“…That species tend to be distributed independently of one another in ''continua'' along environmental gradients is a fundamental tenet of the individualistic perspective of plant community organization (51), and current models used to predict plant response to global warming largely conform to this dominant paradigm. However, these approaches are questionable, because they largely ignore (i) how genotypic diversity along niche width might alter a species' response and (ii) how interdependence among species might also be affected by climate change (52,53).…”

“…For more than 90 years or so, major efforts have been made in field and theoretical ecology to resolve this paradox [5,[9][10][11][12][13], and about 10 years ago investigations of this issue had gained considerable momentum and new directions since Stephen Hubbell revived neutral theory in community ecology [5]. Surprisingly, neutral models have been remarkably successful at reproducing several empirically observed macroscopic patterns for communities with organisms at the same trophic level such as tropical forests, grassland, shrubland, birds, groups of insects, fishes, marine Diatomea or coral reefs, although they 'contradict almost everything that ecologists have to come to understand about species diversity and its maintenance in communities' [14].…”

“…Community structure changes through time because of the subsequent immigration of species with lower dispersal potential (Lortie et al 2004), the addition of multiple trophic levels, and the biotic interactions within trophic levels (e.g., Odum 1969;Belyea and Lancaster 1999). This could lead to more predictable and stable communities, typical of late-succession (Clements 1916; but see Gleason 1926). Such communities are characterized by the presence of competitive large-bodied species (Sommer et al 1986) that allocate more energy to exploit resources and for defense (Pianka 1970;Foster and Tilman 2000;Pomati et al 2013).…”
