“…Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic distribution patterns provide complementary approaches to detecting and untangling the mechanisms responsible for community assembly and are widely used for this purpose (e.g., Cadotte, Albert, & Walker, ; Huang, Stephens, & Gittleman, ; Monnet et al., ; Webb et al., ). However, few studies have so far integrated all three facets of biodiversity (but see e.g., Corbelli et al., ; Devictor et al., ; Monnet et al., ). Bird community assembly studies based on functional or/and phylogenetic aspect have tended to pay close attention to some specific bird families with high species diversity, such as Trochilidae, Thamnophilidae, and Parulidae (e.g., G贸mez, Bravo, Brumfield, Tello, & Cadena, ; Graham, Parra, Rahbek, & McGuire, ; Lovette & Hochachka, ).…”
