Since then there has been a proliferation of studies trying to promote, refute or test the idea that there are sets of constraints (rules) on community formation and maintenance (assembly). This timely volume brings together carefully selected contributions which examine the question of the existence and nature of assembly rules with some rigour and in some detail, using both theoretical and empirical approaches in a variety of systems. The result is a balanced treatment which encompasses a wide range of topics within ecology including competition and coexistence, conservation and biodiversity, niche theory, and biogeography. As such it provides much to interest a broad audience of ecologists, while also making an important contribution to the study of community ecology in particular. 606 $aBiotic communities 615 0$aBiotic communities. 676 $a577.8/2 702 $aWeiher$b Evan$f1961- 702 $aKeddy$b Paul A.$f1953- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449695303321 996 $aEcological assembly rules$92447447 997 $aUNINA
