Description
English: Conservation Efforts Hinge on Understanding the Factors Controlling Biodiversity. The diverse forest canopy on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, has provided ecologist Stephen Hubbell with years of data to test his controversial Unified neutral theory of biodiversity. Despite the different fruit types and dispersal modes pictured here, Hubbell wonders how well patterns of diversity can be explained by focusing on the similarity of species rather than their differences.
Français : Les efforts de conservation de la nature reposent sur la compréhension des facteurs qui contrôlent la biodiversité. Le couvert forestier varié de l'île de Barro Colorado (Panama), a fourni à l'écologiste Stephen Hubbell des années de données pour tester sa controversée Théorie neutre unifiée de la biodiversité et de la biogéographie (Unified neutral theory of biodiversity). En dépit des différents types de fruits et modes de dispersion évoqués par cette photographie ici, Hubbell se demande comment on peut expliquer les modèles (patterns) de diversité en se concentrant sur les similitude interspécifiques espèces plutôt que sur leurs différences. Pour Hubbell les différences entre les membres d’une communauté écologique d’espèces similaires sur le plan trophique sont "neutres" ; elle n’ont pas d'incidence sur leur succès. Cela implique que la biodiversité est créée au hasard
