Ecological Assembly Rules



Over two decades ago, Jared Diamond sparked interest in the concept of assembly rules for communities. Since then, numerous studies have emerged aiming to support, challenge, or evaluate the notion of constraints governing community formation and maintenance. This timely compilation brings together thoughtfully chosen contributions that rigorously examine the existence and characteristics of assembly rules using theoretical and empirical approaches across various systems. The result is a well-rounded exploration covering a wide array of ecological topics including competition, coexistence, conservation, biodiversity, niche theory, and biogeography. This volume is poised to captivate a diverse audience of ecologists and significantly advance the field of community ecology.
