For example, &lt;i&gt;Sphagnum&lt;/i&gt; shows a clear post-glacial expansion pattern. Richness was high in times of high habitat diversity. Our data reveal a turnover from biological traits characteristic of an r-strategy (colonists/short-lived, small size, monoicous, long sporophyte season, small spores) during the glacial towards a K-strategy (long-lived, large size, dioicous, short sporophyte season, large spores) during the Holocene.

Ecological theory predicts that biotic interactions could lead to either divergence in the event of niche partitioning or convergence through the exclusion of competitively inferior species, but most macroecological studies attribute the latter to environmental influences. Here, we investigated the relative importance of these two opposing mechanisms across broad spatial gradients. We hypothesised stronger signals of: (&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;) convergence at high latitude owing to ecological generalism and (&lt;i&gt;ii&lt;/i&gt;) divergence at low latitudes owing to specialisation.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Major Taxa Studied&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Reef-associated bony fishes.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Location&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Global.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Time Period&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;2006–2019.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;We used a global dataset on marine reef fish assemblages comprising 2476 species at 3325 sites to disentangle the biotic drivers of community assembly across &gt; 100° of latitude.

Each model incorporated different combinations of speciation and dispersal rates, and the phylogenetic structures of its communities were assessed using standardised effect sizes of Mean Phylogenetic Distances (SES&lt;sub&gt;MPD&lt;/sub&gt;). We evaluated the SES&lt;sub&gt;MPD&lt;/sub&gt; in response to varying degrees of speciation and dispersal rates, and its relationship with community isolation, using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) models.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Increased speciation rates and reduced rates both contribute to higher phylogenetic clustering, leading to a higher co-occurrence of closely related species. While both variables independently influence phylogenetic structure, the extent of phylogenetic clustering is primarily determined by the increased ratio between speciation and dispersal rates. This trend toward phylogenetic clustering persisted even at smaller scales, albeit with reduced intensity. Clustering was more pronounced in isolated communities, with the effects intensifying based on the combination of speciation and dispersal rates.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Main Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Our study demonstrates that biogeographical dynamics can drive strong phylogenetic structures even in the absence of niche processes. Specifically, in situ speciation rates can enhance phylogenetic clustering by continuously adding species to community pools, such as through the exploitation of novel ecological opportunities. However, the extent of this clustering largely depends on the degree of geographical isolation and dispersal limitations experienced by the radiating lineages, which influence biotic interchange and phylogenetic homogenisation among community comp","PeriodicalId":15299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biogeography","volume":"52 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
