{"title":"From pairwise interactions to community structure: A trait-based approach to inferring assembly mechanisms across spatial scales","authors":"Vinicius Augusto Galvão Bastazini","doi":"10.1111/1365-2435.70138","DOIUrl":"10.1111/1365-2435.70138","url":null,"abstract":"<p>One of the most fundamental goals of ecology is to understand the mechanisms that underpin and maintain variation in biological diversity in ecological communities (Pavoine & Bonsall, <span>2011</span>; Scheiner & Willig, <span>2008</span>). This is a challenging and daunting task, given that ecological communities are dynamic systems influenced by processes operating at various spatial and temporal scales (Gianuca et al., <span>2013</span>). To identify and explain these mechanisms, ecologists have developed and employed a range of methodological approaches (Cornell & Lawton, <span>1992</span>). These approaches can be positioned along a ‘conceptual continuum’, reflecting the varying importance attributed to ecological interactions in structuring communities (Cornell & Lawton, <span>1992</span>). At one end of the spectrum, communities are primarily viewed as structured by local interactions among species, such as trophic interactions, facilitation and competition (Cottenie & De Meester, <span>2004</span>; Gianuca et al., <span>2013</span>; Godoy et al., <span>2024</span>). At the opposite end, emphasis is placed on processes like dispersal limitation and environmental filtering, which affect community composition by determining which species from the regional pool can reach, establish themselves and persist in a particular habitat patch (Cottenie & De Meester, <span>2004</span>; Gianuca et al., <span>2013</span>). Taken together, these approaches suggest that ecological communities result from a series of concurrent, or sometimes complementary, processes that determine the co-occurrence of species (Cottenie & De Meester, <span>2004</span>; Gianuca et al., <span>2013</span>; Godoy et al., <span>2024</span>; Pavoine & Bonsall, <span>2011</span>).</p><p>To date, most approaches to disentangle different mechanisms of community assembly have relied on whole-community data, taking a temporal ‘snapshot’ of the community composition and using the degree of trait and phylogenetic dispersion among species to infer underlying processes (e.g. Dias et al., <span>2020</span>; Pausas & Verdú, <span>2010</span>; Webb et al., <span>2002</span>)—often without considering species interactions explicitly. Mechanisms such as limiting similarity and habitat filtering are tested by examining patterns of trait and phylogenetic similarity within communities relative to a regional species pool (Dias et al., <span>2020</span>; Mittelbach & McGill, <span>2019</span>; Pausas & Verdú, <span>2010</span>). The basic assumption is that habitat filtering selects species with similar trait values suited to local environmental conditions, leading to trait clustering and, depending on whether the trait is phylogenetically conserved or convergent, either phylogenetic clustering (if traits are conserved) or variable phylogenetic structure (if traits are convergent). In contrast, limiting similarity is driven by competition and excludes ","PeriodicalId":172,"journal":{"name":"Functional Ecology","volume":"39 9","pages":"2174-2176"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1365-2435.70138","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144929718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
