 2013).…”

“…Evolutionary history and idiosyncrasies in local communities are additional inherent sources of variability, although ecosystem studies often overlook micro-and macroevolutionary aspects or variation within species. However, historical evolutionary explanations for nutrient cycles do not appear to be incompatible with environmental determinism because the tolerance to local physical/ecological conditions is an evolved property of populations and clades (Ricklefs 2004). Importantly, clades and their intrinsic functional roles are not distributed randomly along environmental gradients (Srivastava et al 2012).…”
