Statistical validation of limiting similarity and negative co-occurrence null models : Extending the models to gain insights into sub-community patterns of community assembly

Competition between species is believed to lead to patterns of either competitive exclusion or limiting similarity within ecological communities; however, to date the amount of support for either as an outcome has been relatively weak. The two classes of null model commonly used to assess co-occurre...
