摘要: In its original definition, guild refers to a group of syntopic organisms using given resource in similar way, without regard their taxonomic relationships. I contend that this term is abused by researchers define guilds a-priori manner (any syntopic, taxonomically related organisms, i.e., an assemblage), and misused a-posteriori (subgroups within assemblages). discuss the consequences these practices relationship between structure competition.
