Species’ evolutionary histories shape their present‐day ecologies, but the integration of phylogenetic approaches in ecology has had a contentious history. The field of ecophylogenetics promised to reveal the process of community assembly from simple indices of phylogenetic pairwise distances – communities shaped by environmental filtering were composed of closely related species, whereas communities shaped by competition were composed of less closely related species. However, the mapping of ecology onto phylogeny proved to be not so straightforward, and the field remains mired in controversy. Nonetheless, ecophylogenetic methods provided important advances across ecology. For example the phylogenetic distances between species is a strong predictor of pest and pathogen sharing, and can thus inform models of species invasion, coexistence and the disease dilution/amplification effect of biodiversity. The phylogenetic structure of communities may also provide information on niche space occupancy, helping interpret patterns of facilitation, succession and ecosystem functioning – with relevance for conservation and restoration – and the dynamics among species within foodwebs and metacommunities. I suggest leveraging advances in our understanding of the process of evolution on phylogenetic trees would allow the field to progress further, while maintaining the essence of the original vision that proved so seductive.

生态系统进化论

物种的进化历史影响着当今的生态,但是系统进化方法在生态学中的整合已经引起了争议。生态系统学领域有望从系统发育成对距离的简单指标揭示群落聚集的过程-环境过滤形成的群落由密切相关的物种组成,而竞争形成的群落由较不紧密相关的物种组成。然而,事实证明,将生态学映射到系统发育上并不是那么简单,并且该领域仍然存在争议。尽管如此,生态系统发生方法仍在整个生态学领域取得了重要进展。例如,物种之间的系统发生距离是有害生物和病原体共享的重要指标,因此可以为物种入侵模型提供依据,共存和生物多样性对疾病的稀释/放大作用。社区的系统发育结构还可以提供有关利基空间占用的信息,有助于解释促进,演替和生态系统功能的模式(与保护和恢复有关)以及食物网和元社区内物种之间的动态。我建议,利用我们对系统树进化过程的理解的进步,可以使该领域进一步发展,同时保持被证明如此诱人的原始视觉的本质。演替和生态系统功能(与保护和恢复有关)以及食物网和元社区内物种之间的动态。我建议,利用我们对系统发育树进化过程的理解的进步,可以使该领域进一步发展,同时保持被证明如此诱人的原始视觉的本质。演替和生态系统功能(与保护和恢复有关)以及食物网和元社区内物种之间的动态。我建议,利用我们对系统发育树进化过程的理解的进步,可以使该领域进一步发展,同时保持被证明如此诱人的原始视觉的本质。
