The Scale-Dependent Importance of Habitat Factors and Dispersal Limitation in Structuring Great Lakes Shoreline Plant Communities

Niche-based and neutral models of community structure posit distinct mechanisms underlying patterns in community structure; correlation between species' distributions and habitat factors points to niche assembly while spatial pattern independent of habitat suggests neutral assembly via dispersa...
