Neutral colonisations drive high beta-diversity in cavernicole springtails (Collembola)

The theory of island biogeography predicts the effects of habitat isolation and size on species richness, community assembly, and the persistence of species. Various studies showed that habitat conditions and the ecology of species are also of relevance in explaining community assembly. Geographical...
