Journal ArticleDOI
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology
TL;DR: Several key areas are reviewed in which phylogenetic information helps to resolve long-standing controversies in community ecology, challenges previous assumptions, and opens new areas of investigation.

TL;DR: The finding that Amazonia is dominated by just 227 tree species implies that most biogeochemical cycling in the world’s largest tropical forest is performed by a tiny sliver of its diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herbivores promote habitat specialization by trees in Amazonian forests.
TL;DR: Habitat specialization in this system results from an interaction of herbivore pressure with soil type when protected from herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic beta diversity: linking ecological and evolutionary processes across space in time
TL;DR: Phylogenetic beta diversity (phylobetadiversity) measures the phylogenetic distance among communities and as such allows to connect local processes, such as biotic interactions and environmental filtering, with more regional processes including trait evolution and speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Growth–Defense Trade‐Off And Habitat Specialization By Plants In Amazonian Forests
Paul V. A. Fine,Paul V. A. Fine,Paul V. A. Fine,Zachariah Miller,Italo Mesones,Sebastian Irazuzta,Heidi M. Appel,M. Henry H. Stevens,Ilari E. Sääksjärvi,Jack C. Schultz,Phyllis D. Coley +10 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the growth-defense trade-off is universal and provides an important mechanism by which herbivores govern plant distribution patterns across resource gradients, causing white-sand and clay specialists to evolve divergent strategies.
