Nonasymptotic Species Richness Models and the Insects of British Trees
AUTOR(ES)
Strong, Donald R.
RESUMO
Nonasymptotic models of species diversity are those that do not consider negative feedback between number of species in a biota and the net rate of species addition. These models propose species richness differences to be primarily the product of geologic age differences among biotas. Nonasymptotic explanations are traditional for various diversity difference spectra, including latitudinal diversity gradients and the greater species richness of ancient compared to young lakes. I review new evidence that renders these nonasymptotic explanations doubtful.
