A Metabolic Perspective Of Stochastic Community Assembly
TRENDS IN ECOLOGY & EVOLUTION(2021)
Abstract
Metabolism controls the pace of life, driving major ecological patterns. We propose that the scaling of metabolism with temperature influences neutral processes of community assembly by controlling population dynamics independently of species identities. This perspective provides new insights into the prevalence of niche and neutral processes through universal energetic constraints.
