报告摘要：

In the Origin of Species, Darwin proposed several ideas linking species interactions to their evolutionary relationships. These ideas are largely behind the development of the field of phylogenetic community ecology today. This field, however, has been dominated by observational studies. My lab conducted the first experimental tests of Darwin’s ideas, specifically Darwin’s phylogenetic limiting similarity hypothesis and naturalization hypothesis. I will discuss these experimental studies as well as a recent meta-analysis synthesizing findings of empirical studies of Darwin’s naturalization hypothesis.
