Diversity and productivity peak at intermediate dispersal rate in evolving metacommunities.
Positive relationships between species diversity and productivity have been reported for a number of ecosystems. Theoretical and experimental studies have attempted to determine the mechanisms that generate this pattern over short timescales, but little attention has been given to the problem of und...
