Deterministic assembly of land snail communities according to species size and diet

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We investigated whether coexisting snail species in 145 treeless fen communities in the Western Carpathian Mountains differed more in size and diet than would be expected by chance, as predicted for traits commonly associated with competition and differential resource acquisition under limiting similarity theory. Contrary to expectations, coexisting snail species were no more different in body size than expected by chance under a null model. However, variation in body size played a significant role in structuring snail communities: coexisting snail species were significantly more similar with respect to body size. We developed two new test statistics to expand our investigation of limiting similarity to include diet, a nominal trait. We tested whethercommunities of snails were characterized by a greater richness of diet, and whether different diets were represented more or less evenly within communities.
