The importance of neutral over niche processes in structuring Ediacaran early animal communities. [PDF]
Ecol Lett, 2019 Abstract The relative influence of niche vs. neutral processes in ecosystem dynamics is an on‐going debate, but the extent to which they structured the earliest animal communities is unknown. Some of the oldest known metazoan‐dominated paleocommunities occur in Ediacaran age (~ 565 million years old) strata in Newfoundland, Canada and Charnwood Forest,
