主 题:alien species community phylogenetics Darwin’s naturalization hypothesis spatial scale phylogenetic beta diversity
摘 要:Aims Darwin’s naturalization hypothesis proposes that successfully established alien species are less closely related to native species due to differences in their ecological *** have provided support both for and against this *** reason for this is the tendency for phylogenetic clustering between aliens and natives at broad spatial scales with overdispersion at fine ***,little is known about how the phylogenetic relatedness of alien species alters the phylogenetic structure of the communities they invade,and at which spatial scales effects may ***,we examine if invaded understorey plant communities,*** both native and alien taxa,are phylogenetically clustered or overdispersed,how relatedness changes with spatial scale and how aliens affect phylogenetic patterns in understorey *** Field surveys were conducted in dry forest understorey communities in south-east Australia at five spatial scales(1,20,500,1500 and 4500 m2).Standardized effect sizes of two metrics were used to quantify phylogenetic relatedness between communities and their alien and native subcommunities,and to examine how phylogenetic patterns change with spatial scale:(i)mean pairwise distance and(ii)mean nearest taxon distance(MNTD).Important Findings Aliens were closely related to each other,and this relatedness tended to increase with *** species and the full community exhibited either no clear pattern of relatedness with increasing spatial scale or were no different from *** intermediate spatial scales(20-500 m2),the whole community tended towards random whereas the natives were strongly overdispersed and the alien subcommunity strongly *** suggests that invasion by closely related aliens shifts community phylogenetic structure from overdispersed towards *** and natives were distantly related across spatial scales,supporting Darwin’s naturalization hypothesis,but only when phylogenetic distance
