Phylogenetic structure is determined by patch size in rock outcrop vegetation on an inselberg in the northern Amazon region

ABSTRACT Although inselbergs from around the world are iconic ecosystems, little is known on the underlying mechanisms of community assembly, especially in their characteristic patchy outcrop vegetation. Environmental constraints are expected to cause phylogenetic clustering when ecological niches a...
