Adding energy gradients and long‐distance dispersal to a neutral model improves predictions of Madagascan bird diversity

Abstract Macroecological patterns are likely the result of both stochastically neutral mechanisms and deterministic differences between species. In Madagascar, the simplest stochastically neutral hypothesis – the mid‐domain effects (MDE) hypothesis – has already been rejected. However, rejecting the...
