Abstract:Communities that vary in the richness of closely related species but occupy similar environments provide a powerful system to investigate how trait variation and species richness interact to fill ecological space. In tropical mountain habitats on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, murine rodent community richness ranges from 7 to 23 species. We measured 17 morphological, ecological, and isotopic traits to test for the expansion or packing of community ecospace among nine murine communities. Traits related to c… Show more
