“…The New Caledonian biota exhibits a range of emblematic island attributes: for example, adaptive radiations (Barrabé et al, 2018;Pillon, Hopkins, Rigault, Jaffré, & Stacy, 2014), disharmony (Pillon et al, 2010) and ecological naïveté (Gérard, Jourdan, Millon, & Vidal, 2015). However, evidence for community-level features typical to F I G U R E 2 Variation in the accuracy of tree species assemblage predictions derived from four stacked species distribution models along an elevation gradient: red ='Environment', that is, accounting for environmental filtering only; blue = '+Dispersal', that is, accounting for environmental filtering and dispersal; green = '+Saturation', that is, accounting for environmental filtering and assemblage saturation; and black = 'All', that is, accounting for environmental filtering, dispersal and assemblage saturation.…”
