Clustering of species with similar niches or traits occurs in communities, but the mechanisms behind this pattern are still unclear. In the emergent neutrality model, species with similar niches and competitive ability self‐organise into clusters. In the hidden‐niche model, unaccounted‐for niche differences stabilise coexistence within clusters. Finally, clustering may occur through alliances of species...
Many developing countries harbour large numbers of species that face little‐understood, gradual changes in their environment, including chronic anthropogenic disturbance (CAD), a high frequency but low intensity form of disturbance. These countries also lack the resources to study each species, so conservation practices have been generalized, assuming that complete taxonomic groups may be managed...
