摘要: : The faunas of habitat islands, such as those produced by fragmentation formerly continuous habitats, are commonly made up nonrandom subsets the total available species pool. Faunas within an archipelago may form a nested series, with depauperate more species-rich faunas. pattern is seldom perfect: widespread be absent from otherwise rich (holes), and uncommon occur in (outliers). “nestedness” assemblage (its fit to “nested subset model”; Patterson & Atmar 1986) can measured summing holes outliers. The distributions boreal mammals birds among mountain ranges Great Basin western North America were analyzed this method Despite differences their derivation (mammalian thought relicts, isolated since Pleistocene; bird have probably experienced recurrent colonization throughout history] both groups show approximately equal (and highly significant) model. They differ, however, relative numbers outliers patterns. mammalian hole-rich; outlier-rich. The present-day composition result selective extinction originally richer existence these suggests that deterministic process: extinctions occurred same sequence region, despite wide variation rates Extinction has, fact, been less variable than rates. Resumen: Las de islas habitat, como las que se producen por la fragmentacion habitats anteriormente eran continuos, comunmente estan compuestas subjuegos no formados al mar apartir del conjunto especies disponibles. dentro un archwielago pueden formar una serie subconjunctos, con empobrecidas formadas partir subconjuntos mas ricas en El esquema casi nunca es perfecto: ampliamente diseminadas podrian estar ausentes (vacio), y ocurrir poco communes (excepciones). La “seriacion” faunas, (Patterson Atmar; puede mediae traves suma vacios excepciones. La distribucion mamiferos aves boreales sierra Norteamerica fue analizada este metodo. Tienen diferente origen, ya piensa son residuos aislados desde era pleistoceno probablemente han experimentado colonizacion recurrente lo largo toda su historia. Sin embargo, ambos grupos muestran encaje semejante altamente significativo modelo serie. No obstante, difieren el numero excepciones. los rico vacios; composicion actual resultado extincion selectiva originalmente fueron ricas. existencia estas sugiere proceso determinista extinciones ocuwieron secuencia aproximadamente igual pesar amplias variaciones tasas extinclh De hecho, ha variado menos extincion.
