摘要: How are communities organized? To what extent species evenly spread out in niche/resource space? Do clusters of functionally similar exist? If so, such guilds merely a result built-in design constraints on consumer and/or natural gaps resource Or, can guild structure evolve as means reducing diffuse competition? (Guilds presumably arenas intense interspecific competition with strong interactions within but weak between members different guilds. A community without would have greater than one structure.) more diverse simpler communities? What the effects assembly, and diversity Guild may actually foster by competitive mutualisms arising from indirect that belong to
