Ecology: Neutral theory tested by birds
Annette Ostling1
Abstract
A continental-scale analysis of habitat and bird distribution in South America provides the latest challenge for neutral theory — a controversial idea in ecology about what determines the make-up of communities.
How do different species end up living together in communities? Do they coexist only when each finds a different niche, or simply when they happen to disperse to the same habitable region?
