“…Finally, Darwin's prediction that closely related species are strong competitors has been confirmed experimentally for plants and microbes (Maherali and Klironomos 2007, Burns and Strauss 2011, Violle et al 2011. Although a number of exceptions have been noted (e.g., Cahill et al 2008, Araya et al 2012, Godoy et al 2014, phylogenetic relatedness remains an informative surrogate for characterizing the similarity of species, particularly when functional trait data are unavailable (Swenson 2013). …”

“…While many plant competition studies examine processes of competition in terms of growth rates (Cahill et al 2008), the outcome of competition is often determined in subsequent generations by the relative number of viable seeds produced by competing species, which depends on pollination (Heilbuth et al 2001;Wilson & Harder 2003;Vamosi et al 2007). Scaling up from these local community dynamics are examinations of how local communities are assembled from regional species pools (Chave 2004;Tilman 2004), which depend upon rates of dispersal and ecological filtering (Myers & Harms 2009) as well as competition (Inouye et al 1980;Crawley & May 1987;Tilman 1994;Coomes & Grubb 2003).…”

“…species to coexist [1][2][3][4]. Darwin [5] proposed that competition should be strongest between close relatives because they share with each other more traits that influence species interactions, such as habitat use, the types of resources consumed and potential shared predators.…”

“…As such, he argued that closely related species should be the least likely to coexist. This idea is now commonly called the competition-relatedness hypothesis (CRH) [1], which is sometimes extended to suggest that species must evolve to differ by some minimum amount in order to stably coexist-an idea known as the phylogenetic limiting similarity [6]. Comprehensive tests of this hypothesis are critical because strong support for the CRH could motivate biologists to use phylogenetic distances between species to make important management decisions.…”
