DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1049
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Evolutionary and biogeographic history, including past environmental change and diversification processes, are likely to have influenced the expansion, migration, and extinction of populations, creating evolutionary legacy effects that influence regional species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3126
Abstract: Abstract Theory predicts deterministic and stochastic factors will contribute to community assembly in different ways: Environmental filters should regulate those species that establish in a particular area resulting in the ecological requirements of species being… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3777
Abstract: Abstract Underground community assemblies have not been studied well compared with aboveground communities, despite their importance for our understanding of whole ecosystems. To investigate underground community assembly over evolutionary timescales, we examined terrestrial earthworm communities… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3984
Abstract: Abstract The insular limestone karsts of northern Vietnam harbor a very rich biodiversity. Many taxa are strongly associated with these environments, and individual species communities can differ considerably among karst areas. The exact processes that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4868
Abstract: Abstract Identifying the influence of stochastic processes and of deterministic processes, such as dispersal of individuals of different species and trait‐based environmental filtering, has long been a challenge in studies of community assembly. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70571
Abstract: ABSTRACT Grasslands converted to agricultural land use can be reestablished by sowing seeds of native species and temporal dynamics of diversity under altered climate can inform community assembly in the context of global change. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71428
Abstract: ABSTRACT The effect of founders (the potential influence of initially colonizing species on the composition, functionality, and stability of communities) plays a crucial role in community assembly; many experimental studies on priority effects or artificially… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71616
Abstract: ABSTRACT Taxonomic diversity is insufficient to fully characterize species co‐existence in forest ecosystems. Incorporating trait‐based and phylogenetic data into studies of communities provides insight into the mechanisms by which coexistence emerges and is maintained in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8882
Abstract: Abstract The mechanisms governing community assembly is fundamental to ecological restoration and clarification of the assembly processes associated with severe disturbances (characterized by no biological legacy and serious environmental problems) is essential. However, a systematic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9012
Abstract: Abstract Heterogeneity in riverine habitats acts as a template for species evolution that influences river communities at different spatio‐temporal scales. Although birds are conspicuous elements of these communities, the roles of phylogeny, functional traits, and… read more here.
