Identifying models of trait‐mediated community assembly using random forests and approximate Bayesian computation
Abstract Ecologists often use dispersion metrics and statistical hypothesis testing to infer processes of community formation such as environmental filtering, competitive exclusion, and neutral species assembly. These metrics have limited power in inferring assembly models because they rely on often...
