Beta Diversity of Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic Benthic Communities Reveals a Major Role of Stochastic Assembly Processes

Community assembly is the result of both, deterministic and stochastic processes. The former encompasses niche-based local-scale mechanisms such as environmental filtering and biotic interactions; the latter includes ecological drift, probabilistic coloni This study was financially supported by FOND...

Summary:Community assembly is the result of both, deterministic and stochastic processes. The former encompasses niche-based local-scale mechanisms such as environmental filtering and biotic interactions; the latter includes ecological drift, probabilistic coloni This study was financially supported by FONDAP grant #15150003, Centro de Investigacion en Dinamica de Ecosistemas Marinos de Altas Latitudes (IDEAL). IgG was financially supported by doctoral scholarship #72160109 (Becas Chile) granted by the Agencia Nac FONDECYT REGULAR Proyectos de Investigación FONDAP [15150003]; Centro de Investigacion en Dinamica de Ecosistemas Marinos de Altas Latitudes (IDEAL); Agencia Nacional de investigacion y Desarrollo (ANID) [72160109]; FONDECYT [1190529, 1181300, 1201069] wos 8
